You don't have money, you're not attractive, and you have no marketable skills. Your interests have no bearing on how they would interact with you, anyway. You're already trash in their eyes for the lack of the prior three. Liking loli is hardly going to turn things for the worse.

Those don't particularly apply to me. You chose a pretty bad example. Thinking back to the friends I've had throughout my life, yes, telling them I jerk it to cartoon little girls would probably make our friendship a little awkward.

[Anonymous No.]

I think you're cute. OP.
I always say what I think, unless it's small talk with a stranger, and I sometimes do get negative reactions but I don't let it affect me. If they dislike who I am so much then we obviously shouldn't be wasting time interacting in the first place.

[Anonymous No.]

Of course I hide my interests from others. Otherwise I'd be outside with those people.

[Anonymous No.]

Usually. Most of the people I interact with offline on a regular basis obviously have no interest in the shit I do and there's no reason why I would shove it in their faces either. Those who do I occasionally enjoy the casual conversation with so long as they aren't obnoxious weeaboos.

Sure, I obviously talk with normals about Touhous, lolis, VNs and eroges.

I do. Nothing good ever comes out of talking to people about anime or weeaboo shit. I tried telling my mom before about an anime that made me sad and she laughed at me.

[proREMIRIAt Elite Force Commander !rSDMROXTB. No.]

>>10879002
Not extreme, but I've been caught a couple of times. By relatives and by acquaintances.

I don't give a shit about what people I meet on the street think about me, as they come and leave my life and I don't ever have to see them again.

But with people on my workplace it's different. I don't want to be ostracized, because I may need their help eventually, and it's fun to have someone to talk to (even if it's about inane things) while grinding your day away.

Last time I wanted to show them a certain picture in my cellphone, and I forgot that the media player was in the foreground. The first thing that appeared was this cover. Shit.

>N-no!. The audio file was like that when I downloaded it. Just check this classy music, cool, right?. I found it on Youtube by accident but I don't know how to remove this fag image from the file, do you know how?. Etc.

Although, I admit that's a pretty lame excuse and it made me laugh.

I try to hide them but they always find out eventually.

No, but then again I try to act kind of normal. I don't talk about it 24/7, I go to school and work, and I don't have any facial hair or graphic tees.

I have a 2hu wallpaper/lock screen on my phone if it counts. Though it has happened before when I openly talked about fapping to doujins to my normalfag ex-friends. I should've seen it coming though, but whatever they're not exactly winners either (spending money on strippers and only getting laid from hookers).

[Anonymous No.]

>>10877724
I liked that certain person a lot, and that certain person liked me back. Even though neither of us spoke up our minds, it was blatant that we liked each other.
While I had seen that person a number of times, that person had never seen me before. I may have been emotionally attached to that person, but I still was wary of becoming 'real' to that person, yet that person didn't seem to mind it all.
I started avoid that person. I would always make that person wait for minutes, even hours to get a reply. I avoided that person the best I could. After all, I did not want to get myself hurt.
Why can't I be at least a bit less selfish?
I wound up hurting that person really bad.
Since I had been avoiding that person profusely, that person asked me whether that person had done something to me. That was when I disclosed that I liked that person and when that person reciprocated my feelings.
Inconceivable. I could not accept it in the end. How could I? There's no way it would ever become my happy ending. I would just hurt myself once again, I thought.
Accounting all of that to my response, I rejected that person.
I could not conceive that person's opinion. I could not understand it.
Why am I so selfish? Why couldn't I accept that person's judgment?
I hurt that person in order to protect myself, or so I wanted to believe, but I had been hurt all the same.
What am I even doing?
I wish I could ask 'Why can't I accept myself?' but I do know the answer. That person might have ignored all of my reasoning, had I gave that person the chance to.
I can't understand get people at all.

[Anonymous No.]

I hide eroge from people because it takes way too much time to explain what it is without causing misunderstandings (plus porn is one thing you SHOULD keep to yourself and eroge incorporates both hobby and porn). But I don't see any reason to hide video games or anime. Yeah they're lame nerd hobbies but I'm sure people can tell I'm a lame nerd just from looking at me. If you're a decent person and confident in your hobbies no one will care what you're into.

Quick normalfag story time:
I was at a party once and the ratio of girls to guys was like five to one, so even I was surrounded by a group of girls talking to me. One girl asked what my hobbies were so I mentioned them (including anime) and one of the other girls says "ANIMEEE?!" in this snide-ass voice. I tell her "yeah, anime" and turn back to talk to the girl I was originally talking to. No one but that girl gave a fuck. Later one of the girls (the cutest one at the whole party) comes up and starts talking to me, says she used to watch anime, and asks me about what anime I watch. That girl is now my girlfriend.

No, not really. I only really have contact with "others" forcibly, say when I'm in lecture or purchasing food or whatnot. Ironically, I'm actually given more shit by people when I tell them that I know Japanese than anything else, including animu and vidya.

If you're talking about telling people that I like lolis/traps or that I play H-RPGs all the time, then no. Who the fuck would even know what I'm talking about, unless they're into the same shit anyway?

I can't believe how many people think merely letting people know about your hobbies is "shoving it down people's throats". No, it is not! There's a huge difference between just displaying who you are proudly and forcing people to listen to you talk about it. I have met plenty of people constantly talking to me about sports and asking me out to play or watch with them, something I really don't care about. That's more shoving down the throat, and even then I usually react positively to people's enthusiasm and polite attitude.

I can understand if you don't want to bring up visual novels due to the porn, but otherwise there's no need to hide your loves like Touhou! That's something I'm fiercely proud of, why would I not at least bring it up as some thing I like? Almost everyone I've shown it to (including people in the hall passing by) reacted very positively commenting on how insanely awesome my dodging skills were even though I was just playing normal mode and some even looked it up on YouTube and commented on how crazy some replays are.

In the end it's usually who you are that decides how your hobbies are taken, not the other way around. Just be a nice, likable, and open person

[Anonymous No.]

I'm ashamed to tell people I like Touhou because I'm bad at the games.

[Anonymous No.]

It really does not matter. Since everyone I know assumes that I collect figs, live in a basement, watch anime, practice honor code... etc

But in truth I just drink very much alcohol and read or party.

[Anonymous No.]

I've shown people Touhou, Melty Blood, and DoDonPachi.

Unfortunately, they don't have any drive to actually learn the games. In Touhou, they flail around on Easy/Normal, in Melty, they jump around and mash buttons aimlessly, and in DDP, they have save states made for each stage so they can practice it.

I don't think that they're actually practicing the stages though.

[Anonymous No.]

Outside of a few select /jp/-related interests, all of mine are pretty normal. I don't hide anything from anyone and I don't need to, because nobody asks and I'm not going to talk to someone about my interests.

[Anonymous No.]

I never bring up my /jp/-related interests up with others, and if someone asks I tend to answer vaguely or generally. I don't really feel like talking to people about my interests most of the time, especially people I don't know well.

For example, one time after group therapy session, one of the girls tried to start a conversation about anime, asking if anyone else was into it. I just said something like "I might watch some, if there's something interesting running that season" (which is the truth, really). She didn't seem to understand what I meant at all though, so I just left it at that.

I didn't hide my interests once before in public, it was a terrible decision because I then got dragged into the weeaboo group for a semester of school before I finally said fuck off I don't want to watch Ghibi trash or other baby shit.

The stupid fuckers didn't even know about Touhou or Flanfly.

[Anonymous No.]

Not really, but it never comes up because I don't really talk to anyone or have any friends. My family supports it to the extent that they understand that it's something I love, but they don't really understand why; to them, it's just cartoons and games. I've had aunts come over and admire how cute my figures were. The only iffy responses have been to my dakimakura, which isn't even lewd.
