hard to make people understand what you do and why really...

best just explain then ignore.....

what's important is you know your not doing anything wrong :p

hmmm ... never done an anime vector before ....

i think hes somewhere in his early 20's (21?); i don't really pay that much attention, and he has a knack for being the most annoying person on the planet

.... at that age ... he should mind his own f^&*^&*#RR$% business

tell me about it, i don't know why he does it really; but i am sure as hell it wasn't a SURPRISE moment because he TOLD me he sat there for 40 minutes with a smile on his face and saying he saw what i was doing.

My only assumption is that hes going to use this incident as an exploit against me, because he normally does that to everyone; normally i hide all possible things he could exploit so i really had him on rails for years, i was basically "perfect" without fault to the guy until i got into anime. Its not just my butt he would stalk, he would go on peoples facebook's to see what they were doing with freinds and if they somehow screwed up here or there he would find that and exploit against that person. It sickened me really, even when me and him were at his best freinds house he went on his friends bit comet to see what he was downloading O_o (i turned away, so i didnt know what was on there) and then told me not to say anything.... i mean really what's up with that?

Oh yeah and remember the other thread? he reminiscenced about that in a huge group i was traveling with right in front of my face, saying that i liked looking at anime girls and things and trying to make me sound like some perverted freak. Some people turned it down, and some laughed, and some just gave me some weird looks after that; i don't know why he said it, but he really ruined my group experience when i was fitting in well with everyone. I was extremely pissed at him and i felt like taking the lamp on my bedside (it was a hotel) and throwing it at him, but if i gave that reaction i would only be proving his fact; so i sat there dismissing the stupid idea.

lol, this is getting a bit too personal but to give my bro some justice; he isn't a bad person, but he has the knack to do this to people and he loves to have the "dirt" on everybody so he can have some kind of "munition" when he gets into an argument with them and to give him a sense of that hes someone who is perfect, without any cracks or nitches anywhere in his character (and that's basically how it is, the only time i caught him doing something bad was when he was looking at hardcore hershey kisses when i popped into the room to go to bed; but seeing that was about 2~3 years ago; its not that valid of a point to bring up against him, and disgusting as it is; its not something out of the ordinary); but you get my drift of how far this sinks in. In either case; I hate this spoon when people use what i like to do against me to make me look bad, it really pisses me off (and the thing is, he only caught me when i was doing a render or a vector of something; which would otherwise deter my attention from my surrounding enviroment).

I probably said this before, but one of your issues is not being a "social leader" and being a little too self conscious.  You worry too much about other people's perception about you and you like to hide certain aspects of yourself (out of worry that it might damage the perception others have of you).  It's a bit of a mental task, and you'll really have to find the optimal solution, but try thinking that others really don't care about you so much.  I imagine you do care a fair bit about what others do, so it might be difficult for you to accept that others may not consider you as so important.
Think of it this way - so what if they think you like watching anime girls?  They'll probably think you have weird tastes, but if you're a good friend, they'll easily overlook it, after all, I doubt they're thinking that you'll do anything "weird" to them, so they have little reason to dislike you on the basis of that.  Don't be ashamed of what you like (note, not suggesting you like it, but if it's the general perception of you, just go along with it - you do enjoy anime don't you?) - there are people out there with much more bizarre preferences than you.

you did indeed say that, but that's not technically the case because this is not some normal retard you might meet at school. Its my brother, and as much as i hate or like him he will always be a resident of my household and a child of my parents. Meaning, that what he perceives of me is very important for a number of things; and that i don't want my parents (who are the people i care about what they think of me) don't believe the spoon my bro will tell them. Having said that, hes always going to be a resident of my house and its nearly impossible to shut your brother out of your life one way or another. I still have very awkard moments like him driving me to school or something and i do not like to sit in any of these situations at all.

As for the social aspect, it did prove to be damaging for what he said; but only to the people who knew a bit or at all, my friends were puzzled by it (because they are also friends of my bro) but they dismissed the idea; but in that sense i did not like being put into such a stupid situation in the first place. Its not really bothering that people know i watch anime, heck if you see my xbox live i play tales of vesperia and other anime related games and when people bring up the topic i get right into it; so it doesn't bother me much that people know i like anime.

love anime :P

and i do know a friend who actually SAYS to people that he watches yuri and ecchi related content; and he has plenty of friends to hang out with.

But you are right zinga, i do have to tone down and heighten my self esteem and discard what people say about myself; sorry that you had to post and say the same thing twice, but it is really reassuring; thanks, i would give you 100+ rep and a hug (manly o'course)

P.S. why aren't you a psychiatrist yet? your really good at this, a big thumbs up :P
