    Is there anything you're ashamed of liking? Something you don't want someone else to know because you're afraid of judgement.

    This deals more with other things, but a good example is music. There are some artists on our iPods we consider a guilty pleasure, we only have a few songs of theirs, or their entire discography, but it's something we really don't want other people to know because of things that'll be said, or other reasons.

    Pokémon is another good example.
     
    Well...please don't tell anyone else you know, but I secretly like-Oh wait that's illegal.

    In that case I secretly like skipping school, even though I did that like once.
     
    I'm kind of ashamed that I like Japanese music because no one else in my area listens to it, let alone understand it.
     
    I'm not ashamed of anything I like to be honest. I don't really care what people think of me. I'll blare my music proudly out of my car all the way through campus. :D
     
    Pokemon. Yes, Pokemon. None of my friends like Pokemon and I'm the only one in school and in the locality who does. ;; I usually don't join in when they're poking fun at it...
     
    I feel a bit unconfortable when people are making fun of something I like (knowing I like it or not), but I'm not ashamed of anything I like.
    Tonight, I told my father I wanted to buy Pokemon Black version, he was like "You still play Pokémon, at your age ?"
    Ahah, I answered him that I'd still play it at 30 years old. xD

    Otherwise, I don't care about what people think of me, I like something, they don't, it's okay.
    They can judge me, I won't judge them. Why ? Because we're all different, and we do not have the same tastes.
    That's the way it is.
     
    I kept thinking and thinking but I couldn't seem to come up with any other thing than Pokémon.
    Because, even though there are some people who actually love Pokémon here, those who don't like it and call it a baby-show-game, always call you a baby.
    However, I don't really care about what they could say or think. xD
    So I guess I haven't got a thing I am amashed of liking so far. :3
     
    I'm a closet Pokémon fan. Well, not so much anymore. If somebody asked if I visited Pokémon forums, depending on the person I would most likely say yes. I don't really have to hide it anymore. When I went to high school, it was an entirely different story. Like as in I probably would have still had friends, but my social life would have probably taken a massive plunge. Nowadays it's not really that big a deal.
     
    Pokemon definitely. The whole reason why I joined this forum was so I could go somewhere and talk about it. No on in my real life knows except my family of course. Music is another big one. All my friends listen to pop, rap, or anything on the top 40 mainstream stations while I tend to listen to a lot of classic rock and a lot of artists that aren't familiar around my friend crowd. So I don't actively play any music I really like around them because they never let it go. D:
     
    My friend's in real life already know I like anime and manga and stuff like that. Pokemon, I remembered having friends who use to like it and now another who doe's so there is no shame really telling, sometimes xD
     
    I am fairly guilty of this. Through out high school I kept my interest in Pokemon very quiet, along with my interest in anime and just how much of a gamer I was. Seeing as I went to a couple alternative school (You know, the ones the bad kids go to) it was kinda necessary in attempts to blend in and not cause myself any problems with other students.
    I can't say I completely denied or lied I had interest in these things, its been so long. Maybe I did maybe I didn't. How I deal with this now though is simply by not being open with my personal interest or hobbies with people until I know them well enough and feel comfortable enough around them.
    This also applies for personality quarks I have. Those are something only a very small few know all of. I do my damnedness to hide them, simply cause I find them embarrassing.

    Course when it comes to the internet, I don't really give a damn if people know my hobbies/interest for the most extent, though I do still try to hide some of my personality quarks (course some of the hidden ones can't really show up online anyways)
     
    Mainly Pokémon and Jessie J. Honestly, both of them are just so contrasting to my image that it's just something I can't let out.
     
    I don't mind people knowing that I like pokemon.

    There is one thing that I really don't want people to know about... but I can't tell you what it is. :P

    Oh, and I kind-of-semi-hide my anime/Japanese music obsession from my parents.
     
    Maybe Pokemon. I wouldn't just blurt out to anyone that I'm a Pokemon fan. It'd be... awkward.
     
    Pokémon for me too~ Haha, I mean, I'm pretty open to people about the fact that I love Pokémon. But it's hard to talk to people about irl since people judge, so I come here instead. :D

    Another one of my guilty pleasures has to be... Britney Spears. I'm a huge Britney Spears fan, but I don't normally listen to that kind of music. I listen to a lot of rock and acoustic stuff, and just stuff that is... the opposite of Britney, I guess? In any case, it's a guilty pleasure, but I just love listening to her songs |D
     
    Pokémon. Most people here see it as a child's thing. I don't really pay attention to it anymore, but there's always that feeling that we carry with us.

    The mere visit to this forum is something I don't tell anyone, even though I don't visit or post in the Pokémon-related sections.
     
    People know that I like Pokemon, but only in way of nostalgia.

    Pretty much every teenager who is male in my school looks fondly upon their days playing Pokemon, but I doubt they know I still play it.
     
    Nope, not ashamed of liking anything.

    I like what I like and if people think that is weird, then I am not really bothered. Most of my friends know what I like and have accepted it if they don't personally like it. So, I am not bothered.

    I am who I am. :3​
