I really want to talk to him and become acquaintances but I'm so damn shy because I rarely socialize with other people. Plus to make it worse I always try to hide my interests because not many people around here have the same hobbies and it comes off as me being somewhat unimpressionable. It doesn't help how into manga I am, either. Just needed to get it off my chest.
