Fangover

The melancholy emotional hangover that occurs after being around family. Particularly applicable if you are in recovery and your family is not. But can be used simply to describe the fog of defeat you feel when being exposed to criticisms or feeling unworthy after being with family. Makes you doubt yourself and feel sad that the relationships aren't in a better place.
Still feeling my fangover from Thanksgiving dinner where my mom was criticizing me and bragging about my sister's.
Massive fangover from the family reunion where there was too much one-up manship and comparison about careers/incomes/accomplishments.
I have a fangover from the weekend because I wish I was in a better place with my sisters.

Fanboy

1. Someone who is male and obsessed with a show, comic, movie, band, etc. They know everything about it and will take any chance to talk about it.

2. Someone who is male and very nerdy and geeky. They often write fan fiction or draw fan art of their obsessions.

3. Someone who is very stubborn and will defend the franchise of their obsession with their dying breath. Can often be obnoxious and unopen to other opinions, often a teenager or young adult.

Most fanboys are one of these or some combination of all of them. They're often neurodivergent in some way and spend a lot of time online interacting with fellow fans. Common fandoms are Star Wars, Star Trek, Dr. Who, Twilight, Divergent, Hunger Games, and Harry Potter just to name a few.

Specifically after a majority of dead dove or proship fans have left the fandom. Thus, the antis turn on themselves and start cannibalizing whoever is left of the fandom.
I was going to join this new fandom, but there's a bad case of Fandom Cannibalism going on. Everyone is just attacking each other.
