Watching anime was my latest attempt at finding something I can just do offhand and not worry about enjoying myself, but that's not looking like it's going to work. Trying to enjoy myself is very tiring for me and I don't really know what to do anymore. Can you help me /adv/?

Go do something useful aka not videogames or anime faggot

Go work out
>>

I used to work out but I started to hurt in my joints. I read up on how to do it properly beforehand, so I figured I needed a trainer for a little bit and fuck that. Not to mention I don't even like doing it.

I suppose I could go for a quick walk, though. I used to do a lot of things that weren't video games or anime, but I never enjoyed any of it. I just got out of a relationship so that shows something I guess, and am moving continents too so it's not that I'm not making myself busy or something.

Can't you just be a perfectionist in more important matters?

I am a massive weeb and a perfectionist to the point where I learnt Japanese to fluency, moved to Japan permanently and mostly cut off links to my old country, but it bothers me how other otaku obsess over their (aeshtetically-oriented) hobbies to the point of neglecting their appearance/personality/career.

tl;dr I am an otaku too but my perfectionism is directed towards my own flaws as a person.

>programming/web design
>needs to be well structured logic and architecturally

This comes naturally with experience.

>recently got in to watching anime
>want to put effort in to myanimelist ratings and perhaps further later

Real (Japanese) otaku people don't use myanimelist or anything else. You don't need to.

I stopped caring about my own flaws and decided to embrace them. The flaws are a part of who I am, and trying to push them aside is distancing you from yourself. That's my opinion.

My main focus in my life is my career, which is going very well and I could not ask for much better than what it is. My personality is what it is and have cared about my appearance, just not lately.

>>17449149
I guess you're right but it's not my ability that I'm concerned with, I just want to enjoy doing it instead of worrying about performance and modularity and other quality attributes.

I don't use MAL for anybody but myself and I don't associate myself as an otaku or anything. I just do what I want to do, not to sound edgy or anything.

>>17449042
You aren't a perfectionist, you are an autistic weeb.
>>
>>17449179
Okay. What can I do?
>>
>>17449173
Personality and actions seem pretty fluid to me.

I have no ego or attachment to myself. I think I'm going to end up a plastic surgery addict.
>>
>>17449252
I agree, and I don't either. I've been doing what I feel like doing and that has varied a lot this year.
