So one of my friends started watching anime and got my other friend to start watching it, and now that's all they talk about. It's not like any kind of "normal",I guess, anime, but the weird kind that borderline NSFW, and it's kinda creepy and it makes it hard to talk about anything. I've never been one to call out for attention other than to let people know that I don't care, but I've always seen my friends as a way to let stuff out. the first friend is a brony, so I can talk to him about ponies, but more and more lately I've been "watching" myself get secluded and isolated away from my "group not caring more and more about what's happening. I believe I've traced it back to the anime thing. I'm really open minded and I gave it a shot, but it just wasn't my cup of tea. I've always needed somewhere to let stuff out at, albeit this being the first place I've mentioned that to, and now I don't know where to do so at. I don't feel like I'm getting depressed or anything, just alone. Can y'all help with any of this? Any suggestions?
You're kidding right? This is a troll post, right? Please for the love of heck tell me this is a joke. Help with Bronies?

Eh... Nope. Real problem. I don't shove MLP in people's face, and rarely bring it up in conversation. I hope you see what I'm saying.
The problem I see is that you're holding onto friendships through material or trivial things. Initial common likes will bring you together as a start, but if that's all there ever was those don't tend to last long.
I had a friend who obsesses over certain anime and video games. I've recently decided I didn't want to spend so much time with him. We have fairly similar tastes in those things, but the problem isn't that he "shoves them in my face." Where he really rubs me the wrong way is that he doesn't seem to care about people, only things. Items are possessed, anime are watched and games are played, but people aren't like material things. To like a person you should attempt to connect with them beyond their likes and dislikes. There are certain standards when it comes to how you treat people. Be nice. Be clean. Give them their space. Give them some of your input, but not too much because that can be obnoxious. If you like a person, you should like who they are, not just the ways in which they are similar to you. I hope you can see that your friend's fondness of a particular anime has nothing to do with why he makes you uncomfortable. It is how he treats you that troubles you; I suggest meeting other people. Maybe the two of you just don't click anymore. It could be time to move on from this relationship. Just don't be petty. True.
Alright. All of y'all have been helpful. One friend down. Buuuuuuut... I dunno. Anywho, seems to have worked.
