    alright, i know i wasnt exactly staying on the same SUBJEC the whole time, but i guess what im trying to say is that being an anime fan doesnt always mean you're a loner. you can be a loner, and like anime, but those two dont have anything to do with each other. i mean, come on, we cant all be loners if we're arguing with one another about it! *hugs everyone* we should all just love each other! lets not fight over defintions!

    odin, sorry. i didnt see that you said that. i just saw everyone talking bout it and i blew up. ha ha! typical andrea.

    so, anyway. being an anime fan is fun. THERE.

    I know I posted that I know many people who are fans of anime, but I'm a loner by nature. Conversely, my friend who goes by my same first name is one of the most social people you'll ever meet and is a larger and more aggressive anime fans I know (I only download about a gig bi-weekly on average...he probably tops the 4 gig range for fansubs). Me, I can probably count my friends that I rely on and trust on maybe one and a half hands. Well, not including some of you people here...but then again...whatever. :D

    I prefer being with few friends for really good times, than the chaos that will and has ensued with many more than 20 friends/acquaintances about. Not that I'm a fan of chaos, but I'm the kinda guy to prefer hot chocolate and a fire place to a roaring party most times.

    Loner by heart, people, loner by heart! :D

    If this conversation is still going on, I have some stuff to say.
    At school, I only have one friend in my class that likes Anime. There are also two kids in the next grade who like anime too. We spend a lit of time together talking about Anime and stuff, but I prefer that to the stuff that the "popular" kids do like shopping for clothes. I guess Im not that kind of person.

    At camp, there are so many kids who like anime. Yugioh cards were banned so noone would drop them in the lake. People who dont like Anime feel left out, not the other way around. I love camp its so cool.

    Actually, it all depends on the situation. Anyone could be unfriendly if they didnt share intrests with anyone. Its just that anime isnt a widely liked topic. (Notice I said widely liked not widely known. Its widely known and widely hated where I live)

    Like I said, I'm a loner at heart. It's just the way I am.
    I don't have any friends because they either moved away or stabbed me in the back (whichi is rather painful). Still, none of the friends I used to have knew nor liked anime.
    We anime fans; we're special. We're not the normal everyday person. We're different. I like that. I like being sort of another breed of human being. It just get frustrating when no one you know (or used to know in my case) likes anime.
    Sieg Zeon!

    the only reason u people r loners is cause u keep saying **** like "loners by heart" and so forth.
    u know?
    some of u may say "i like being a loner." and so forth, but really, no one like to be alone, do they? no one.
    u can never not enjoy human company. if u say u dont, well, two words BULL ****. no one can be happy being alone.
    thats why old people get dogs. that why kids have plush toys that they sleep with. thats why, even u, Zeon_Zum_Deikun, needs chat. cause, even though that is not, ful-on human contact, it is some kind of human contact.
    u know?
    anime has nothing to do with the way u act, they way u talk. it is you that is making yourself a loner, not ANIME.
    i love anime, but am i a loner? no. i am not. i have friends. lots of them.
    so it is not anime.

    Blood_Pheonix, seriously, I KNOW what I'm talking about if I'm talking about myself. I am a loner at heart, if not, at the very least by nature. Nine times out of ten, I'll be at home reading a good book instead of going out to party till who knows when. I love a party as much as the next guy, but peace and quiet by myself can usually top that. Most of my LIFE I've been alone, if not by circumstance, then by choice. I'm used to it, it's where I'm comfortable, and I know I'm a loner. I have my friends, true, but I AM a loner. Just because I'm sociable, doesn't mean I can't be a loner either. I talk to people well enough, and all of that, but really...I'm far more comfortable just being by myself most times.

    I also know that being alone can take it's toll. And that's when I talk to friends...but...and I say, "BUT", they also know that me being by myself is something I like to do.

    You're a loner at heart. You're not a loner at heart because you like anime! Even if you were born a skip/jock/westerner or wtv and you knew nothing about anime, you would still be a loner! Please don't make generalisations. There are plenty of anime fans here who have many friends and go to many parties or probably even host many social gatherings with people who have never and probably will never watch anime or read manga!

    Us Otakus, we have fun! More fun than most people, unwilling to give it a chance. A lot of people I know think anime is porn or kiddie shows!

    I feel sorry for them, they will never see Duo punch Heero in the face.

    For people who didn't know, since I was so kindly reminded not every knows what an otaku is:

    otaku= fangirl, fanboy

    If you come to school with an anime magazine, Most people say: Hahaha! That's Pokemon! No matter what it actually is. Some people think "anime" is just Pokemon and Digimon and the likes. People like that annoy me.

    I think it has more to do with how much of a part Anime is in your life. If you've made it your entire life, then yes, without other anime fans you will probably be lonely. A painter who's life is art is not likely to have many non-painter friends, a car mechanic.. etc etc. It's all about moderation kiddos ;) The larger an interest is in your life, the harder it is to interact meaningfully with people who do not share it.

    Most of my non-anime friends have gotten sucked into the anime world after a few episodes. ^_^ And those who remain are getting interested.
