Hey guys, i'm really interested - how do you deal with sadness? Especially after reading some really tragic or dramatic manga/stories. Sometimes i feel like I'm suffocated by feelings and thoughts over manga/book, etc. I waste so many emotions and time on living through all of this fictional stuff, on constantly mulling over the most sad momentsagain and again in my head. I understand that it's just a story, that characters are fictional and all of this is not real, and I can't change anything of it, it's just the way author tells her story, but it doesn't help me at all. I realize that partly it's because my real life is poor on interesting events, emotions and positive experiences, that's why I focus on fictional stuff that seriously. Yeah, there are friends I meet from time to time but all of them have their own life and their own problems *and they are not really into manga and stuff* >.<" Sometimes when i see the update of the manga that I know is sad and dramatic I want to avoid it even, but I know it's stupid because at the same time I really WANT to read it! So I'm kind of lost here T__T So how to not take everything so closely to heart? Maybe some of you could share their "tips and tricks" on accepting what is happening and moving on. Thank you! *and pardon my poor English, it's not my native language ^^"

15 years old. I'm a student... well like duh.. and I'm Chinese and I was born in Auckland, and lived here my whole life so far :P I guess I'm straight.. reply
I never actually got caught reading it but my parents eventually found out when they overheard me telling one of my internet friends over skype how I've started shipping guys at my school #-.-)
They're surprisingly cool about it! My mom's even bought me a few yaoi mangas since then! It makes me happy to know that they accept my hobby ٩(๑�...... 1 reply
Hahah, well, i'm in my 30s and married and only recently got into yaoi. I straight-up told my husband that "I've been reading a lot of gay manga lately". He's super straight, so he just kinda rolled his eyes. I kinda want to show him the next super graphic manga I read just to see the look on his face... hahaha, I'm cackling just thinking about ...... 2 reply
Yes, I did get caught. By my best friend when she opened up my phone and the site I use was still open, she saw. Also, she's against homosexuality, pretty awkward for us, but we got over it. reply
14 year-old girl, plays soccer and is on the dance team for high school. Was mostly innocent before I discovered the magical thing called yaoi. Only girl out of my friends that reads it, awkwardly hid in the corner when my best friend found out. I love my two dogs, Crybaby and Monstar. I own a pet bird named Cloud 9 and I live in Colorado. I've bee...... 2 reply
At first I was shocked, I stumbled upon it when reading a manga and that's when I came across one. I was curious how they could do that, I was a stupid child when I cost discovered it. But I fell in love the second I read it, thinking it was hot and how wonderful it was. ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄ 1 reply

I'll accept them and support them no matter what I'll be glad they came to me and came out I don't want any of my children being sad or thinking things like their family won't accept them I want them to be happy 2 reply
I would be glad they felt safe to tell me about it and of course I'll be accepting since I'm bi. It would be ironic if I was anything but accepting.
I read some of the comments who would rather their child not feel the need to come out or that they don't care because they would accept their child regardless. To which I agree. But you also gotta r...... reply
I have no doubt that I could get into yuri being I find both genders attractive but I think I lean more towards males. I probably won't read yuri until BL begins to bore me but I don't think that'll happen anytime soon with the size of the selection that's available. Hmm I don't know though, just thinking about all the possible fluffy moments... ma...... 1 reply
Yaoi all the way. I prefer men and I love seeing men on men if you catch my drift ლ(´ڡ`ლ) I have always loved gay romance novels and once I discovered yaoi I was entranced. My whole life is eat, sleep, work, yaoi. Just look at these hotties and tell me you do not want to see them fuck.

'Things' are your daily life experiences by which you get to know the world around you. Tell others about the things you did, may it be cool, sad, crazy or funny. You can also find things that you might want to do and a friend to do it with!
