What helps me that I occasionally do (ymmv, but maybe it could be useful sometimes) is when I'm feeling really anxious and like I need some reassurance, I actually make a post where I say something along the lines of "today I feel really insecure/anxious/whatnot and I could use some reassurance. you don't have to post a novel but if you see this would you mind leaving a few words? I just feel like I could use a little good wishes/support/whatev." I find in my case it's really empowering to be able to clearly articulate my feelings and needs and ask for what I want to meet them.
I don't tend to read fanfic of stuff unless I'm really into whatever it's of, or the blurb sounds too intriguing to pass up. I used to but lately I find fanfic doesn't do what it once did for me so much. So I feel you there. I remember I like NKOTB growing up... but I forget their names or anything about them. XD I was mostly into them because my sister was, I was only about 11 when they were big.
