i just don't like everything. i've been fine all my life nice parents nice house (normal house nothing fancy) but i like to spend all my time in my room and watch anime that's literally all i do, i wake up and i put anime i go have dinner and then come back and watch anime. I love anime it enthralls me and make me feel whole, i want to just fade away into an anime of my own. When it comes to anything else i just don't like to show emotion unless i really like it and i don't like new people i have moved around a lot but when i moved from my last house which was a few months back it really started to kick in and i just didn't want to be a part of anything except anime.
I'm not exaggerating, i'm being literal all i do is watch anime nothing else, i get 8-9 hours sleep at best and i just don't so anything.
my routine consists of getting up around 11-12 and putting on anime, then at around 4-5 i have tea (some people say dinner) after that i come up to my room and get into bed and watch anime till around 2 in the morning until i finally go to sleep and repeat. (that's if i'm not at school) oh and i'm 15. but the funny thing is i enjoy not showing emotion to everything, i don't know why but i just do.
Detaching myself from humanity?

Unless you want to keep up with this lifestyle, you're going to need to change your daily routine. No offense, but I think it's silly to spend that much time just watching anime and doing nothing. There is so much you're missing out on. 8-9 hours of sleep is perfect by-the-way, many people live on only 5-6 hours of sleep and even less.
If possible, I suggest looking for a part-time job or take a class and learn a trade, like welding or fabricating or auto repair etc. you can even go to work and earn extra credits instead of being at school the whole day, and if you do it right you could even graduate early. talk to your parents and your school counselor about it.
This is a critical time in your life and you need to use it wisely. Before you know it, you will be 25 years old and still living with your parents doing the same thing you are doing right now. I'm not trying to be harsh I'm just trying to motivate you, try doing something you think you couldn't do.
I didn't know you live in England... Still there could be a student exchange program you could get into you can try talking to your school about it and I can even help you find one online if you want. you could come to America to learn a trade or special skill, so when you come home you could get a decent job. I know the frustrations of not being able to find a job, I've been looking for one for about 3 years.
I know how you feel. I'm 13 and in almost the same situation. My parents say i need to "interact more with civilization". I'm a very unsocial person, and i can see what you are saying. I don't really know what else to say but just know that there are people,like me, in the same situation. I hope i helped. :)
I agree with the people who say not to change who you are. I honestly didn't truly embrace anime until this year (though I have watched it on and off through the years). To me it touches my heart in a way no other form of entertainment does. To me your goal in life should just be to find a significant other who enjoys it like you do. In fact if they don't approve, you probably should look for someone else because anime is that good.
Hi there!
I'm a 24 year old female and I've been where you are at that age. I became interested in anime and manga (well anything Japanese really) around 10 and was totally obsessed with it well into my twenties. I completely understand the fascination with anime and how it makes you feel. I've also shut myself up in my room and watch/read/draw the animated world. Eventually I grew a bit out of it and found other obsessions aside from the fiction world. I agree when people say don't change who you are but I also agree with the others who say its not so healthy. Don't let life pass you by on the computer (well not completely). Introducing new hobbies could be good. I don't like much human interaction as well so it doesn't have to be anything social. Oh I also have a good job that pays well and I'm currently learning to drive. So I turned out well I think. Sorry if this sounds like a lecture but since you've began to question your detachment from humanity, maybe take a step back from the computer? Cut down the hours spent on anime? Read new books? Spend some time with your family? Learn how to cook? Exercise? LOL sounds lame but it worked to helped me feel normal. Hope this helps!! :D
thanks for the advice but theres no where i can get a part time job or anything here i've had a really good look also the whole leave school early thing i don't think that's in England i've honestly never heard of someone before leaving early like that ?
