Here's some of the stuff I drew in boot camp

Hello everyone, well after a short hiatus our lovely AF Anime Database has reopened! This time with some new features. We will still have all of our members reviews there, and hope that you will continue to seek out your favorites there to give your ratings and reviews. Thanks to our new features your most recent reviews will also be available for viewing on your personal profiles. Additionally, you will now find that we are enhancing our features using AniDB, allowing us to add our favorite characters to our profiles as well as showing which other AF members share that same character. The process of adding your favorite characters is done by accessing the anime page tab here and then simply finding your favorite character in the main/ secondary fields and clicking "add to favorites". While our anime database is still being added to, these updates have allowed for a much more accurate and up to date account of the animes listed. As well as a more streamlined process. So bear with us, @awesomedude20 our Anime Curator will be working diligently to add in the anime titles that are missing. And any requests for specific anime titles you would like to see added for the sake of reviewing or adding favorites should be brought up in his pinned anime database request thread here I hope you all enjoy the new features, let us know what you think here, or in the feedback forum. ~Your Community Manager

My favorite breakfast consists of much more than what I was able to cook today, but I did enjoy my breakfast anyway. I started the day off with dorayaki and green milk tea. Then I made some sausage and toast to round it off later.

Thank you for your response. Being a young teenager has its perks of, social anxiety, stress all of that fun stuff. If someone comes to my house that i don't know, instead of going upstairs/downstairs for food when i get hungry I'd rather be hungry than to talk to people and have a conversation. With that being said, I've tried a therapy type thing. And i absolutely hated it. I try to avoid talking to my friends about it because they'll probably make fun of me somehow or tease me about it, which that'll get to me very easily. Only one friend I might talk to but i try not to. I feel more safe talking to people online as it's easier to ignore them if something does arise, and i feel more comfortable with it, unsure why i do but i just do. Also you made it seem like it's a forum that you have to fill out, just send me a friend request. There is no requirement.

Hello there and welcome. I had a similar experience to yours (though not as extreme) when I watched Neon Genesis Evangelion (I really don't recommend this show if you're having a tough time with your mental health. It is possibly the most traumatic thing I have or will ever watch and it's not something to watch in the wrong state of mind). It was actually the show that got me into the anime and it sent me into a serious existential crisis and depression for about a month. I almost failed my work experience module at university because of it and it seriously changed my outlook on life. Mine was more a sudden realisation of nihilism - which wasn't nice, and would've been quite disturbing if I didn't find these sorts of things fascinating. Nevertheless, I did eventually get through it. It sounds to me like your depression is connected to an immediate loneliness, mainly from the fact you say that getting attached to characters and wanting an "anime relationship" are primary contributing factors. Believe me, I understand this all too well. It was something I experienced a lot when I was your age (I'm nearly 22 now) as a below-average looking, socially anxious teenager. I remember always wanting to have a relationship similar to characters from my favorite shows, anime or otherwise. It caused me to take actions in pursuit of that goal which were totally unrealistic. This is stating the obvious somewhat, bjt imagine if Tsundere's, for example, really existed - it would go very differently to how it does in anime. I'd like to say that it's easy to break out of, but it isn't. All I can say is what helps/helped me - focusing on that which I had in the present, not placing too much importance on the perceived NEED of a relationship (especially one similar to that shown in anime), but also a general acceptance of myself for who I am. Hope this may help you a little bit. If you want to discuss further please send me a PM. My name is Michael

Speaking of stupid computer tricks. I have this game, KSP, that I play. A lot. For most of the time while playing the game you're in a third-person, 3d mode. While in this mode, the 3D view is pointed at your space ship, and you can rotate around your ship to see different views/angles by moving the mouse while holding down the right mouse button. This is quite common in these sorts of games, so if you play other 3d, 3rd-person game then you are probably familiar with the concept. The/my problem comes whenever I see a screenshot of the game. Maybe I'll be in some online forum looking at someone else's screenshot, or I'll be scrolling through my own collection of screenshots from my own game(s). Every time I view a screenshot of the game I do the mouse click/drag thing to try to rotate the view, just like I would if I were in the game. Every. Single. Time. But of course it doesn't move like in the game because it is just a screenshot, and screenshots don't rotate. WHY DO I DO THIS?

I'm so dumb...I was trying to see if my computers brightness was making my avatar bright and instead was clicking my volume button and my dumb butt was agreeing that it was getting darker. That's enough internet for today...
