I've been walked in on watching anime two or three times. The only time anyone said anything was when my brother sneaked in my room got behind me and asked me "WHAT are YOU watching???" and I told him to get out. I also caught him watching Yugioh once then gave him shit for it. I wish I hadn't, now I'll never be able to live it down if I get caught again.

I have, and it wasn't a big deal. I just brushed it off as me being curious about it and having a look at some animu. My friends didn't care. Of course, I don't have Dakimakuras and figs and shit, which they might find more objectionable.

It's actually become a running joke with my one friend, when we talk and he asks "what have you been up to?" I respond "you know, same old stuff, beating it to some hentai..."

Liking "otaku culture" stuff isn't on the same level as being a child molester or a heroin addict. It's just a hobby and not something to be ashamed of. I've never had anyone treat me any differently for this. Between adults it definitely doesn't matter.

You gotta have one friend at least, right? Or like you have a friend that you talk to online only? Or a family, or a brother/sister?

You shouldn't feel too bad. Know why?

See all those normalfags out there who're drinking and clubbing and picking up sluts? The ones who cause you to doubt your NEET path - to question whether you would be happier if you threw away your self-respect and became like them?

None of them have friends either.

If all of their "friends" saw their character--their true self under the mask--for what it is, how many of them would like that person for who he or she actually is? For that matter, do you think that any of those normalfags would want friends if they saw the ugliness of the people with whom they surround themselves? (They would. That's because they're stupid.)

Why do you think that the general quality of relationships in this country is so shallow and uninspiring? Why do you think there's a 52% divorce rate?

It's in no small part because of what I've said. So pat yourself on the back and hold your head high; you have spared yourself from the time, money and misery that's spent by the ignorant and non-NEET discover the truth.

Why are you dealing in such extremes like always. You can be a real, authentic person and have one or two friends or even a relationship. Nobody's talking about being a club-hopping guido superstar you nerd.

>If all of their "friends" saw their character--their true self under the mask--for what it is

But that IS their true character. The typical clubbing normalfag is an uninteresting person whose only interests tend to be getting drunk and fucking sluts along with whatever popular activity would help fucking more sluts.

As for me I have forsaken friendships and relationships once I started fapping to guro. Nobody could ever love me for who I am.

Something of a misconception.
Some of the most gangster people I know love their anime. Although, it's mostly Death Noruto bullshit. I am automatically proved superior because I know way more obscure/fucked up/trippy shit and then they invite me over to get high. The end.
