What kind of "dere" are you?

[giuls]

This can apply to both genders! (may not agree with subject-pronouns in Japan, just for fun.)

For example:

I believe I am a Kuudere in real life.

May sound cringe, but I don't often speak to people. I act cool and unbothered. Most of the time I just want to go home and be alone in my room. 

Towards love interests,  I quickly can become unattached when they do something I dislike, or make me feel uncomfortable in the slightest way.

Maybe I am something different? Who knows.

Had to do a bit of digging, since the more common ones don’t really seem to suit me. Darudere is probably the closest. Creature of habit. Homebody. Don’t like crowds or noise. Value peace & stability over excitement. Familiarity over spontaneity. Even when I do enjoy a more social/public activity, it usually leaves me feeling tired & need some time at home to recover afterwards. Prefer to spend time with a smaller group I feel a connection with than a crowd of strangers.

Interesting! Do you often feel that way with most more social situations, or some?

“Clubbing” has zero appeal for me. Sporting events are probably more tolerable to me than concerts. I’m more inclined to strike up a conversation with strangers  I cross paths with while running errands than at activities specifically designed to meet new people. I actually miss the days of talking to people looking at similar  movies at the video store or while waiting your turn at the arcade. More of a Netflix & chill or game night at home nowadays.

It’s easier for me to initiate conversations online, but I’m still not much of a social media person (most of my activity is here & on MAL).

I actually do enjoy seeing anime in theaters as a way to at least attempt to interact with fellow fans.

Kuudere I guess known as "Cool-Dere" who appears cold, expressionless, and unapproachable at first glance, but becomes cute, lovey-dovey!

hmm, i guess i could say I'm a kuudere?

kinda like the quiet, competent tsundere who would roast you while fixing your mess in the background. I strive to be really cool-headed and logical in everything that relates with people i know, although i can't really say the same when I'm dealing with my personal emotions

I guess I'm a mix between Kuudere/Dandere. I'm quite reserved with my emotions. Unfortunately, my work entails a lot of customer service...so I've developed and honed a friendly exterior over the years. Then there's also having to maintain a poker face in the midst of craziness.

On the other side of things, I tend to keep to myself. If I don't have to talk to people, I won't. I'm awkward, I feel like I don't bring much to the table in terms of conversation, and I just uneasy. I'm just here to do a job, at the end of the day. But I don't push people away if they interact with me, unless they're either creepy or trying to get with me or what have you.
