Your worth as a person and as a friend has nothing to do with your skill as a musician.
I am glad you got to OVFF and had a good time. And yeah, do remember that fandom has a larger than average number of people who aren't well-socialized. Sometimes it's because they have some level of autism, sometimes they're just plain introverts, sometimes it's just because they never learned "the rules" that most of society tends to go by, sometimes they're just different ... and yeah, there are a few outright jerks in the crowd as well. Don't let it get to you. Do remember that when you're dealing with the "differently socialized", trying to meet them at least halfway sometimes helps.
