How old are you guys?
I am 25 and still reading mangas and also smut yaoi. Sometimes I feel bad about it and even depressed, but I am a little bit unlucky in life and had 2 boyfriends who were just not right or even just assholes and mangas have just a big soothing effect on my life.

    Hang in there buddy. I'm 20 right now and I'm just trying to live one day at a time. I've had ups and downs in my life too. Unexpected debt, abusive boyfriends, but at the same time I had happy moments as well. We always dwell on the sad things in life but why is that? Why can't I be happy? I was stuck in that mindset but I'm trying to look at the positives in life.
    So I make it a goal to write three positive things that happen everyday even if it's something small it's okay because as long as it made me happy/proud.
    Today
    - successfully made a macarons (I'm a terrible Baker so this was quite the accomplishment for me)
    - Successfully made Vietnamese curry
    - Read the new chapter of "One room dog" (It's a story about the daily life a dog owner and their cute fuffy dog)

    19 y.o. been into BL for... Almost half of my life?
    I read smut to relieve myself from stress it's like an addiction now( ;∀;) my day isn't complete if i don't masturbate to BL... I feel like i have to stop doing that but idk how ಥ‿ಥ
    Anyway i don't think being 25 and still reading manga is a bad thing... I'm glad you have manga to brighten your day!

    im 22 and i dont see an end to me reading yaoi or manga anytime soon to be honest, i started collecting yaoi manga as well. i dont think you should ever feel terrible about the things that bring you happiness (unless its disrespecting/harming others). i'm so sorry to hear about your past, you are loved i am sure of it. its hard to get yourself out of the pit, but take small steps and make small goals and you'll be out of it with time. its hard 'cause progress can be extremely hard to see, especially when it comes to emotions and such but your efforts will not go to waste. Keep going, im rooting for ya~ ^^ sending ya losts of positive energy ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶

    Hi I'm 21 and a fudanshi. Maybe you need to spend time treating yourself to something you actually like to do besides reading yaoi and take a break dating people. I think you are the type of person who easily fall in love and would actively do you best to please your partner and cuz of that the moment they do something you dont like it would hurt you deeply and that goes to show how much you care about them tho they dont clearly appreciate it.

    I'm 24 and I've never been in a relationship, but I don't care hahaha
    Sometimes I think I'm ace... but I'm not sure

    I've been reading BL when I was 13-14. I don't remember, but it all started with fanfics of KAT-TUN (a Japanese idol group).

    Mmmm...

    Just hang it there :D
    We're young :D

    I'm thinking of start spending money on comics and pantreons this year, since I was a student and I couldn't afford it.

    I'm a teacher, btw. So BL and teaching doesn't sound too good together, but who cares? We just have to separate our hobbies from real life and that's it :D

    Haven't you thought of going to therapy? Maybe your feeling aren't something you can control by yourself. Look for help~ Mental health is really important

    wait so you've been a fujoshi since you were like ten? dude. same. i'm eighteen. I've loved thinking about romance when i was around eight, but always denied being a bl lover until i turned thirteen.

    I like the term living life conciously or compulsively by sadhguru that i've been watching on youtube. His talk might help you in a way. Even if its a little bit. :)

    I'm 22. Turning 23 in 15 days. :")
    Been reading since for ever! But i'd like to think that reading is for visual library purposes since im an art student.
    But i do feel bad if i spend much time on this site and not doing anything for a whole day o)--(

    Hope things will turn out well for you and seek help if you need to! Talking it out might make u feel better

    nutluv1234 March 1, 2020 4:50 am

    I'm nineteen and have been reading it since I was thirteen. I stopped reading it for two years just cause I was bored of it. I don't think it's embarrassing because it's like a drama. Not that different. I have had romantic relationships before. I hope you know you are loved <3 we can chat anytime you feel sad just pm me!

    started when i was 11 and i'm 19 now, honestly don't give AF what people think when you read yaoi, you just gotta own it if yaoi plots make you happy

    I first encountered BL when i was around early grade school, the first time i was aware of it being BL was when i was 9. Been going strong since then lololol.
    I didn't have denial period like you did but man, sure glad BL is a part of my life haha
