/jp/ - Otaku Culture

I wear this from the xkcd store. Sometimes people talk to me.

Years ago when I went through my weak attempt at becoming a normalfag phase I browsed /jp/ in class and hoped someone would call me out but nobody gave a shit.

>>11150500
when will people stop being dumb and realize the term they are looking for is "asocial" and that the term "antisocial" is something else entirely

>>11150500
Being called shy is an insult, especially if you're a male

I'd rather call myself antisocial (even if its the wrong term) because it makes you sound like a toughguy.

>>11150500
>shy
>ugly manly hairy muscular and big adam's apple

>>11150506
I think that's the point.

It's saying, "I am asocial, not antisocial. You can talk to me and I won't do bad things, I'm just a shy person."

Randall Munroe is a smart man. He makes comics about equations and stuff.

>>11150519
you can be big and hairy but still feel alone and scared

>>11150529
Sounds like a certain famous /jp/ user who likes to do complicated math problems.

but you seem if you are man mcman it's not cute, it's retarded to be shy

I almost thought about becoming riajuu but reading that manga and the things required to become riajuu I'd rather stay weird.

>>11150567
You can't become one. You're either born with it or you're not.

Did this anon make any more threads?

>>11150573
Quite obviously. This life isn't as fulfilling as I'd hoped but it seems better than the alternative.

>>11150519
I'm big and hairy, people usually think I'm some bully who is going to break their legs, but I'm just really shy and self conscious so I dont say anything..

I am ugly and hairy but I still just want the affection of one person

>>11150567
I prefer the term "normalfag" because it makes you sound like less of a weeb

>>11150596
Yeah, but Riajuu has more of a specific definition and CAN be used outside of 4chan, like Hikkimori.

>>11150519
>>11150509
>>11150506
The big thing you're all forgetting is that wearing hilarious graphic tees in general is awful.

>>11150577
i'm always making more threads

>>11150588
Would you accept the affection of an ugly and hairy( or obese and smelly with bad skin) person or does your "one person" have to be cute and pretty like the girls you think about when jerk off?

>>11150588
another pic giving me creeps

I'm so happy I'm not like you

>>11150610
I don't mind if it's a band or an organization or whatever, but if it's a witty slogan you'd better let me stare at your tits while I read it, or just don't bother wearing it.

>>11150616
>Would you accept the affection of an ugly and hairy( or obese and smelly with bad skin) person
Well he is posting Milk so it seems like he would.

>>11150619
What about the fujoshi neighborhood story though?

>>11150610
having anything written on your clothes is disgusting, indeed!

I only wear pure color

>>11150632
I am the same
I have never worn an article of clothing with words on it

>>11150557
Fucking female privilege.

It's not enough that I'm not allowed to do the things they do or wear the things they wear- I'm not even allowed to be myself without becoming a social pariah.

If I were born female, my shyness and my shortness and my bitch hips and my soft jawline and pale complexion would make me sexier and more attractive instead of the opposite.

I only get one life, I'll never even get to feel what it is like to be female for one instant. I wish I could believe in reincarnation.

>>11150616
I would.

>>11150638
Don't be so upset anon, you'd be ugly no matter what you were born as!

>>11150567
You can be a weird riajuu, just be socially active enough/not retarded and you'll probably get a relatively strong social-life.

>>11150632
>>11150637

Really depends on your age and the look you are going for. If you are over 20, it's time to put the graphic t-shirts away and get something with a collar but if you are a teen and you a long hair metal type, a skater, whatever cliques there are these days, it's pretty much part of te deal.

Not saying it's right. It's just a hell of a lot different than seein a fat 40 year old dude in a faded t-shirt that says "Sk8 or Die" on it

>>11150610
My entire wardrobe is graphic tees and gym shorts.

>>11150662
I don't have anything with a collar on it either because I think they're annoying and I hate having to button up the top of my shirt

>>11150659
I have a somewhat active social life, but I feel like I'm dragging behind my friends. I don't feel like I'm a part of them and that I'm somehow not on their level.

>>11150656
I'm not that ugly, just short and fair-skinned.
I'd rather be an ugly girl than have this body anyway. Even as an ugly female you get many of the benefits of female privilege.

If I felt like crying in public people would jump at the chance to console me, I could wear whatever clothes I like, no one would ever try to start a fight with me or take advantage of my stature, plus it's a lot easier to make up for your ugliness as a female with makeup and stuff.

Oh also I have red hair, one more thing that makes me repulsive as a male but would make me a sex-bomb as a female. I just want out of this body so badly...

>>11150696
I've felt this before, but I interpreted that as just me being paranoid and scared of being judged after being in the same group of friends for way too long, so I tried to meet new people - which worked really well and expanded my social-circle a lot. Maybe you could try that?

If your friends still invite you to hang out and stuff like that you most likely have nothing to worry about and just need to work on your self-esteem.

>>11150702
If you actually were an ugly girl, you'd probably hate it, being female isn't an instant guarantee of an easy life.

>getting sympathy from crying in public
Far more likely they'll just awkwardly ignore you, even if they didn't, it's no guarantee that they'd actually be able to help. You'd also hate yourself more for looking like an emotional wreck in front of others.

>wearing whatever clothes you like
>no-one picking on you or taking advantage
lolno

>makeup
It works to a certain degree, but you'd be too lazy to apply it, right? and it's not like similar products don't exist for men.

>>11150746
If I could wear makeup I would
Actually I'm thinking about buying some online and wearing it anyway.

>>11150746
>you'd also hate yourself more for looking like an emotional wreck
Are you saying it's less embarrassing to cry in public as a man? People don't just awkwardly ignore you they get sick at the very sight too.

>lolno
I've never seen any girl, ugly or not, bullied into buying cigarettes for her coworker every day, or coerced into running errands for the people she calls friends, or pushed out of line, or judged for her height, or ignored and interrupted in conversation, or humiliated for having red hair or big hips or fair skin or being shy or physically weak.

>it's not like similar products don't exist for men
No, there are no products for men to make my eyes look bigger and brighter or my complexion rosier or my eyebrows more striking or my lips thicker.

All this "if u were an ugly girl" talk is pointless anyway. The whole reason my heart aches so much is because I have so many features that I know would have made me beautiful as a female if I had come out that way.

>>11150784
>crying in public
It might be slightly less embarrassing for women, but it's still pretty bad.

>bullied into buying cigarettes and stuff
You mustn't have seen many girls then, because that happens all the time.

>red hair,big hips, etc.
Some of those things are unattractive in girls too, some might not be, but you'd have a whole host of new things to worry about and get judged for as well.

That's because those kinds of things aren't attractive in men. Just keep your skin and hair in good condition and shave every day, and you'll be fine.

Anyway, my point is, that being a girl most likely wouldn't make you any happier. Maybe if you were an actual transsexual it might, but to me it sounds to me like you've just got depression, and losing your Y chromosomes wouldn't make that go any easier.

>>11150784
>bullied
Why do you allow yourself to be bullied? I don't see the point.

>>11150784
Girls are pretty horrible to each-other though. In all-female social-circles bullying, unnecessary drama, dishonesty and backstabbing are all relatively common compared to social-circles with mostly guys. For example, if you're a lazy, shy, socially-inept slob as a female you're socially going to have it worse than most lazy, shy, socially awkward guys.

>>11150830
Ok, thank you my /jp/ psychiatrist.
I'll continue to subconsciously exhibit female mannerisms and gait and speech patterns and be humiliated for being passive and permissive and never "manning up" and only ever feel comfortable and able to speak freely when I'm pretending to be a girl online or having a dream where I'm a girl, and *you* can continue to believe I'm "just depressed".

>>11150839
I don't understand the question

>>11150891
Sounds like your impression of female social-circles comes from Disney shows and shitty high school movies like MEAN GIRLS to me.

>>11150929
Don't get rude to me, I'm trying to help you here.

Anyway, seems you're depressed. Go see a therapist, they can help you much more than I can.

>>11150929
>Sounds like your impression of female social-circles comes from Disney shows and shitty high school movies like MEAN GIRLS to me.
I've had several girls, all from different backgrounds, tell me this. Some of my friends also have good experience with mostly-female social-circles. I'm not saying all girls are like this, but these things tend to happen more often with girls than guys. If you're a guy it's not that hard to fall into a group of like-minded and relaxed friends and not get judged too much.

>>11150929
Uh, hey man, have you considered like.. sex change or at least hormone therapy..?

>>11150974
I'm too meek and mild to ever be rude or assertive in real life so I guess I have to let my negative emotions out online... but you could probably call that the "General Theory of 4chan".

I'm too shy, too poor, and too skeptical to see a fucking scumbag therapist. I saw many as a kid, nothing good ever came from it (for me at least, the therapists got some nice kickbacks for prescribing me poisonous drugs that aren't labeled to treat any condition I had).

>If you're a guy it's not that hard to fall into a group of like-minded and relaxed friends and not get judged too much
Fuck you. No really fuck you. If that were true I wouldn't be in this situation. All I've ever wanted is "like-minded and relaxed friends". There is a suffering and a longing like none other that comes with spending years without having a soul to speak to about the things you enjoy or are passionate about. I talk out loud to myself sometimes. I'm glad it's so easy for you though.

I just wish I could be a socially-shining example but instead I have all the traits Western culture despises and trying to be different doesn't feel like me, which gets me accusations of lazy when I don't want to do it.

>>11151030
I'm almost 23, it's too late.

Even if I started early I'd probably still look like a freak. I don't want to be a man with his hair nair'd off and his gonads neutered and his testosterone supplemented with estrogen and his body cut up to look more like something else, I want to be a female. I thought about sex-change a lot when I was a teenager, but to me it was always "magic wand sex change" or nothing. I just want to turn back time and come out of the womb a female and live the life I should have had, but I can't do that. So I just wait to die, I guess, too pussy to kill myself.

Besides, I could never afford it. I live in the land of the free, you see, where you have to already be successful to have a life worth treating or preserving.

Are you an extrovert? I don't have these issues as an introvert.

>>11151106
I don't know what I am. Personality tests always label me an introvert, but I do have a persistent craving to have someone near me that I can talk to about things I care about. I don't know, stupid video games and 2D girls and cute stuff and art and music and philosophy and other dumb shit I guess.

I do have times where I really just want to drink by myself and browse 4chan or whatever, but being alone when it's not one of those times gives me this cold, dark feeling that rises up from my stomach and I start to feel very depressed and emotional. Most of the time I yearn for someone to listen to and someone to listen to me, which I guess is why I type these novel-esque replies.

I've never known a friend or an acquaintance who likes 2D, or likes the kinds of games I like or likes to chill out at home and talk and play games and watch movies and shit instead of going out to tha club and the bar and the bowling alley and the big game. I have a huge amount of social anxiety but I know there are people similar enough to me somewhere that I could be comfortable and be myself around them instead of pretending to care about their interests just to have some human interaction.

>>11151147
Introversion does not mean that you don't like people or being in the company of people. It just means that you value your alone time and find ways to fill it.

>>11151154
So am I still an introvert if I fill that time with fantasizing about companionship, watching people play video games on youtube as a substitute for having someone to play them with myself, and posting on /jp/ as a substitute for having real friends?

>>11151147
>gives me this cold, dark feeling that rises up from my stomach and I start to feel very depressed and emotional
I doubt you'll get rid of this without drugs.
