So addicted to Attack On Titan anime!!!!!

don't worry I listen to the theme tune almost every day! 

ON-TOPIC= ive seen snippets of the anime and mainly ive watched a shortend 10 min cut of the series called- Attack on Titan- Abridged on Youtube, so is a funny voice-over parody of the series, with clips from the show. Was impressed with what i saw.

So ive not seen the actual anime series yet, but i have read the manga (comic-book form of the show).

Loads of cool plot-twists with the characters and the Titans and the universe they live in. The Titans themselves are crazy, creepy things: manic, normal-looking (ie look humanoid), 10ft to 60ft tall monster men and woman that love to eat people for no reason other than to cus they can.

Action is really extreme and of course, the horror and violence is there too, with a strong purpose (not just hack and slash, but a weird level of mindful tastse to it).

OFF-TOPIC= yeah in regards to you saying how your boss asked you about it and once you started getting the idea of the series across he switched off and changed the subject- this happens to me often as well- its cus they ask a vauge question and you think they are interested (and they are, just now that much) and you have to start from the start and work your way through it all. So it becomes a tad bit much for them to handle, information overload (usually people just go, yeah its good with lots of fighting and its like an adult cartoon<< even this can be too much...!!!!)

Drives me mad the way people talk at times- i often find myself thinking "what is the point"- like, they will talk forever about stuff they talked about a million times before, other people, relationships, meals, work, weather...!- but when it comes a something like say a film someone saw at the weekend (something new) it goes exactly like this: "Hey did you see that film- BLah BLah at the cinema?"

"Yeah, it was good/ rubbish."

"Yeah, i though it would be..." OR... "Really, glad i did/ didnt see it then."

An thats it- my god, why not talk about who was in it, what happened (if you want to know the plot details or just a basic story)- something more than it was good/ rubbish. (once though, someone had a go/ got angry at me because i started breaking the film down, and they said to me "God, can you not just watch it and say you like it or you don't- you dont have to anylse every thing do you?!?"- <wasnt very nice.

Ive tried trying something more than "it was good/bad" and the other persons face, its like are away to hyper-ventillate and freak out.

I just dont get it.

So, you are quite happy being asocial/unsocial? I don't think there is anything wrong with being different but most people, even ASD people, get something out of other people. To me, the ultimate game or fantasy is life itself. You can 'play' at making yourself more successful by treating life as a game.

Thanks for the reply and suggestions, i may try this tomorrow, maybe depends on how awkward I feel of saying it to him and how I feel.

and no, I didn't want to talk about this addiction as a problem because by far it isn't, well for NT's it maybe not normal probably but having aspergers, it probably feels very normal to me when I'm additcted to something because it happens mainly with all the different addictions I had in the past it keeps changing, I'm very happy and proud to be addicted to attack on titan at the moment, I had situations before where I couldn't find anything to be addicted or connected to a storyline for my imagination and that made me feel quite lonely and nothing to relate to so yeah... overall being addicted to something makes me feel really attached to it and I feel like that's my best connection and makes me feel less don't know what you call it, hard to describe... probably makes me feel less... lonely... empty like nothing I can relate to in order to detach from other people like at work etc

Although to be honest, as much as I would love someone to talk to about the same interests as me... another part of me don't in a way because I get annoyed they end up talking the same thing as I do then feel like I'm not knowledgeable in the subject as they are because I never can understand or explain things easily... just how my life is and has been and I just like to be different from everyone else and I really like to have a interest they don't know anything about like attack on titan for example, I love to be different and the odd one out so I don't have to relate to other people in general.. I don't know why this is but for some reason, when I meet someone, at first I feel like I really like them and they're awesome but this always happens to when I see them more often and often, there's always something I find that I end up hating about them or get jealous of for some reason. I just don't care about what other people say if it's not anything I'm interested in, I just don't understand it at all no matter how many times they try to explain it, my brain ends up drifting off to my own world to the subject I'm currently interested in, at the moment all the attack on titan storylines and songs are repeating in my head when I need it to :D

Do you want to talk about the addiction as a problem? It sounds as though you have an abnormal interest in this and that your manager was being polite in asking about it. He didn't want an extended monologue and wasn't as interested in it as you are.

If your manager has abnormal interests and he drones on about something that you are not interested in then you could learn to be polite and say "That's nice" and then talk about something uncontentious like the weather or what you did at the weekend.
