Liking Anime got me bullied?

I was bullied my entire life but there was just something about me that kept me from being like everyone else. Even if you strip away the Japanophilia. And college is awesome. I am pretty popular here, whereas in high school I was just a weird kid no one liked too much. I'm really only popular with other nerdy people, but those are the best people. I know how you feel about anime keeping you sane. That's a big part of it for me too. When I was miserable, I had the anime and manga there to keep me glued together. Hell, I learned more from anime than I did from school, really! I really think I was born with some weird inability to give a crap, so maybe my experience doesn't help much? But these are my two cents anyway.

I had more of a problem with that in middle school, High School there was still some bullying but it wasn't anything too bad, like no physical harm, just a lot of ignorant kids making fun of you for liking something they don't understand. The same people who go nuts over sports and know every player and their stats, make fun of you because you know essentially that same information just on a different end of the spectrum. Not really so different after all, but you like what you like, don't let someone make you feel bad because you enjoy something that's not considered mainstream, they're entitled to their opinion but it doesn't make em right~ College is a lot better tho, since at least you'll be almost guaranteed to find an anime fan group or something :)

I always hid myself in books and was mostly ignored by everyone but the other addballs that came and gathered around me. *shrug* I was never really bullied but with my really low self esteme over my weight and looks I was never happy in school.

At school I was bullied by older boys or the popular group, that playing games or role playing from dbz was dumb and childish. Well I didn't care because I had 4 good friends together so we stood against this bullied and got respected because we could fight back. Sadly at my 2 years left of school my friends left and joined the popular group. I tried to join it but I felt like unnatural and no common with those people and so on my friendship with my good friends drifted away. My best friend from that group started ignoring me. So 2 years I couldn't bring myself to trust or be around people anymore I ended up being invisible. But how I got my life back in track again thats another story!! ☆～（ゝ。∂）

I was bullied a lot in hs for liking anime but I got through it by watching anime also I use to fight a lot so I thought to myself these punches hurt way more than anything they ever said to me besides i won all my fights so that was always a confidence booster but I was mainly concentrated on school so I can get my doctors so good luck in collage

hmmm i wish i could have helped yall ^ i never ever got bullied for liking anime or anything like that, i guess its because of my size, but i also try to be very nice and polite to everyone i meet

Honestly I'm glad i was bullied I'm one of those people that believes everything happens for a reason and if I was not bullied I wouldn't be that chivalris man I am today or the Christian or the otaku

that is true zero, i wouldnt want to change my failures or hardships from my past because thats whate shaped me as a person for who i am today
