| Yes, people really are that judgmental. And I don't blame them. |
 |
| People will hate what is different to them. Anime is different from anything the western society has to offer so... |
 |
| "When you think anime, you think otaku. When you think otaku, you think people that dislike other people. Those people become hikikomori (people who shut themselves in)". |
| I assume it's due to a handful of people associating anime with the "Weeaboo" people. They most likely assume every fan of anime is like that. I know more casual fans than I do of that breed. Though I have encountered them before... |

That's them on the internet, in real life they are all timid little things that get scared by bunny rabbits, and think females are mythical creatures. I only discovered that females were real when I turned 28. Yes that is older than I actually am right now. GET THE JOKE? |

| I'm socially awkward, I'm weird, I'm practically a shut-in, I don't give a f*ck on what others think about those facts and all this would be the case without anime and manga. You see, it varies from person to person. |

You see, it varies from person to person. Seconded. I would be the same with or without anime. I've been like that for a few years, yet i watched anime for around 1.5 years. |
 |
| It's a self-enforcing cycle. People think you're weird, you put up safe guards to hide the weirdness, only to make it seem weird that you'd go to length to hide it. But hey, if you're happy with yourself, why should you give a shit if other people think you're weird? |
| I went on a trip to vietnam to do some volunteer work a couple of years back and part of my team, more than 30 people, is that only 4 including myself watch anime, the other guys are over 30+. They thought we were weird at first because of all the talk that we were doing. Days pass after working with the other people, they told us its cool that we could happily talk about something that could easily have us look bad(the other guy even brought some of his figurines lol). We were all having fun and we even got the entire team to watch anime. Well i also cant disregard the fact that other people are pretty hard headed and only believing what they hear and stuff. Most of the non anime viewers that i met are pretty fine with it actually. |
| I'm socially awkward. |
| Yes it's a rule. |
| Apparently the majority of the fan base for Anime ect. have autism of some sort. That's just what people think. I don't leave my house for anything other than school, so what? I enjoy sitting in my room and spending my life doing what I love. No one knows what Anime is where I live, so they assume I'm weird as fuck, which to them I am, considering the unique interests. I learned to not care what others think a long time ago. |

| Yes, society is really THAT judgmental. Don't worry about it. |
 |
| Most weebs are like that so you can't really blame them. |
 |
| I think that is 75% true though |
 .. |
| People have that view of anime fans because a lot of them are like these fuckers: If people didn't make it such a priority to announce to the world that they are fans of anime, then people wouldn't have such a negative view of them. |
 |
| Well yea, but Im pretty sure most of them secretly watch some anime from time to time. |
| To bicycle, or not to bicycle: that is not a question |

| Primary school - Not socially awkward, had friends and everything. High school - Extremely socially awkward, I sit by myself. :l |

| Watching anime doesn't mean you're socially awkward or whatever. You can take it as you feel you love it. Most of those people outside are too closed minded, and perhaps they are the only retarded. Outside perspective is the one with that opinion. If you feel amazing as you are and enjoying anime, that's great. You don't need to care about what others say. Don't give a shit. |
 |
| This is how it not works: anime > socially awkward This is how it is : socially awkward > anime |

| If you are confident, show appropiate social skills and don't act like a retard just as weeabos do, then I'm sure people won't judge you even if they know your hobbies. |

| I believe it is up to the individual. I remember I refused to even say the word anime, because it was the "weird" kids did, until I gave it a chance and realized it was fantastic. But when it comes down too it people are extremely surprised when I tell them anime is my choice of killing time. I am a 6' 2", 200 lbs Marine. In reality just cause you watch anime it doesn't make you socially awkward, that is just something society has pressed into our head. |
| 'Murica, fuck yeah! |
| Nope. But there are a lot of people that do associate these two unrelated things. Blame society. |

I'm pretty socially awkward, quite a lot actually. I've never had more than 2 friends that i talked to regularly be loner in pre-school(yes, even then) -> go to primary, have one friend -> go to middle and get depression from having 0 friends and people bullying me about anything they could ->recover and stop giving a shit now I only go out for mountain biking alone and going to school, where I get mocked(jealousy from having good grades maybe? It's cool to be retarded here) and have 2 friends. I kind of hate portugal right now... |

I kind of hate portugal now... Yeah, there are still some people I know that share that ignorance, but they are a minority. It really does break my heart hearing these stories about these sad experiences of childhood. I had one school year where it all went to shit, but I've been pretty happy otherwise. Have you ever considered trying to be more outgoing and friendly? If you're the type of person that just sits in the corner and does nothing, then you can't really expect anything other than what you've experienced. |

RandomChampion said: there is sorrow in loneliness, but glory in solitude. Mind if I frame this? Really, there is nothing wrong with watching anime. However not everyone has the open mind to understand another's interests etc. |
| You're all idiots, but I'm no different. |
| I'd be socially akward even if I wouldnt watch anime. You're the one finding yourself socially akward anyway.If you can accept others as they are and they dont accept you how you are then there is a tiny bitsy problem. |

| Society changes with time. You cant expect that when, for example, our 40+ years old parents or people generally, see you watching anime at your 20+ that they will accept it. Some will for sure, but for others u will be wierdo that still watches cartoons. They had fun doing other things , we have fun watching anime (and u must admit that there are way more anime with better plot that 70% of today tv shows). And as @RandomChampion said better have 2-3 real friends that bunch of random people around you. Keep on doing what makes you feel good. |
| Your story was bad. It was terrible, in fact. It was like that lame twilight bullshit. I have no patience for that crap. It’s not writing, it’s like bound toilet paper. |
| If you're not socially awkward, and you tell people you watch anime, then they won't think you're socially awkward. |
