How did yaoi change your life?

[StrawberryBunnys]

It somehow gave me self esteem and hope.

Yaoi turned me into a hopeless romantic too. And because of that, I always have high standards when it comes to a relationship.

I can't really tell if it changed my life for the better or for the worse but all I can say is that I don't regret anything about yaoi at all. :leaf5:

 

 

How did it change your life? Did it change your life for the good or for the bad?

Hm, it didn't change anything that much, though now I'm more inclined to pair up the male characters in most shows/movies/manga/books etc than I was before :cuteonion50:

Oh, but it gave me some of the best friends I could before only dream off! :cuteonion48:

I myself am an homosexual so that's kind of strange to read something like yaoi manga for me (because I'm lesbian after all:)) But you know, I've seen a lot of gay films and stuff because I have gay friends and all.. And I think that although yaoi stories aren't real (even very distant from reality) but they are good and fun to read (or to watch). Sometimes you could just sigh - ,,If just it could be like this in real life!" But even then - it's good that such stories exist: they could gave some courage and even the will to go on, to believe that there's a chance your life could become just like a fairy-tale:) I think that such stories could encourage to be more tolerant and honest with yourself and the others;)

i was the type of person who would bury all the unpleasant feelings deep inside me so as to not upset peoples and to not blow up on others because i would most likely say something i'd regret. ever since i started getting more into yaoi it has become somewhat harder to control my feelings and not let them slip. so i'm glad i'm obsessed with this!

When I start read yaoi I start write my own yaoi story. Now write is realy great pleasure for me

It has given me a way to completly get myself away from real life, and to forget for a bit what is going on.

Im not sure if its a good thing though cause ive become totally addicted to bl novels, and sometimes the stories make me a bit more depressed cause i kinda wish things would be like that in real life....

Suffering from anxietys n self harming n depression etc is hard spmetimes but thanks to one writer of a bl novel they saved my life literally, so i guess i keep reading them hoping some of them knock some sense into me if i need it.

 

I have also started to pair up anyone i see now lol i think,maybe theynr together lol its fun n makes me smile.

It's a nice passtime when work's very stressful and I need to clear my head. And it led me to this forum, where my addiction's exploded and I've become even crazier for it. It's certainly become more time-consuming, but in a good way
