Animation Source Forums

Nope not a secret. Nobody really cares, they know I'm a bit of a geek anyways so it doesn't matter, doesn't change the fact that I have a large ammount of friends of all types from Sporty types (or Jocks as you americans say) to other Geeks.

LOL, none of my friends are jocks. Well, one, and we don't really hang out that much anymore. Other than that, they're all geeks. The only thing I talk to them about is video games and anime.

I see it this way, I have quite a small family comparred to others, so I make up for it by having as many friends as possible. I even live with my friends in a seven bedroom flat.

Naaaaah why should it be? :p

Exactly

People only make fun of you about it if they think you're embarrassed about it. If you don't keep it a secret then no one cares.

Honestly, things like this have always been a problem for me. When someone criticizes me, I always stress out over it, thinking I did something wrong, not thinking for a second that the problem might lie with them.

For example, someone will criticize the way I did the dishes, and even though I tried to do it right, I feel embarassed. It never, ever runs through my mind that perhaps the other guy's method is wrong.

Because of this very fact, I can't have my love for Balto out in the open. I'd hate to see what people would say about it. It could ruin my view towards the movie forever.

Well, you just described my life

It all makes no difference now. My computer network got hacked. The hacker looked on my computer while I was on this site.

I got called a "fagoot" (yeah, that's about how well the hacked could spell) and changed my roommate's wallpaper. Now everyone in the household knows that I "look at Balto" (what the hacker called it >_>). He also hijacked my computer during a chat, and typed to everyone in the chat that I go to a Balto forum. (I was never made fun of though. Others in the chat began to discuss the movie, which surprised me.)

I was mortified. Seriously, I couldn't eat or sleep that night.

i voted No because when i was in elemantary every knew i loved balto i was upsessed with it then i said i hated it but i didnt so thats a yes and no i liked my elemantary because there was someone that loved balto as much as me! but now im in highschool i keep it a secret but people know i like dogs.

My parents know that I like Balto. My dad repects that and so does my mom but my brother and step-dad tease me for it, but I dont care. Some kids know I like Balto at my school and some dont care but most think I'm weird because of it but I dont care. I have 4 good friends that respect that and one of them likes it too. Just not as much as i do! I is kinda obsessed with it since i am obsessed with wolves...everyone at my school knows that!

No. I use to hide it because people called me a queer or gay (which is stupid cause they all have seen my girlfriends), but I dont anymore. I no longer care what people think of me. I know myself and nobody can change who I am but me. And I like me.

I'll put yes because most of my friends don't know I love it.

Well posted here earlier that no one knew apart form my parents but they didnt really care/don't know much about it.

However recently gone to Uni and my m8's see me on these forums a lot and other stuff to do with Balto/wolves. They're all sound with it, which is cool apart from one of my m8's who attemptes to take the piss but I dont mind, it's only joking around fun making. However its kinda weird he seems to be obsessed about my obsession, asking questions about it, lookin over my shoulder etc. Dunno if he's really tryin to make fun more or just curious and tryin to hide it
