Don't let individuals forcing themselves to be perennial cynics prevent you from enjoying your interests. It might be easier said than done, but remember that many on the internet find negative discourse more alluring and thrilling than expressing positive sentiment. It's the sort of angst that more genuine souls shouldn't be too concerned with, lest they get dragged down to their level.

@Archean-Return does anyone take other people's opinions seriously online btw??

@DesuMaiden Eh, it depends. I mean, only if I like their opinion or if they have proof to support their argument. It's like 50/50 since some people have some crazy-ass opinions (in a good way).

Depression is nothing to laught at. You need to safeguard your mental sanity. Best thing you can do easy is to stay away from all the social media traffic that inbalanced your mental state in the first place. Whether you get withdrawal symptoms or not, you need to stay away from it and fully detox yourself.

Since you love anime, just focus on the kind of shows that you really like for now, whether it is CGDCT, SoL, mystery, whatever. Just spend time with your favorite passtime while fully ignoring social media traffic. If you feel the need to express your thoughts about the shows you watch, write a review on MAL. Once you feel better and strong again, you can take these reviews back on the the social media traffic if you're eager to go back to it. If some people leave some nasty comments on your profile because of the reviews you posted, make your profile private so no comments can be left behind there.

If you just want to see some people genuinely loving anime, take a look at my list, it has more then 80 shows I gave a 10. My 10's are because I really enjoyed it & would recommend. I'm not a professional critic and I don't get paid for my opinions or my scores, it's MyAnimeList after all, not OurAnimeList.

I can't do more, the rest is up to you! Good luck! Ganbatte!

@Coaghim does this site count as social media? I dont think so...

@DesuMaiden No, I don't think so either. But I mentioned to put the profile in private in case it might garner negative comments. You never know when the troll army snipes you :D

@Coaghim i dont troll people btw. I hardly write any reviews on MAL btw...

@DesuMaiden I never said you are a troll :D I was talking in general. I don't know if you write reviews, you don't have to if you don't want to either. I don't write reviews either. Neither do I write a journal while some people really love writing a journal, it helps them to clear their thoughts or deal with their emotions. I don't know the guy based on 5 sentences, I'm not clairvoyant :p

@Coaghim well, you can find out about more of my posts by looking up DesuMaiden on a search engine btw...

@DesuMaiden Dayum you're a forum junkie :D Shouldn't you watch some more anime instead? :P Or read some manga? :D

I thought I was gonna find a shitload of drawings you made, you mentioned that earlier somewhere here, no?

@Coaghim well, I watch alot of anime, too. But I tend to limit my exposure to anime because I think it causes brain damage. I especially avoid hentai anime, since it causes severe brain damage.
