>>83258145I have never met a "popular girl" that was this into VNs, eroge and "late 90s-early 00s" anime.
Though the "late 90s-early 00s" anime might have changed recently because it's a trendy "aesthetic" for mid-20s girls now, the rest remain solid no matter what kitschy bullshit women do.I could be wrong however with the whole "put on a face to the world to see" thing, but either way Mercy definitely appeals to shut-ins and weirdos (source: me) in both her personality and her interests. Maybe this is why dating is so hard.
>>83256562She's a girl on the internet my man, don't worry so much about it. Don't put yourself down as much either, you're not as bad as you think. I don't have direct solutions to your comparison problems (meeting people as an adult sucks, "just get money bro" isn't advice
but "go get schooling like a good-paying trade from a nearby community college" is), but you're the only thing holding you down at the end of the day. WAGMI, etc.
I know it's really hard to get out of a slump or feeling like it's over, I was a NEET for years after dropping out of college actively planning to minecraft myself most days, started trade school recently in my mid 20s and I'm finally getting somewhere in my life, both in "friends" and money; it's a long way to go still and it's *really* demoralizing at times, but it's just something you need to do at the end of the day. Indomitable human spirit and all that; there's been a non-zero amount of times I gave myself the Gurren Lagann "believe in the me that believes in you" line to make it through. I believe in you anon.
