Honestly, I only discuss anime with other anime people, so it doesn't feel like a lonely hobby.
For example, since I'm dirt poor, I have to go to the library to get some new manga material. And while I'm there, there is usually someone else there, reading manga on the floor, or I can't find the freakin volume I want, which reminds me that I'm not the only person who reads manga.
And Anime cons. Those places are the greatest places on Earth for me. (I have no life.
) They're fun, and I can discuss games and anime with other, living people, and they won't look at me like I'm on something.
Thank god I have friends who actually go to the cons with me though. I'm too shy to go alone. (That just contradicted my entire post, didn't it?
)
