Your Secrets

I carry a manga or light novel with me at all times and read it in plain view of anybody who cares to see it. It's not my problem if people can't mind their own business.   reply

It depends on you, if you want friends with the same interests as you just share what you like. I did and now all anime and manga-loving people irl come to me to chat and it's fun, we share info on websites, we give each other recommandatons on anime to watch and where to buy merch. I think it's nice, help make friends, also I don't know where you ......   reply

I started as closet weeb but somehow I opened up to people and that was a really great experience I meat a lot of people who shared the same interest as me in school. my friends at school had no problem they did not say it was for kids or anything I found out they had other friends how loved anime as much as I do. some of them made fun of me for wa......   reply

as a person who likes anime so much, i tend to show it from time to time but it depends on the people i share it to. i may show it in a subtle way but i will never deny that i like anime just because others don't like it. i think you'll be fine showing that you like anime because it's what you love and no one should judge you for it but i think it ......   reply

From my experience,, its pretty much hard for a person to hide their likes and interest especially if they have grown to love it throughout their life. Most people don't really have the same interest in anime as much as we, otaku's do, so in times of talking to those people yall just have to keep it in a bear minimun in talking about anime.

You shouldn't keep it a secret if you like sth do it without regard to others.. If some people thought you are weird, its not up to them.. When i first enterd my uni i thought so, i didnt want to talk about me watching anime.. But later on i found that half of my friends watching it, and and alot of people in my department also do so, they even p......   reply

You don't have to hide it just don't make it your identity, it's an interest not a lifestyle. You'll find as you get older that there a lot of people from different walks of life that actually like anime, they're just not weird about it.   1 reply

I don't get why students think it's weird to be liking anime at their age. I'm 22 and studying medicine, I'm also a TA at the Biochem Dept in my school most of the kids in the class I usually sit in with are really into anime and no one really thinks it's weird. Your interests are your own business, don't let anyone dictate what you should like o......   reply

I understand your sentiments or issues in being open about liking anime but you see in college, people are more open minded so I don't think you need to hide it. Also, don't let anime be your sole identity. Take your time to learn and try new things or hobbies.   1 reply
