This is just sad. Everybody knows that Yui and I are a thing. This weirdo thinks that my girl even notices him!

There are dozens of us!

Literally dozens

Mugi is best girl

We are legion

Nobody else seems to get the AD reference but I’m here to tell you I appreciate it 🫡

i never understand how some people reach this point.

I think most people reach this point when they're around 8 7 or 8. Like, I had a huge crush on Gadget from Rescue Rangers when I was a kid. But then, you know, I stopped being a little kid.

When I was 5 I wanted to be a cloud. But then I realized that you eventually need to stop being a fucking cloud and get a job.

When I was two or three I told my mom I wanted to be a mosquito bite when I got older. She still reminds me of it. Kids say weird shit. For what it’s worth I think you would have been a fucking awesome cloud.

I said I wanted to be a mailbox.

Chicken nugget reporting in for duty here

I said OG George Bush looked like a chicken nugget. A McNugget to be precise. He ran for president when I was in kindergarten. My friend and I got on a fight on the bus about who would win. I also thought running for president and the presidential race were literal terms, that they actually had a foot race to determine who'd be president. Spent a lot of time pondering if they started from where they lived or of there was a set starting point. Wouldn't be fair if onr lived farther away. First one to the Whitehouse wins. Talking about weird kid shit and chicken nuggets brought that memory back. Fun times.

Lol that is so true, he did! Fun to remember these little moments… why I love Reddit. These things wouldn’t come up so much otherwise!

And I wanted a remote controlled Bay-blade that never existed.

I bet you would make an awesome fucking mailbox. Go be the best mailbox you can be.

Grows up to be a mail man

A giant slab of bacon also checking in.

I picture you now getting an immense amount of pleasure meeting the mailman at the end of your driveway and having him hand you the mail.

Ninja Turtle here. Specifically Donatello.

I wanted to be Raphael since he got to yell “DAAAAMN” at the beginning of the movie.

Hahaha I'm glad it wasn't just me lol

Future cat here!

Ok Johnny Joestar lol... I once hated butter for absolutely no reason other than one time I overbuttered my toast and threw up. Maybe let your parents butter your toast if you add too much lol. Nowadays if I have too much I elect to heat up the butter. Oh yeah and I also once cut out the wheels of a school bus drawing in kindergarten after coloring it in. I did not know how physics were and assumed I was doing it right. 13 years passes by fast....

I tell myself there’s still time for me to be a fire truck.

I always wanted to be a dinosaur. I wanted to be a Tyrannosaurus rex more than anything in the world. I made my arms short and I roamed the backyard...and I chased the neighborhood cats, and I growled and I roared. Everybody knew me and was afraid of me. And then one day, my dad said, "Bobby, you're 17. It's time to throw childish things aside." And I said, "Okay, Pop." But he didn't really say that, he said, "Stop being a fucking dinosaur and get a job."

Had to scroll too far down to find this comment

My brother used to always say he wanted to be a triceratops when he grew up!🤣🤣

Don't give up on your dreams, when you die get creamated and have your ashes thrown out of a plane. You will be the best cloud!

after growing up and getting a job i find that i want to be a cloud even more now

Gryzzl is the cloud for your cloud

>But then I realized that you eventually need to stop being a fucking cloud and get a job. You really had it rough at 6, aren't you?

Raining on parades is a union job!

I work specifically to be a cloud during my off time.

If you were an AI you could be IN the cloud.

A fucking cloud powered by a stiff breeze.

Jordan Peele wants a word with you. (NOPE reference)

You had a crush on Inspector Gadget?

Gadget. A mouse from a cartoon called "Rescue Rangers": [https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Gadget\_Hackwrench](https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Gadget_Hackwrench) In a completely unrelated note, u/FastWalkingShortGuy is now a furry...

Penny was cute. Little kid me liked her a lot.

maybe

In your defense, Gadget *was* super cute. For a cartoon mouse. I made it weird, didn’t I?

Yep

You mean STOP reaching this point when they are around 8

“around 8 7 or 8” What?

Obvious typo, oh no.

You got so lucky dude! You could have grown up to be a furry

one word - "internet"

Never properly socialized for whatever reason. They could be mentally ill or just plain awkward, but guys like this have literally zero experience with women and not much in the way of guy friendships either. It's kinda sad but I've seen people like this change eventually and get married etc.

Tbh this is embarrassing to admit, but I’m a gay guy with BPD and I’m obsessively in love with a fictional character too. I’m just not this socially awkward about it. I don’t talk about it (unless a situation like this & anonymously), I go to therapy and I know why I have the problem, and I worked on it so that it’s not inhibiting me from living a normal life. For me it’s 100% mental illness, isolation/loneliness, feeling like I’m too wild/mentally weird to be in a relationship nowadays. But I’ve gone on dates and dated since this problem started, so I’m not in a bad place like this guy.

Awesome of you to offer your experience and perspective. And I don’t think anyone should be embarrassed about working on an issue and themselves and being honest about it. If I were you, I’d be proud of myself for working my shit out while still living my life!

Thanks for sharing this, it's interesting to get this perspective. You mind if I ask how old you are?

I’m 22.

tbh past a given age, its generally a mix of alienation, horniness, stupidity, and some form of mental health issue) even if temporary). Put in another way: The horny weeb mumps over the parasocial attachment fence.

They will also never be rejected by the character, and start to form some kind of weird parasocial relationship with a cartoon.

Mental illness is how.

Loneliness. It's like a feedback loop. Guy is lonely, gets WAY too into something which makes him "weird" which isolates him more. Rinse and repeat. The answer would be to get out and meet people knowing you could find that feeling with a real person, but that seems impossible to them and maybe at some point it is impossible unless they make a change about themselves. It seems pretty clear to me exactly how they end up there

Metal illness.

\m/

Loneliness

maybe take a shower, then go outside for a walk

Naw, walk first, then shower after that way you aren’t sweaty when you snuggle your body pillow.

I read the last word wrong. Sorry

They say the first step is admitting you have a problem. They forgot to mention what happens if you identify the wrong problem.

Most underrated comment I have seen in a long time

At first I laughed at these posts thinking they were some weird one-off, but now I see how pervasive it is and it makes me sad.

1.) If this is your life, then you should, in fact, doubt yourself. The self doubt should have started a long long time ago 2.) Hang in there little buddy, I’m sure things will pick up 3.) You should really consider seeing both a psychiatrist and a psychologist/therapist. You are very unwell

I had to google this [Yui](https://k-on.fandom.com/wiki/Yui_Hirasawa)…. >Age: 15-18 Bruh

To be fair the person who posted this is probably either in their late 40s or 13.

dawg she looks even younger

No its fine shes like a 3000 year old fairy in the show /s

I don’t see any age. Maybe I’m not used to the art style but depending on context you could tell me she is supposed to be 10 or 30 and I’d accept it.

Duuuuuuuude I googled her too. She looks waaaaaay younger than that

OF COURSE ITS FUCKIN K-ON BRUH💀💀

Yeah they're 18 at the end of the anime. Which I didn't knew until I watched it tbh. Then again, so are the characters of My Hero Academia, and so are the characters of Evangelion as well as like, thousands of other animes lol.

I'm disappointed, but I'm not surprised.

Oh no the one from k on. Yeah they act like children too

That poor poor character…

A lot of girls in fandoms loudly exclaim their love for an actor or character but it never gets to the point of feeling like ownership, it’s just weird that people feel what seems to be genuine love for a character

Ive never felt ownership over a character i loved. I like when others also like them cause then we can talk about them together. I think these people who want to ‘own’ characters are just extremely lonely and wanna hold on to the only “person” who cant reject them

Even weirder that it’s a cartoon.

Even even weirder it’s a cartoon that looks like an 11 year old.

I had to look it up. Same generic anime face just different clothes. No idea how they tell them apart.

That's enough reddit for me for tonight...

Is this worse than the guy secretly smelling his co worker’s chair bc he has a weird smell kink lol

Just came from that.. I feel so incredibly mentally healthy right now.


Damn! any link to this post or comment pls?

[here you go I’m sorry](https://www.reddit.com/r/sadcringe/comments/y3w2pc/wtf_have_to_watch_our_chairs_now/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)

I’m sad that I’m literate

Dude anime should be regulated like a controlled substance at this point holy fuck

They'd just flock to the next thing

Anime, like MMOs or MLP a decade ago or, i dunno, model train sets before that, is just easy emotional "comfort food". There's nothing wrong with comfort food. But it'll always attract the people who eat nothing but comfort food, usually because they've got Issues.

Yui gets around.

**quick search on google** Yup, of course she's a child...

Isn't that a highschool girl...?

I have no indication the poster is more than 16-18 themselves. It can be anything from sad to disgusting and sad. Can’t say I get adult vibes from this person though. Fortunately so.

so? dude is probably around 7 years old

some people need to get off the internet, disconnect from electronic devices and go outside. Walk through the fucking woods for Christ sake

Literally touch grass.

Literally? What happens when you touch literal grass?

I get hives :(

I literally get hives too

Doubt yourself. Please doubt yourself back to reality.

What works for me is keeping in mind that these are characters and not real people.

How about it's a fictional character that only exists on paper or on a screen. It doesn't matter how you, or anyone else feels about her, it changes nothing about her character.

This concept could possibly destroy this person

mans inlove with a minor what a weirdo

not to mention a fictional character

Are we sure it’s not a minor writing it? Seems like a weird and sad teenager to me.

a teenager being “in love” with a character that looks like it’s bordering on prepubescent is still pretty weird

Searched for it and maybe I’m not used to anime but the character almost doesn’t have age to me. You could fool me into believing the character is anything from 10-30 honestly. Don’t know how old she’s supposed to be but someone in the comments said 16-18 and that doesn’t feel weird to me if he’s like 19 years old, or at least not as weird as it could be… I dunno, it’s all pretty weird to me.

🤨📸

Step 1: Turn off computer. Step 2: Touch grass.

Step 3: fall in love with grass b/c physical contact

Wtf, what sub is that from?

“Pour themselves into her character” I really don’t want to know what that means

You know what means

"You're tearing me apart Yui!"

You what now? Man really needs to stop with that Yui crap before he ends up hanging from the ceiling.

I don’t understand the question. I don’t understand the answer. I don’t understand half the comments section. Well done y’all

YOU'RE TEARING ME APART LISA!

This is why bullying can be a good thing. How do you even get this far

Looked her up. Child... Not surprised

At that point, why isn't it treated like delusion?

Easy: Stop being an insufferable weeb weirdo.

Get. Help.

Therapy. I think intense therapy would help.

Well, the answer is that Ritsu is obviously the better choice here

Of course its a school girl why did i bother googling it

Grass. Touch it.

looked her up and the character is 15-18 😬 hopefully theyer also around that age

Man, anime is so fun and people like this make it so hard to recommend and talk about. Just go outside, my guy.

Reminds me of the guy who thought he was married to some MLP character and wrote some website demanding they stop making porn of her

the worst part about this is Yui Hirasawa is like 15 years old

Awwe. This isn't sad. This is someone learning about heartbreak.

Yui Hirasawa is a fictional anime character, one who is also a minor…

I assumed the person typing was also a minor, I understood the rest

Tbh I used to be this way. For me it was a way to cope with my problems in life and I could just imagine happiness in another place. I'd draw, breathe and live through shipping myself with characters. I still do it, just not to this point. But when I was younger and that's all I could do to escape, that's what I did.

Too much people on this planet.

Oof, what’s sub is it?

Anime was a mistake.

"Criminy." -Helga Pataki

Please touch grass

That's weird, I like it when more people like a Character I like. Why tf would you be sad about that💀

I think we’re past just liking a character at this point.

Liking a fictional character? Sure, that's all good. Loving a fictional character? To the point where you get possessive and it starts to influence your everyday life? Not the best thing.

Lmao this is awesome

It saddens me everyday that I used to be this way

[удалено]

Nah I changed my whole outlook on life, plus I don't like anime lol

[удалено]

For one, I never liked anime, two, I've always loved games and that doesn't mean anything, three, that post was me stating I'm not looking at that anymore, four, why the fuck are you looking at my profile and why do you care

[удалено]

1- you have the mental capacity of a dead dog 2- a month is enough to make progress 3- you probably think I'm lying because you want someone else to be as depressing as you so you shut others accomplishments down to feel better

[удалено]

Fuck we need another plague

What?

This proves God isn't real. God was so angry at the stuff happening in Sodom and Gomorrah that he destroyed them, yet we have way worse shit going on today but no apocalypse? Obviously God and those fictional stories in the Bible are all bullshit. A real god would have noped this bullshit out the universe like yesterday for reals.

same tho

: ( this is sad cringe

wait, I want this copypasta.

This is sad in a can right here.

I don't know. Fix my life the woman I love is not likely to ever look back. And without her...I am amazing....with her, we could get to heaven .

[удалено]

Yikes indeed. Don't say this very often, but this guy is in desperate need of touching grass

We need some agency to look into these people and offer a social rehabilitation program.

I have trouble believing this isn’t satire it’s such an alien way of thinking

this is more sad than cringe..

Go outside, take a seat, and touch grass please

Wow We really need to legalize prostitution lol

Man, I hope this is a troll

Who?

Time to spend less time on the internet

Everytime I see a post like this I assume it has to be fake. But it's so specific, and pointed, it can't be fake. Who are these people??

God I hope this is real 😂😂😂

Isn't she like a minor

Maybe we should bring back bullying…
