Do you speak Swahili?
No?
Does that mean you can’t learn Swahili?
Probably no. I know that's the language the Majini speak in resident evil 5 though.
So you don't like comic cons (they have other things at those events besides manga and comics) but you know the language the NPCs speak in a video game?
You should honestly fit right the fuck in at one of those. Honestly, the awkward self-pity already does. I meet so many people who are incredibly shy/awkward/what-have-you show up and it's actually their first one, and they always end up having an absolute blast.
You're surrounded by like-minded people who are just there to nerd out and have fun with their community. And sometimes the costumes can actually be amazing.
I’m saying you’re a general intelligence. You have the kind of intelligence between your ears that the largest companies on the planet would gladly pay 100 billion dollars to be able to create.
You can learn and change and grow. “I am this” or “I am not that”. This just isn’t how it works. We cut off parts and build new parts all the time.
