I had friends who were into Avatar in HS and I pretended not to like it because it was a kid's show
>as time went on she learned how to start emotionally manipulating people into watching her shitty cartoons
>first by saying that it was inexorably tied to her and her emotional state
>then when that hook wasn't strong enough tying her """mental illness""" into it so it seems like you hate and abuse retards if you don't mollycoddle her
Cool
>Do you connect with other people over your babby interests?
no and i couldn't care less about it
i hate watching cartoons with people, they either get too into it or dont give a crap
>complaining you're too sober
see that's why you bring drinks so they can't use that excuse and increases the chance for drunk sex.
Hobbies are personal "alone stuff" things, you are not supposed to have people want to participate unless you specifically met for that purpose
Retard
i'll rewatch something short for nostalgia's sake, like scooby-doo episodes for the sake of seeing shaggy make a giant sandwich and hearing the goofy sound effects for a laugh, but im not going to watch entire seasons of kids shows with someone.
>seeing shaggy make a giant sandwich and hearing the goofy sound effects for a laugh
Other people don't exist. Frankly I'm still not convinced Yas Forums isn't just a figment of my imagination. I barely know anyone who plays video games, let alone watches cartoons. But if I could, I would.
so they never explained how this happened?
>I'm way to sober to watch that
That just means he wants you to buy him a drink you retard.
I have plenty of friends who share the same interests as me, mostly Yas Forums, Yas Forums and /tg/ related but some cartoons as well. I wish I could meet a girl tho
All ofy friendships are predicated on me being on the track team. I almost never talk about games, TV shows, anime, etc. with them. I'd like someone IRL to share my interests but I'm not interested in dragginger people over to watch Bakemonogatari or something.
No. I generally don't like sharing my hobbies with other people.
It feels like they're intruding on my personal space.
I don't mind it on anonymous imageboards, but with real people or people that are trying to buddy up to me it just feels gross.
people act like everyone needs to have friendships where you can get everyone together to do the same things and enjoy the same media, but honestly its far, far better to have friendships and connections based on real people you see often from work, sports, school, places you frequent, neighbors, etc.
That way you end up with friends who go on to have interesting but entirely different lives than you, like lawyers, police, craftsmen, writers, etc. and you end up being well-connected in your community, and in-touch with the world around you instead of only making friends with people who play the same video games you play, and ending up only interacting with people on twitter or tumblr or discord, and having nobody to go to when you end up having issues or ambitions in real life
I'm the kind of loser who posts on Yas Forums because he likes talking about comic books and anime and shit like that, but I also begrudgingly do fantasy football and talk about the economy and engage people in conversations about things i really have less interest in, because you end up really fucking lonely if your relationships with other people are 'all or nothing' and nobody wants to hang out with you
A couple of years ago, a friend of mine (I should say upfront, he absolutely doesn't share my interests in media) said to me he likes being friends with me because - I quote - 'we a medium amount of things in common'.
He went on to explain basically what you're saying: connecting with someone over one or few closely related specific interests is nice but isn't good for you. Wouldn't want that be all your friends.
Conversely, having someone who is into all your interests and aspects of life (work, etc) in a thinly spread manner... is basically your mother.
The middle ground is ideal. Weird theory, but I liked it.
I've been watching things like Gargoyles, Mighty Ducks, and the new Duck Tales with my wife, and she watches my old cheesy monster movies with me. It's nice being in a relationship where we can share our goofy fandoms with each other.
authors problem is that they seem to make their entire existence and identity based around the cartoons they absorb. cartoons are cool, funny, interesting, compelling in their own respects, but they shouldnt take over your life.
everything in moderation.
>authors problem is that they seem to make their entire existence and identity based around the cartoons they absorb
This criticism is so stupid. Of course people with interests make that interest their identity and theres not enough time in a day or days in a lifetime to make more than maybe a couple things your identity because there's no time for people to really explore many interests. So it always boils down to music choice, a hobby or two, sexuality, being a soccer mom.
And the alternative is no identity at all. The average person is boring and has no personality. They have no identity because there's nothing for them to make their identity.
I never understood wanting media consumption to be the backbone of my friendships. Usually media is something I consume when I don't have plans, if I'm with my friends I don't want to watch TV with them, I want to go to the bar, or hike, or play minigolf or fucking DO something.
I think you're oversimplifying the concept of identity here. There's a lot more that goes into a person's sense of self than just what interests them at one particular moment in time.
Big brain think right here
No, I don't have any friends
Imagine being a boring ass normie with almost no interests and hobbies and projecting that onto everyone around you
he's right, you're the retard
> she get progressively fatter and uglier
Sad!
>Calling shows you enjoy "special interests"
I've never seen that before, is that normal?
Why girls keep thinking fucking side cuts are a good look I will never understand
Pretty much. Being by yourself is top comfy.
If i learned anything from the Internet,it's that you need to keep anything to yourself. Everything can be used as a weapon against you because every stranger here is a potential voyeurist rat or snitch who just want to add you to it's "cringe compilation"
My job is to help adults who have developmental disabilities and live alone independently so they often are happy with me knowing about this stuff
Most of my friends are more into anime, but they really liked stuff like Rick morty and Bojack horseman, but other stuff is just child media to them
Why would I connect with normal people about my Yas Forums interests? I talk Yas Forums shit on here for a reason dumbass.
I assume it means "flavor of the month."

I wish these comics were more honest about their messages

>Too nervous to contact them.
Backstab culture is absolute cancer.
