/jp/ - Otaku Culture

I wanted to be a keion and learn music but my parents wouldn't get me lessons or an instrument and that hurt me when I was young because I wanted to make music but they declared me a dumb right off the bat and so here I am.

>What caused you to become an otaku

I watched cartoons when i was small

:3

I personally sought no way to take up responsibility. Even though I'm an adult and am to the point of thinking for myself, realizing the negative and positive influences on my like I decide not to give a fuck because maturity isn't important to me.

My mother was actually a good woman. Strict but not overly bitchy, made sure that I never strayed into alcohol or tobacco too much and kept track of how I was doing at the school.

My father never thought I could accomplish anything myself without having him help me all the time. This extended to as far as trying to take over when I was filling tires with air for my bike, as he didn't think I could do it efficiently enough. We didn't interact all that much outside those situations.

As for the community, I was heavily bullied and I had only few friends I could trust. After one of them, a girl, left me literally alone in the dancefloor at the school ball while telling me out loud in the middle of people that I was a total fuckup, I kind just broke. I've had heavy trust issues since then, and all of my friends severed all ties after I moved to another city because of studies. This did nothing to help.

Now I'm pretty much alone. I take good care of myself, I don't look that bad, I'm healthy and I do well in social situations (when I have to act with people in school or in a bank, for example). I can act completely normal and nice, I just don't enjoy or trust people anymore. I mainly spend my time walking outside alone, painting or in the internet. Sometimes I miss all the people, but then I remember what they did and I feel like an emotionless machine again.

I don't really know if there's something wrong with me.

I think they made the right choice

I was introduced to anime at a young age by siblings in the 90's. I have loving and supportive parents. I was very social up until I finished college and ended up working in IT. Found otaku tendencies in my late 20's. it's how I destress from work and life in general. Luckily my gf shares my hobbies but to a different degree than me.

It was either this, a monastery, or prison. Seems like the obvious choice.

I just enjoy escapsim

I was bored, then I downloaded EoSD

Is this the new feels thread?

Well, I became a wabo when I was like 11 and I turned my back on it when I was 13. Now I'm 18, and I've come back to it, because I needed some way to fill my time, and the love was still there.

I was raised by my mother, but when I was 13, my step father came into the picture, and he's great, and a Marine.

I had a lot of 'friends', but those friendships stopped when school ended. I've only even had one close friend, and I kept up with all those other friends, sort of.

I'm basically totally alone, and it's fine. I figure being a weeb is good, for now.

Perhaps he should have taken that opportunity to take a long, hard look at himself so he could not be a fuck-up anymore instead of digging a deeper hole and ending up here

My mom is really nice but too liberal and my dad is an abusive psychopath who now just sits around all day and never works. He's probably going to kill us all one day.

I'm pretty retarded and probably autistic and this is what caused a lot of bullying at school. I still had a few friends though and I had my precious anime and videogames so I got by.

I just have a few trust issues and neurotic behaviours from being bullied but I'm still socially functional but I prefer to spend my time here with you guys. I love you all.

Mmm... escapsim. Sounds delicious.

My dad is an obstinate fuck who didn't pay me much attention, my mom annoys me daily but I love her.

I had friends as a kid, I kind of just let them slip away though. Haven't had a true friend since. I was often made fun of because of my forehead and other issues, other than that I was pretty much ignored for the most part.

I was introduced to video games at an early age by my oldest brother and I just latched onto it and later anime/manga. I'm fine with my situation but I wouldn't be against friends.

I never had friends, girls or sex.

Your dad sounds alpha as fuck.

My father died when I was 13. My mother did her best raising me, my mother's side of the family has a long history of mental disorders and my mother has severe social anxiety. After she had my sister, my father would take care of her so my mother could try and get over her problems to be able to support her children. Currently, me and my mother get along well, she understands what I'm going through and isn't pushing the wrong buttons, she works part-time and I'm on autism bux which I share with my mother and we get by just fine. I hope to get over it and return the favor one day, before it's too late.

My experience in school and such was pretty normal, people assumed I was just very shy and I made quite a few friends and was never bullied.

Thanks for reading my blog.
