So it all started with this tweet:
I wrote this after making up my mind to make friends with said girl, then standing up, and standing still, unable to move for 5 minutes. It felt really awkward.
Later today, I thought "Maybe I should just talk with her using Facebook Messenger. Yeah, that could work... but what do I say?" I thought I should bring up an interest of mine, and see if she catches on.
And what did I think of? Anime. Yeah, I know it was a stupid idea, but I thought, whatever she says, I can say something either way. If she likes anime, good. If she doesn't, I can try getting her into it.
Here comes my cringy chatlog. Prepare yourselves (oh my, I can't believe I'm making myself read it all again so I can translate)...
Note: I've talked with her before, hence the weird start.
I usually check my stuff for typos and bad grammatical choices before posting, but I'm not reading that shit again.
Kill me.
Me: I should try talking to this girl. She looks friendly.

Social anxiety: OR SHOULD YOU?

Me: By the way
Me: Do you watch anime?
Her: Not really
Me: Are you interested? I know a really good beginner's anime that is my favourite to this day.
Her: I have other interests in movies and series
Me: Like?
Her: Series: Teen Wolf
Originally The Walking Dead, but that's become boring, Pretty Little Liars, that's one with killing people. My favourite movies: In Time, all the Caribbean's films, The Great Gatsby, Red Riding Hood, and comedies, like Mamma Mia The Hangover.
Her: And of course, Dunkirk, but only because Harry Styles is in it
Her: And of course, One Direction: This is Us
Her: I mainly like films that make you think, and fantasy a bit sick (smiley's note: no, this is not my English being broken, her message made no sense originally either)
Her: And Johnny Depp films
Her: And a bunch of other series, there are a lot of those I like (smiley's note: interpret this as the Tears of Joy emoji)
Me: Truth is, "anime" only means Japanese cartoon. It has a thousand genres just like other films and series (there's just a different word for it for some reason).
Her: I see
Me: Well, are you interested?
Seen: 18:44
