Can watamote be used to help people with their social anxiety?
What would help is when you try to imitate a very confident character.
>>139209533
Uh, no. Tomoko also never overcomes her anxiety in the anime.
>>139209533
No you end up relating with the character and feeling shit-er
Does Tomoko ever improve or does she keep getting worse and worse?
>>139210238
Yes she does, but only by a small amount. I wouldn't say she has made new friends, just that she has more people around her that will talk to her and that she will, sometimes, openly engage them in conversation.
Manga has only just picked up on this within the last 20 chapters or so, from the last time I read
>>139209533
No. We would relate with her, see her constantly failing, and proceed to an hero.
>>139209533
Anime is pure suffering, but manga can be at least funny.
>>139210354
And then she leaves school and finds herself in an even worse scenario.
>>139209533
Nothing really helps. But my advice would be, avoid pills like the fucing plauge.
I had anxiety, took fluoxetine/prozac and got to enjoy the wonderous effect of suicidal thoughts.
Fuck pills, and doctors who keep pushing them.
>>139209533
no i don't see why it would, elaborate a bit please.
>>139210238
She's actually got a small clique going, but she's unable to read the mood very well and manages to spill spaghetti anyway.
It's quite a nice change of pace, because tomoko being socially retarded was getting old.
>>139209533
Could evangelion help people with their social anxiety?
>>139213107
shinji just a bitch. it so funny have social anxiety see me laughing gtf out my thread NOW!!!!!
>>139210592
>avoid pills like the fucing plauge.
This.
The pharmaceutical industry will be looked back on in fifty to one hundred years time the way we look back on retarded shit like bloodletting and drilling holes in your skull to drive out demons.
I don't know a single person who has taken pills and hasn't ended up even more depressed, covered in hellish acne or morbidly obese.
>>139213107
Yes.
Because they'll watch Eva, ask why they're wasting their time on that shit and actually leave the house.
>>139210592
>>139213619
I'm not buying it, if pills are so obviously bad how come so many people who dedicated their lives to study psicology or medicine still recomending them?
>>139210592
>mother took me to a doctor as a teenager
>didn't communicate at all with him because social anxiety
>wrote me off as depressed and prescribed pills
>actually became depressed after taking them
>>139213853
I would like to add that I know that the pharmaceutical industry is almost comic book villain evil, but recomending something that will only fuck you up even more sounds like something that would not last long.
>>139213619
Pharmacist here, i can tell that you are a retarded faggot.
>>139213696
you don't understand what like live with social anxiety it not easy.

Helped me get out and get a girlfriend. So yes, yes it does. It's a pretty innovational, and motivational show.
>>139213619
>bloodletting and drilling holes in your skull to drive out demons.
But those actually work.
>>139209533
Maybe in a "Haha, I do that! ...I should really fucking stop doing that." kind of way if you're a bit short in self-awareness.
Shoujo manga helped me.
I just mimicked the male protagonist. The way they confidently speak their mind, and tease people without trying to look edgy or silly.
If anything watamote makes you more depressed realizing how relatable this pathetic character is.
I hope my thread help you understand tomoko and people with social anxiety little more yes have social anxiety.
>>139210592
>I had a bad reaction so nobody should ever seek help!
Those suicidal thoughts were trying to tell you something.
>>139213853
Do some research into who started modern psychology and all will become clear.
>>139214611
Watamote just makes me want to hug Mokocchi and tell her everything is going to be okay.
The closest thing I've heard to anime improving people's lives is guys who got buck because they wanted to be like Gokoo and Vergeta.
