You know you're an otaku when...
  1. You use Japanese phrases and terms in your daily life.
  2. Your wallpaper or ringtone is from an anime/manga.
  3. You have a manga/anime character as your crush, boyfriend/girlfriend, husband/wife.
  4. You imitate a manga/anime character, you even own some of their things.
  5. You cried because of deaths and tragic lives of manga/anime characters.
  6. You know about manga/anime characters more than people around you.
  7. You crave for food you see in manga/anime. *cough* Pocky *cough* Ramen *cough*
That's all I can think of right now. Feel free to add your ideas (:

You are extremely cynical and writes sublime novel-mangas that criticizes the real-life and you get a literature prize for it.

You hate boobs, dyed hair, moeshit, and intentional naked-ness because they are way too fake, the ones who have them are all dangerous, corrupted, and evil succubuses. They only want your attention and money.

I'm pretty sure that otaku don't love Japan at all. After all, that's where they live.

When 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.

WHY AM I BEING SERIOUS IN A THREAD LIKE THIS

this is truly brilliant....

Also a nippofil or japanofil is when you love everything about japan and it's ways.
So don't take otaku for granted just because you love japan :)

The moment when you go from closet otaku to otaku and just starts to talk about anime to everyone without giving a square about what they think.

Truly outrages.. Truly.

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

Better that way :)

Also when you say Socially
Otaku ment pretty much - "Socially desturbed , having problems with daily life things" before then some young people started to use is in highschool and it got related to anime ^^

If im wrong Correct me don't spam the shizzle out of me for telling a lie this is taken from my head and my head is a false infomation station sometimes but i think this the Right stuff ^^

When you need to change computers, and specially move all of your anime and visual novels to another portable hard disk so that they'll always be with you.

you marry an anime character and put it in your avatar/signature/userpage.

Sounds like a forum game btw.
