Don't worry, that stage rolls over eventually. You'll want to start talking about more constructive things in time (hopefully). I did.

Glad to know you're not worried about being socially constructive then!
-When you are watching more anime then normal series or movies.

- when you spend your time more in the computer or whatever platform to watch anime
- when you go mad at a moe character or epic scene

Laughing at how I can connect to all this, you're not alone guys, no worries 
The sad/good thing is, most of these things apply to me.
Oh yeah, you know when you're an otaku when you obsess over lolis and things owned by an anime character.

You use Japanese phrases and terms in your daily life.come on, you are such a weaboo if you do that

You secretly think that you have special powers similar to that of characters in anime.
I know I'm an otaku when I watch endless anime and manga every single day and night non-stop. But I'm a student, so that applies in the holidays. School days - at least 1 manga/anime a week :3 And I say to proudly to my sister, "I CAN UNDERSTAND AND TALK JAPANESE, YOU BAKA!" and she doesn't know what baka is. [ but she knows now. So, meh.

I believe posts in this thread are referring to the westernized meaning of Otaku, which simply means a moderately hardcore anime fan. Still, very good points because I doubt everybody that posted in this thread is aware of this.UnderminE wrote:
SPOILERWhen you don't have an actual life.
When you start fucking your life.
When you start being too obsessed about not-living things all the time.
When you psychologically forget that you are a living creature.
When you go outside just for anime/manga/Japanese-related stuff like buying something or going to a con.
And all. Other else are just "liking anime/manga/Japanese culture" not being otaku. I can not understand what is good about being an otaku. A person who goes to school, talks with friends, falls in love with a real girl/boy, does other things except Japanese-related stuff and still calls himself/herself as an otaku. That is not what otaku means.

When your friend asks you if you've seen the latest season of x show, and you tell them you don't watch shows with real people.

When you shout "Masaka!" out loud when something bad happens without wanting to.
I've done something similar. Once, when I accidentally bumped into a girl walking to my next class in school (my school's pretty crowded), I instinctively said "oh, gomenasai". She gave me the weirdest look ._.Plus wrote:
