Melancholy's Things

I'm not sure if I got gaslighted or what, but I had this convo with an internet friend, they were asking for a romance recommendation, and I did gave it to them, a GL story specifically.

Then like 5mins later they asked for something different because they didn't like the plot (?) Despite me recommending them the story because it had their fav trope and dynamic, and the plot was similar to the story she was recently obsessed. Well I shrugged it of not thinking much, but since right now my interest lies in GL, I continued to recommend her some.

Then she straight up told me to recommend her other things that wasn't GL, and that got me confused cuz she read BL (that's how we even got close) that's why I thought she wouldn't have a problem with my recs and that she just didn't genuinely like the plot. Then she proceeded to tell me it was because it made her feel uncomfortable and GL stories felt forced or unnatural. So I told her that was Homophobic thought, then she denied it and said she read BL which was Homosexual (that if she was homophobic she wouldn't be reading it.), that it's not like she has actual issues with wlw couple irl nor does she hate them or call them name, and she was "friends" with me who was bi.

So I'm not sure what to think.

Ok chill I'm playing with you, I don't HATE it, that's a pretty big word, but I just find myself not wanting to read them anymore. Am I the only one who's having this kind of phase? Idk how or when, I just realised that every time I see a Manhwa/manga/manhua Recommendations and it has to boys in it, I beg in my head while I search it to not be BL (Because yeah my Newsfeed has things I'm interested in, and BL is simply one of them) and if it is BL, I get disappointed...? Is that the right word? Like I don't feel like reading it because of it is BL... and I'm getting frustrated for feeling it, is this what people call a burnout? When something you really like suddenly doesn't interest you anymore? Because it's frustrating AF, especially because it's something I've liked for years, like the other genre I like, but why this genre specifically?I wanna let go cause deadass it stresses me out, but like it's been thier for so long that I'm not sure if I should. I Like I wanna read it and enjoy it, but I somehow can't...?


LOL Why did I make this sound like such a serious topic? ╥﹏╥ Yes I'm deadass frustrated by it, something I once enjoyed is annoying the hell out of you, but why do I feel like I made it sound like A life or Death situation?

PS: Thank you for listening to my ted talk, I feel like getting it out my chest, and I thought what better way to talk about BL related things then mangago, right?

But for real tho... have you all ever experienced something like this?

And oh yeah hope you all have/had a good day!

A Fanbase, genre, series, movie, or etc that you were once so Obsessed with but now currently don't like/hate? And why?
