| I was already a little introvert but I am watching too much anime since last 3 years and now i think i am more introvert compare to 3 years ago. I watch more anime instead of socialising with others. What about you ? |
| Was already an introvert before watching animes so that didn't change much. |

| Not really. I've always been an ambivert and anime hasn't changed any aspect of that. |
 |
| No, I can still talk with other people just as usual even I do watched many anime. |
  What Does Pot of Greed do?  |
| YES. I used to talk a pretty good amount and was pretty outgoing. Now I stay at home and watch anime and play gacha games on a daily basis. I literally couldn't talk properly to other people after I became too introverted when I went back to school from lockdown. |

| I've always been an introvert, which led me to start watching anime, which led me to be more open to socializing with friends who also like anime |
 |
| I think I'm less of an introvert since I started watching more anime, lol. |
| Not really. I don't think I'm an introvert in the first place, rather an ambivert. I've often been called an introvert by very outgoing people but at the same time I've also been called a massive extrovert by some of my more shy, and self-proclaimed, introverted friends. |
| I was an introvert in high school but after going to University, I became an extrovert. You won't be able to survive in a university, managing your degree as well as your job while being socially awkward so don't worry if you don't have much social skills right now. As you will manage more and more stuff in life you will see your social anxiety slowly fading away. I have been an anime watcher my entire life and I don't think anime had any effect in my personality whatsoever. |

| I've always been a bit of an introvert, so no, not really. |

| Watching anime does make anyone introverted. People become introverted through their experience talking to people not yielding the feedback they desire. Kind of like a rat conditioned into a behavior by the prospect of cheese. |

| this thread will be filled with beta cringe |

| Introversion and extroversion are inherent traits in people. Your actions don't have an effect on it. It's actually more the other way around, people who are already introverts typically tend to have hobbies that don't require socialising, like watching anime. |
| Nah not really, I balance my time with anime/manga and my social life and studies pretty well enough to make myself not be a complete introvert. |
| Quite the opposite actually. I had a full fledged communication disorder before I started watching anime. I started watching anime during 2020. In the span of nearly two years, I have gotten a lot better at communication. Now I am simply socially awkward and anxious and can hold a conversation when I have to. Watching those characters interact with each other helped me I guess. |

It refers to how much of social input your brain can take without getting drained, until you need alone time to recharge. People are not born introverted. Their appearance (mostly genetic) determines their treatment from others. Such output from others can cause introversion. How humans perform socially is relative to their experience. Correlation is not causation. |

| I’ve always been super introverted, anime just made me worse |

Correlation is not causation. Poor social experiences can make you antisocial or shy, but it doesn't make you introverted. That's not what introversion is. If someone is introverted it is by natural preference, not because they fear rejection or are otherwise shy. Words have definitions. |

| Doing too much of anything that involves being alone in your room will probably make you a bit of an introvert. |
| well Re:zero transformed me from an introvert to an ambiver so yeah Progress |
| Nah, not at all. I´ve never been one of those who suffers from anxiety or panics around too many people, but I consider myself a misanthrope, so I guess it doesn´t make it any better lmao. |
| I've always been an introvert since I can remember and sometimes anime makes me wish I was not and sometimes like motivates me to go out and do things but well it's all just thoughts at the end of the day and I just end up being the introvert just wishing in my mind I was a cool extrovert. Though if you watch too many animes continously that means you are not going outside more, talking to people less so it seems like you have lost the ability to communicate properly and be comfortable around other people like the way you used to. It's ok and eventually you will get over it. I have these moments every few weekend where I'm cooped up in my room for 2 days not talking to anybody just continously binging anime and then monday morning first class it's like I've forgotten how to interact with other people, how to be around people, where to look and stuff but eventually everything settles down and I'm back to being normal in a few hours. |

 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| The opposite for me, it encouraged me to make more friends and meet other people |

| I've been a loner my whole life but not because of anime. Mostly because i was never properly socialized as a kid. |
| My waifu is the most wonderful waifu. Mai Valentine. We're freaking out that we're running out of time, but to do what? Should i stop and think of that? Is there something i could do to slow it down? Live in a day for once, instead of watch it sprinting by |
| Nope. That was a natural progression due to things I'd rather not get into on here. Watching anime was just a symptom of that, for lack of a better term. |
| Gee, i wonder if anime made me an introvert or i love anime because i was already an introvert.. If i was living in a cooler city like new york or london or Melbourne, i certainly wouldn't be watching anime all day... I would be out and about always... So i guess it was circumstances and environment that made me like this. |
 |
| People scared of silence made me that way. I've realized that people fear silence for some reason so they start to talk mumbo jumbo that doesn't make sense or a small talk. Both is annoying, that's why I usually first wait for what they've got on their mind or start the conversation myself. Don't see how can anime make you introvert, it rather fuels your escapism if you are antisocial or starting to be, that's different thing tho. |
| I was always an introvert, if anything watching anime made me more extroverted. I voluntarily seek out crowds now, they still tire me but I at least don't refuse to go somewhere because it's crowded. That's progress at least. |
 |
| i was an introvert, still am, and have irl friends who arent that are weebs as a point of comparison. lol . |
 |
| Already a quiet person and an introvert since the beginning. I'm getting more and more quiet I admit but still not much change than before. |
  𝑇𝐼𝑃𝑆 𝐼𝑁 𝐺𝐼𝑁𝑇𝐴𝑀𝐴 - NOT your usual shounen anime - Pure comedy? DEAD WRONG - Treat Gintama as SoL/weekly sitcom especially earlier seasons - Ep 1 & 2 are for manga readers - BIG patience for its 'slow' start |
| It's more like being an introvert made me watch too much anime. |
| I already was an introvert, so I guess it is the way around. |
| If anything it is a lack of Anime that made me introverted. Once I dove back into the hobby I have a new found motivation to go out and meet other Weebs. Been mostly successful so far. |
-insert NGE meme here- |
| No, I've always been an introvert. What attracted me to anime was more just personal taste. I have always gravitated towards the art and story telling style of Japanese media since I was younger. Growing up with Japanese video games, and whatever anime was localized at the time. |
 This ground is soiled by those before me and their lies. I dare not look up for on me I feel their eyes |
