hmm me and my best friend are the only ppl in my school that really really watch anime all the time.. thats y we arent popular. my family makes fun of me too. but then i just go watch more.. i cant get enough.. im an anime addict and i wont let anyone stop me from loving it... who cares what everyine else tihnks? they just dont know what theyre missing!
yeah, im popular in school, but l love anime. of couse, only my best friends know! =3
hiding it makes it worse. im kinda popular (really dont want to be "most popular") and a lot of my friends are really popular, and they all love anime. many of them have worn anime t-shirts to school, dances, parties and everything. as long as you do other things, are not obsessed, find time for everything and everyone else as well as anime, and keep it out in the open, people generally dont care unless they are unbelievably shallow and/or snobby
between me and my friends we have funniest, best looking, most athletic, and the entire student council
Popularity is nothing but a label that distinguishes us from those who think they're better than us because of status, looks, and who they're sleeping with. Most pretty girls are superficial and base things on looks, not personality which is why theyre all friends with each other, and when yuou only go after them, you're being like them. find someone with more common interests instead, not a "nerd" but someone who's not all high in stats, but not at the bottom, find a median, like someone who is pretty, yet smart. im sure youll find the right girl while keeping your anime, you just havent found the right one yet, and as for your family, im sure they got their dorky pleasures too.
i'm popular in school, and i watch tons of anime. i mean i love not just the ones that come out on t.v and stuff, because i search for them. neways, i think you do need to suck it up (no offense) but once they see that you are comfortable with anime, then they'll eventually stop being such big jerks, maybe they won't full stop, but it'll cool down. plus of you point out other things like yea, "well i didn't see you going out with so and so." or like, i watch anime, and (if you're good at sports) i can still beat your *** a football. i know that sounds kinda lame...they were just examples. and watching anime doesn't make you a ******* nerd. reading books, making top grades, not being able to score with some chick makes you a nerd and never wanting to do fn stuff because you think that you are going to get in trouble, makes you a nerd.
If popularity means having lots of friends, I guess I was popular. I was pretty all over the place with friends though and there was a handful of friends I talked to about anime and manga with and the rest, I didn't really say anything to because I knew they wouldn't be into it.
I'd like to say that popularity doesn't matter, but it does. Being liked by people is something everyone, whether they deny it or not, wants. Going along with what your girlfriend did, you know what, if she can't accept it as a part of you, I have to assume she only dated you because she thought you were popular and it would make her popular too. As for your brother and dad, tell them that not all anime is Pokemon and that as your family, they shouldn't be judging you like that. I know it's not something you can say everyday, but you need to set that out and get this straight.
It's daunting to know that people think you're a loser or that they might not like you. But if you hide that and make it a secret, then it'll just become fuel for them to mock. People are continuously looking for weakness in someone they want to tear down and if you treat your love for anime as something you're sared to admit or you're embarrassed about, you're just giving them ammunition.
Don't think you have to tell everyone you love anime. You don't. It's none of anyone's business to know everything about you and your life and this could be considered one of them. And when you tell them, don't start is as something along the lines of, "Well...you know...the thing is...I really like anime..." DON'T MAKE IT SOUND LIKE YOU'RE CONFESSING LOVE TO THEM. Be confident when you tell them. You could do it subtly, "Sorry, I can't stay today, I have some anime I've been looking forward to see." or something. It doesn't have to be put out in neon/strobe lights and held over your head.
I noticed you said, "I can't help it..." Don't try to help it. Don't try to make people understand you. Don't try to change things about you in order to gain their approval. The only approval you need in this world is yours, your employer's, your parents' (for certain things), and the college you're applying to.
You'll find someone who shares that same kind of love along with you sometime sooner or later. It's just not now. So don't try to find it yourself or turn them into people who approve.
Note: You're very stereotypical. You assume you're popular because you're good-looking and have dated the "hottest chicks." What does being all-American matter? Is it bad to be called all-Japanese? If you're American, I assume you're banned from enjoying anime. Well, that's new. To be frank, your type of thinking is one I hate the most. Besides the hottest girls you dated, were all of the other girls ugly? Because YOU were the best-looking, were the other guys ugly? Did it give you license to hold your head up that much higher and wear a badge that says you're popular?
If you have to change anything, change your train of thought.
yes i know alot of people that are popular but wont admit they like anime because they think everybody will call them a nerd,
but i dont think that if you tell sombody that you like anime you should say the actuall word anime because in my school if you say the word anime you istantly become a freak who watchs cartoon porn.
