And if there are, then do you guys think you're spending way too much time reading manga/watching anime on the computer when you should be socializing?
I do. Death Note, Fruits Basket, Bleach, Naruto, Vampire Princess, DN Angel, FMA...the list goes on and on. Most people my age haven't even heard of those before, which sucks, because it makes them less relatable (for me, at least). I wish I had someone to watch and discuss anime/read manga with. Since I don't have many people I can talk to, regarding the fact I don't have much in common with most, anime & manga are like drugs -- addictions, escapes from reality. Much like drawing, actually.
I have spent soooo much time on the internet for those two things. My social skills have been kind of withering even more due to that. But well, I can't help myself. Sometimes I just feel as if fiction is ... better than real life, which is why I spend a LOT of time reading fantasy books too.
I don't know what to do about it. I guess I have to find a balance between time spent online and time spent with real people. Which means I have to somehow rid myself of this social anxiety I've built up over the years *sigh* Well I'm going to have to get over it eventually if I hope to have any kind of social life. Which I definitely do, it's just, I'm so used to this lethargic-ish lifestyle I've set for myself, it's going to be hard to change it.
Anyway. Enough with my rambling. What about you?
