| Just about a few months ago I started watching anime, and most of my friends clown on it super hard. I only have one friend who I can talk to it about. I just am not sure what to do because I don't have anyone to will talk about anime with, and I respect my friends that they just watch netflix and american shows. but it's whenever they talk about shows it's so different. Should I just tell them that I watch anime if they bring it up or keep it to myself? |

| If they mock you for watching foreign cartoons then they are assholes, simple as that. No need to worry so much about it since in adulthood people care less about what you do. Just be yourself and everything will be fine. |

| What you watch is your choice in the end. Whether you tell them or not is truly up to you. Friends are supposed to support your likes and dislikes, though they might not enjoy it themselves. Personally I am the same way, I have very few people around me in real life to talk about anime with. I really look towards people on the internet to meet and talk about what I am watching and that stuff with. But I understand where you come from. I think having someone face to face to talk about anime is very nice as well. Don't let this thought take over your life, you don't need to negative energy! But don't let it take over yourself like a shell to where you need to walk on eggshells around people. (I hope it makes scenes) |

| I second what the others have been saying. Don't let other people's thoughts get into your head. Friends should be the ones who accept you for who you are, even if you might differ on TV show or other tastes. Watching anime should be a source of relaxation and entertainment, not a flashpoint for argument or ridicule. |
| If you like anime, you like anime, don't worry about what other people say. |
 |
| You should keep it to yourself until you meet people who are more progressive unless you want to be the constant butt of the joke. No hopes dealing with kiddos. In the meantime, you could use MAL to discuss anime. |

| Thankfully, most of my irl friends are webs (which seems to be rare in this app) so I have no problem bringing it up in normal conversation. If you care about your social life, it's probably not the best idea to lead with the fact that you like anime bc it is seen as "weird" in a lot of places. But if someone is going to give you shit about liking anime without even taking the time to form constructive criticism about it, they probably aren't worth your time. |
| You should tell them, and in the end if they still make fun of you then they are just bad friends and you should stay away from them. |

You will talk with your friends about: - Classes and homework - Relationships - Traveling - University and profession - Where to move - Diet - World events Believe me when I say this: Fuck anime and manga. FUCK ONE PIECE! How about that? I'm a teacher and genuinely honestly enjoy talking to my friends at work about Real Estate The status of salaries Anything but anime Sure, some of friends teachers ask me for recommendations about anime or movie. I'm glad it is rare for one to ask me about anime, because I honestly don't enjoy talking about anime. I even don't hide it from my students. They know, and I rather ask them What do you do after school? Any question about my subject? Talk about cars. things like those Much love and respect, Erokk, but fuck anime. |

| That depends on how much you value the company of your friends as opposed to self respect. If your friends can't respect your interests, then they're not real friends anyways, but sometimes people need other people's company even if they're fake pieces of shit. |
