Hugs! I think that the fandom culture under which we met is now dead. And I wonder if that doesn't play into the disconnect so many of us feel. It's impossible to connect because the culture has become too ephemeral, too limited. If it's all pretty GIFs (I'd be a millionaire if I got a dollar every time I'ver heard people say that very phrase to describe tumblr), then there is no "there" there. I'm SO glad that we connected when it was possible to connect with people. You know, form ACTUAL friendships. I can truly say those were the days.
