That sounds endearing. Your mom loves you and is a nice person you should talk to her more.

I wish. They act totally normal around me and then talk about me behind my back.

My parents seem to completely ignore all my my figures and stuff.

For that I am grateful.

Four dreamcasts.

FOUR

My Mom is awesome. She doesn't mind the stuff in my room, as long as it doesn't get cluttered.

You should be thankful for being in a rich family.
My family would never supply me with $$$ for this kind of hobby.

Nope. I only have 2 figures. The only weird thing I have in my room is tiny japanese food toys, and everyone seems to love them.

>>5889613

Your mom sounds nice, my mom tells me to buy less action figures. I think she changes poses on articulated stuff I have around though.

Just enjoy having a mom who honestly cares about your interests, Anon!

My mother tells me she worries about me because "It's not normal to stay in your room all day."

It sounds like your mom wants to get to know her son better.

But it saves space and ensures that you don't sit in one place for too long. It works pretty well for me.

One time i walked passed my mom's room and she was reading a book called "When your grown children dissapoint you". I saw "About your grown child's mental health..." also on the bed.

They don't care about my hobbies or lifestyle, but I'm sure they're extremely disappointed in me deep down.

>>5889656

That's depressing.

My mother thinks my figures are cute, especially my Jun.

>>5889613

Are you describing the Haruhi and Yuki figures that look like this one? I feel like you are ...

My mom love my Cirno. She said it is cuter than Reimu and Marisa.

>>5889656
Ahahahaha.
Now I know why you're like that. With such a mother.

My mom used to be real awkward when I was in high school. She bought me a new computer on Valentine's Day, because she thought I was depressed. Talk about being an enabler.

>>5889626

That said, one day my mom came home with some transformers one day and proudly exclaimed that she bought me robots, so I guess she's trying.

OOPS.

>>5889685

What's wrong with her?

She gets irrationally angry at times, and sure my brother supposedly once found some old files that proved she was "crazy", but I never saw them or what they said

She always seemed alright to me.

My mom commented on my Rozen Maiden figures. She likes Suiseiseki the best, great taste mom!

>>5889702
Eh, well I was 10 or 9, I don't remember

Anyways, it's not a big deal!

PROTIP: Get a job and move out. Then you only have to deal with those cocksuckers at work, and you never even have to see their goddamned faces when you're off the clock.

If you do it right, you never have to deal with family again, at least until another funeral where you might be in somebody's will.

Getting a job is like a fucking cheat code for real life.

my mom often ask me when i plan to get married because grandchildren

Oh god, my mother just asked me what /jp/ is, help.

That's just what his parents keep on telling the social workers.

I get on great with my mother, was different when I was younger - we watch the same kind of stuff, play the same kind of games etc. don't think she wants me to move out again truth be told.

>>5889832
>And also being able to buy your shit
Allowance, food money, etc.

>and not having to deal with your family

They don't bother me. Even if my mother acts awkward, she's not really bitching at me or anything. She knows how to take it easy, even if she's a bit worried about me. She doesn't try to force me into stuff or get aggressive
.
>and having peace of mind, because your parents aren't living forever.
My mother had me at 14 years old, the age gap between us is too small to worry about this. If she were to die tomorrow, I'd probably just kill myself as well or something.

>Deal with it, sooner or later you will have to work.

I really can't see this happening. I'm 23, by the way. I say this because I know the first counter argument from you will be about me being a kid. Though, I guess my way of thinking is pretty immature.

>If she were to die tomorrow, I'd probably just kill myself as well or something.

>>5889738
What do they say about the Miku figures? Mom have any good comments to give?

>>5889888
We live such unhealthy lifestyles that most of us will be dead by 40 anyway.

My parents still think I have a shot at being normal in terms of a social life. Although I am academically successful, it's in an area that involves no human contact (computer science), and I have my life planned out- none of it involves others. I do not see a future where I am living with another person, male or female. I will not get a girlfriend in university. I will not get a boyfriend in university (they have speculation that I'm gay but I'm not. It's the usual likeness for traps and crossdressing...).

I will be completely alone despite my success and this is something my parents do not recognize. I don't know if I seem normal to them but to everyone else it is apparent. It will be a slow, downward spiral until they give up hope. I won't be a part of that though, I've moved on and will make the best of my lifestyle.

You could always pretend to be a photographer.

>>5889949
>who love you more unconditionally than any other human ever will.
not all parents do tht

No. Because I am not a shut-in.
I don't have anime shit plastered on my walls. I keep all of my purchased anime related things in crates at the back of my closet.
I bet it's awkward for you fags. You deserve it.

>>5889949

I care about their feelings to the extent that they'll let me do what I wish. The happenstance that I was born into this family does not dictate a sort of subordinance although I am not ungrateful.

What I'm saying is I'll show up for Christmas dinner.

>>5889959
I acknowledge that this is sadly true, but I took it as implied from the post I was replying to.

For the other kind of parents, that sucks very badly, fuck them, move on.

>>5889961
Why even bother buying them if you're not going to display them? It must suck having to hide your interests.

No, I'm pretty much a normalfag on the outside. I only read/play/watch weeaboo shit late at night on my computer with the door locked.

>>5889982
I'm not saying people have to wear Naruto headbands or something, but you shouldn't be ashamed of displaying figures in your room. If people think less of you for it, then their opinion is worthless to begin with.

You will never have grandchildren.

As much as I'd love to believe you...

Okay, I'll bite. What do they think about you then?

I make more money than my mother does

When she comes into my room awkwardly it is because she needs money

Like my mom would ever come down to my dark, dank, hovel called the basement.

Its like a dungeon, and I like it that way.

>>5889996
Parents? They were disappointed but still loving. I haven't lived at home for years though. Sorry I know that's a sin on /jp/

>>5890006
Well who the fuck cooks for you and cleans your laundry?

>>5890006
My father would be far more than merely 'disappointed' if he found out.

My mom knows, though we don't talk about it, not that I see her very often anymore anyway.

>>5890015
Not that guy, but I buy my own laundry soap because I don't like the stuff my parents buy. I love the smell of lavender and they hate it.

I also cook better than my mother.

>>5890024
oh yeah?
No worries. What's he going to do, murder you?

I have a pretty normal relationship with my mom, mainly due to the fact I keep her away from my room. She always knew I liked anime, hell, she bought most of the DVD's and manga I own when I still lived with her. I think at this point she thinks I don't go outside because I play video games all day, which isn't far off. I have a job and live on my own now. I laugh to myself that people at work think I'm enigmatic because I don't share about myself. If they only knew...

No matter how late I stay up, my mom wakes me up at 11. Why? Because real people don't sleep until noon.

>>5890046
I feel it would crush him emotionally. My dad has enough problems already without worrying that his son wants to be a girl.

>My face when you are all dirty neckbeard losers who live with their parents

It pains me to realize Moot was once like this too. :(

>>5890078
That's good of you then.

>>5890088
Sup, Moot.

I'm a 29 year old virgin and I've never had a job or girlfriend. Of course they do.

>>5890088
Why does that pain you

No, she just asks when I'm going to get a job, if I ever think about going back to finish school, and why I spend all my money on dresses and dolls, then asks if I'm gay.

>>5890015
I do it.
ALL OF IT

My parents and I never discuss my hobbies. They never enter my room, they can't enter my room. If they knew what went on within this room...they would probably kill themselves.

>>5890121

And why do I keep buying them..

sorry /jp/ but ia have a normal life (job, gurl, friends)
ops, but im here!
forget it...

my mom is my only friend
she doesn't really act awkward around me or anything.
she always tells me "you need to get some pussy" and i should be taking it like it's a buffet before i get older
one time she also called my figures sluts ; ;

>"Look at this one, she's dressed like a witch."

hnnnnnnnnnggggggggggg, my heart.

I just talk to my mother about normal stuff, she pretty much knows I don't really care about finding a real life partner. I also keep my hobbies a secret from her, I've done that since I was about 15, since my parents always used to make fun of or interfere with my hobbies.

Well, my mother really really hates my figs, I have to hide them or she will get super mad (she actually hits me). I love her anyways, she bought them for me as a present in the first place after all.
She is usually not at home because of her work, so if I'm careful I can take them out when she's not around and no one will notice (I don't have a father and I'm an only child).

>>5890260
>I have to hide them or she will get super mad (she actually hits me).
The fuck is her problem?

>>5890276
She was raped by figures when she was a kid.

>>5889888
>My mother had me at 14 years old, the age gap between us is too small to worry about this. If she were to die tomorrow, I'd probably just kill myself as well or something.
Holy shit, you're me. Well, except for the fact that my mom had me at 16 and not 14 but yeah. I think exactly like you.

My mom doesn't annoy me about anything. I know she's probably sad about my lack of social life but she's cool about it and we actually speak together a lot. I would off myself immediately if she died.

>>5890260
>I have to hide them or she will get super mad (she actually hits me)

How in the world did that end up happening?

>>5890305
I would imagine his mother is bipolar.

>>5890276
Well, it's probably my fault, because I don't have any friends. She says I'm creepy because I still "play with toys" all alone at my room at my age.
It's fine. When she gets really angry I know that's not really her, so I just endure it to the best of my ability. I know she actually loves me.

>>5890342

This is really sad...I'm sorry.

Go back to bed Maria.

I recently got a painting from my sister that she made.

It's an NES and the text "BLOW ME". She also happens to be a fujoshi who does fanart.

Parents... they don't really care. My dad buys a certain kind of old LEGOs and recently gave me his old Channel F (A console older than Atari 2600), soooo.....

>>5890415
>It's an NES and the text "BLOW ME".

wity

>>5890319
Don't go around calling names. My mother is perfectly fine, she's a famous clothes designer after all.
Here have a pic of her, you probably knew her already.

I'm too poor to afford any physical merchandise and I live by myself.

The whole shitty forced meme attempt aside, that seriously reminds me of how people talk to autistics. Just cautiously approaching and making shallow comments about what they're doing, even though they can't bring themselves to try understanding where the hell the obsession comes from.

That's how I feel when my mom drinks.

Sorry to be late to the party, but my parents know about my habitual crossdressing and possible interest in becoming the little girl. My mother's fine with it, but my father supposedly thinks that it means that he raised me incorrectly.

Stuff like that must be difficult for parents, I guess.

My father thinks my figures are collector's items that will appreciate in value like baseball cards and beanie babies (...)
Seriously.

One time he watched me unbox a figure I had just received. Just watched without saying a word. That ranks as one of the most awkward and shameful moments in my life.

>>5890490
It's the NES asking, buddy.

>>5890547

Habitual is the wrong word, but I don't know what else to put there. Sporadic? Whatever.

>>5890547
How would you feel if your son turned out to be a sissy?

>>5890568
I've always wanted a girl, so I'd be fine with it.

My parents are actually fairly cool with my hobby of choice as long as i keep my grades up in university, even to the point where my parents have picked out a couple figurines (with help from my friends) and given them as a present

and i don't find it humiliating at all

>>5890578
Say your first born was a girl. Now what?

As indifferent as they are, I know for a fact my parents still secretly hope that I'll get a normal life, get married and have kids. A lot of parents tend to tolerate these behaviors because they believe that it's just a "phase", and they're usually right. My sister was a social-butterfly-party-goer, now she's married and has two kids. Doesn't help my case any since they now think I'll pull the same 180.

Either way, I appreciate their tolerance. Probably the only irksome thing about their hopes is that my mother firmly believes I can get/want a girlfriend. Like, despite my looks and hobbies, there's a girl who would be attracted to me. It's kind of uncomfortable for a mother to have such desperate hopes, regardless of their good intention. I mean, she says that when she herself HATES my Figures. Dunno why, I just find that pretty humorous.

you like how all the people saying they are traps are in reality fat pathetic neckbeards. if me cannot be mistaken for a girl me are not a trap, and all of me are too ugly to be mistaken for a girl.

>>5890595
No one said they were traps. Traps = passing, which I doubt most of us can do.

>>5890588
Accept whatever he does because he is my son?

>>5890611
You are either a very accepting person or incredibly naive.

>>5890617
If doing something makes someone happy and does not harm anyone directly I see no point in disapproving.

>>5890624
You can only say that because you yourself crossdress.

>>5890631
Yes, but you can see where I am coming from. If an action pleases the individual and does not cause direct and obvious harm to themselves or society then there really isn't any reason to disapprove.

>>5890636
Yes, and I believe that too. But you're obviously biased. Try putting yourself in your father's shoes sometime.

>>5890624

I imagine fathers want their sons to be like them in some ways. If a father raises his son to be a good man and he turns out to be abnormal or bizarre, it would probably hurt him a bit. It might feel like a failure on his part or a betrayal on yours. That's just my speculation, though.

>used to collect figures
>father goes on about how i'm not his real son and how he's disappointed and hates me
>quit
>he makes me burn my figures
>it's like burning 500$
>my face

>>5890646
I suppose that is a fair enough point. People are free to hold their own beliefs, I suppose. Most likely he is more disappointed that I am not very talented at anything repsectable than anything else, and this is just adding insult to injury. I'm well aware that he wanted a son who he could talk about stuff with, but honestly I find someone so masculine difficult to relate to.

One would assume that he thinks it is somehow his fault. Maybe I should show an interest in something he enjoys in order to allow myself to relate to him better after all these years. Thank you for somehow allowing me to make this clear to myself, Anon.

I would just rather not see families torn apart for what is, in my opinion, an arbitrary choice in clothing. Some things are better left unsaid. I'm >>5890024 btw.

The rest was invested in onaholes. Believe it.

>>5890679
If they already know I might as well attempt to have a better relationship with my family. I'm already quite close with my mother, and when she isn't playing Facebook games she'll play some console game or another or watch a movie with me, but I think it would be good to somehow allow my father to relate somehow.

I honestly thought he'd be more angry than he is, but all of my clothes are still in one place. I just want him to be proud of me, I guess.

My mom buys me anime stuff. I distinctly remember getting a Full Metal Panic wallscroll from my mother on my birthday a few years ago... the one where they're naked in the hot spring... feels good man...

>>5890624
You wouldn't disapprove if you had a feminine looking son who could make a great trap who then decided that he wanted to be a furry and decided to always wear a fursuit and pretend that he was some sort of 3-penised dragon?

>>5890821

Ya know, one of my students told me he was a furry the other day. This was after I brought up Spice and Wolf. Now I know why he likes Star Fox so much.

>>5889613
You ARE strange. Accept it, create your own "unique" way to walk from point A to point B while constantly repeating "Haters gonna hate." and move on.

My mom is like that and I'm not a hardcore otaku, however you'd refer to it.

I think it's just anxiety. She cares too much what other people think of her. Instead of just letting people judge her naturally she tries really hard to make sure that people know x, y and z about her etc. Like if you didn't care that your son had figures you wouldn't necessarily go around and say "that's cute", you'd probably just ignore them for the most part. So it's like she's trying to tell you "I find this cool" and make sure she knows that you know that she thinks that. I have a couple friends like that too... like one will hear, and you can tell he hears you, but he'll be like "hu? what?" like he's trying to convey "I was soooooo absorbed in this book that I didn't hear *anything* it's so freakin awesome I love this book blah blah blah what is it you said?"

My parents used to change the poses of my figures and even commented on how "cute" they are regardless if it were an erotic figure or not.

That has ended since I am living alone and surviving with a full time job.

I'm living with my parents as a way of saving money to study abroad next year. Plus I have a primary hobby of keeping exotic animals which ties you down significantly. No apartment management would approve of my soon-to-be 150+ pound Reticulated Python, Marisa.

I keep this hobby pretty low key though. Only a few people know how far it goes. I wouldn't be against finding a female with similar interests, but my standards are a bit unrealistic. So, I'm studying bioengineering, soon to start an internship with a focus on neural interfacing. Long term, I would want to design a brain-computer interface to communicate with AIs, so we could all acquire the perfect companion. But that's almost as unrealistic as my standards. I'll most likely be making cyborg monkeys for the next 10+ years while I struggle to get a PhD.

My science aspirations gain my parents' approval of most anything I do, so I can get by with many, many things without too much criticism.

>>5890911
How is bioengineering? It sounds like one of those things that everyone thinks would be fun to study, but that in reality sucks and is really boring.

>>5890924

I'm actually a Molecular Biology/Biotech major, but easing my way into bioengineering with that internship and relevant classes. It's tedious and CHEMISTRY CHEMISTRY CHEMISTRY. Lower division especially. Once you have the chemistry and math background from the shit classes, you can go on to better things.

I would love to trip balls on that bed.

My mother comes into my room sometimes, too, especially if Im sleeping at a really late time (when she is already home). Its not really awkward, just annoying since I am really not ready for talking to someone right after waking up (I am likely to not even remember the discussion afterwards). It kind of embarrasses me when she sometimes takes empty cups, plates, etc away from my room but I wont say anything bad about that to her since that wouldnt be too nice to her.

>>5890951
Ah, a kindred soul. Odd, never really thought "hard" chemistry played a big part, it's just PCR all the time over here and you have kits for pretty much anything nowadays.

meh, i only have one figurine, two small figs and a marisa plushie, my parents never saw them, that's weird because i never hide them

I don't have any weeashit decorations in my room. I try my best to seem like a normalfag in the real world. I act like I don't even know what anime, manga, and eroge is, because only normalfags are successful, or at least people that act like them.

What do I win?

Also, my parents are sort of disappointed in me, despite me doing well in college and moving out at age 19 and all. I mean, sure, some people move out sooner, but then again, most people also don't get full scholarships and 100% accuracy on all their exams.

Being born as a mediocre, socially awkward person in a very successful family is somewhat stressful. Knowing that I'll never even make a fraction of the money my dad does (300+k/year), get my master's from Harvard, run marathons like he did, and other shit like that, is rather depressing.

>>5890552
From what I've seen the figures ARE worth more over time. As they become more rare since they usually only make a limited number of them.

Is that Melonpans old room?

My dad and me are both otaku. My mom doesn't mind our hobby and is interested in some anime sometimes. I'm grateful I don't have shitty non-understanding parents like most people.

At least you are not a nigger living on welfare.

I don't live with my parents.

No one knows about my hobbies.

Must sucks to still be one of those people that care about what others think about them

>>5889912

FUCKING WALLPAPER GOD DAMN

Anyway, on topic...let's see. I don't have a horrible story like the rest of you, I'm the adopted son of parents who could very well pass to be my grandparents. My dad is smart and has been through one failed marriage with two fuckups for kids (nice guys, though; I've met them and they're old enough to be my father) and my mom comes from a family of...well, stupid Irish workers. My dad doesn't care what I do or what I spend my money on so long as I manage to keep my scholarships and don't do anything stupid, and my mom's about as smart as a bag of rocks and figures it would be best for me to sacrifice my education for the sake of a low-paying job. She also disagrees with my hobbies and tries to get me to do 'normal' things, so much so to the point that upon my return trip to Japan I was putting out all the figs and stuff I bought and she was about to criticize me so I pretty much told her "You don't get it, stop trying to and stop trying to think I'm normal." Despite this, I'm still responsible and intelligent and have imposed a self-debt of 5 grand to pay back at least some of the expenses of my trip. She may be an idiot, but she's a generous idiot and I feel I owe something.

What type of CS jobs should I look for that require little to no contact with people.

As much as you guys claim going independent is good, having to interact with strangers is the worst thing imaginable. I was an electrician for a few years. Having to make small talk with random people still hunts me today. The money wasn't worth it.

I suggest getting over it. I'm 20 and every job I've ever had has been in retail so far, so I'm used to random interaction. Then again, I had to learn how to be pleasant really fast if I wanted to earn some of the shit I've done by now.

>but then again, most people also don't get full scholarships and 100% accuracy on all their exams.
>I'll never even make a fraction of the money my dad does (300+k/year),
>get my master's from Harvard,
>run marathons like he did

It sounds as if you were born to the Master Race. No elites allowed on /jp/. Go discuss the intricacies of the ivy league you elitist, upperclass prick. You have to have at least two disorders to browse /jp/.

I was the first person in my lineage to go to college. My mother lives off the government. My father committed suicide when I was 12. The only thing they've given me is their inferior intellect and a cocktail of mental/physical disorders which includes (but is not limited to) acne, arthritis, schizophrenia, bipolar, autism, and some type of asocial disorder. If only I was jesting. I'm probably the only person in my family that only has two of the aforementioned disorders. Yet according to our capitalist society, everything is fair.

But then I would be considered a masochist, no?

my family thought it was very weird when i first started to listen to j-rock. my new friends here have said shit but i just say say "if you dont like it you dont have to ride in my car;smoke bowls; play videogames etc with me"
sorry i am very hungover any attempt at actually making this grammatically correct would be pointless.

Maybe I am a bit of a masochist, but I had to work my ass off to get Eagle Scout...not that it means anything anymore. If you have to deal with people, then you create a "public face" to make your life much easier. That's what I did, and I usually have very good relations with my employers even after I lose the job...which is a bitch. I really need to find a job where the place won't shut down as soon as Christmas is over. Every thing I've held was a seasonal temp, but I could find something if I actually tried.

You can still use capitalization even if you are hungover.

I was born into what you might call an "elite" family (though it's far from elite -- tons of alcoholism, history of cancer and heart disease, abusive parents, etc), but I myself am by no means "elite." It sucks being born into a family that was really successful (though, like I said, not elite), and being the only one that's not going to be ridiculously successful and social and all. At least if I was born in an average family, I wouldn't be so disappointed in myself. But with such high expectations from people, I seem like a failure.

Oh, and you can still have various disorders and issues, regardless of income and background.

Just because I'm not a NEET doesn't mean I'm not a failure in the eyes of society.

You can apparently code Touhou games as well.
