Thinking about going to this dinner with people who also like anime. I don't know any of them, but they're all in this group that was created a couple of months ago. It's a city-specific group since there aren't any anime-related groups here. Anyway, the dinner is next week but if I want to go I have to say it today so they can make the reservation.
I'm getting cold feet though, I want to go but I'm afraid it'll be terrible. I haven't been around people with the same interests as me since I was 11, I don't know how I will act around them. I will also have to sort of lie to my mum, she'll ask me where I'm going and I'll tell her I'm having dinner with some university friends. No one knows I like anime and if I told anyone I'd be seen as the manchild who likes to watch children cartoons.
I know watching children cartoons is fine, but that's only if you're socially successful and a good looking guy or girl. Besides, I have this old classmate who everyone knows watches anime, and all of my friends make fun of her. I mean, she does exaggerates with the whole cosplay and "kawaii xD" stuff but if I tell people I like anime, I'll be associated to people like her.
Blown. Away. I don't feel I deserve it at all. I was so exhausted and I barely remember what I even wrote.
