I confessed to a girl at work the other day. This is my interpretation of her reaction. : Genshin_Impact

https://old.reddit.com/r/Genshin_Impact/comments/r0gupa/i_confessed_to_a_girl_at_work_the_other_day_this

To the people who keep telling me I suck at drawing hands... YES!

I can draw hands but not as good as other artists. But, I do try my best. (T^T)

Aww, but he's so cute! Who wouldn't want to date a guy with a face like that (T^T)

She looks scared

Horrified would be the proper word for it, I think.

:#marseylaugh:

context at what you said to make this kind of reaction come up? lmao

I just confessed that I like her and that we have a lot in common and should hangout sometime over dinner at a restaurant....

Yeah, I wasn't thinking straight due to anxieties. It is covid season after all.

What exactly was her reply btw. I read up a bit on the comments section and couldn't find it but more confession stories.

Maybe I should make a prequel to the post for context, but I dunno if people would take my word for it as some people in the comment section says that I'm an idiot. I never wanted this post to get the likes it has or the comment section blowing. Some of my posts are usually reflections of the mood and emotion I'm having of a particular day, a way of coping with life's stress. I don't want to take any anti-depressant drugs or cigarette smoking as my father would say: "Always tire yourself like heck to get the emotions out of your head." I dunno if some people will be able to read this comment, but at least you might, I'm unable to read all the comments (T^T). I think I posted a comment earlier about the post being my first real controversial post on the internet.

I'll summarize as best as I can: We were eating lunch together as friends, sharing our usual Tachiyomi collection (manga stuff). We've been doing this for roughly 8 months, sometimes we were with my office buddy, a man happily married with kids, which demystifies any love triangle going on. I like to say that it felt as if we were high school friends, sharing hobbies during recess or after school hours.

However, my office buddy couldn't make it to lunch due to working overtime during lunch hours as he wants to go home early since he has a dentist appointment or something (I don't really know why he wanted to go home early). Anyways, it was the usual, sharing hobbies as I said. Then, the most regretful decision I've ever made so far in my life happened. I can't sleep at the moment because I still kept thinking how stupid I was to even do it, I should've left things the way they were. I can't remember the exact words, but you need to take my word for it: I confessed I really liked her and we could sometimes go out for dinner over the weekends if she has the time. I never added the "as friends". She didn't say anything. She immediately left the food establishment with haste when she realized I was asking her out.

I returned to our office and everyone was staring at me as if they saw a criminal in the flesh. My office buddy mentioned that the girl I confessed to was crying at her respected department. This is the worst feeling, you know. I believe a man shouldn't even make a girl or a woman cry. I NEVER wanted her to cry.

Earlier today, I got a memo from HR telling me to never ever have any interdepartmental relationship. I could've been fired but, department heads says it is trivial and can be compromised with a memo and restriction of me entering her particular department.

Problem solved? Well, there's a thing called office/department politics, it exists where I work at: I visit a particular office, I receive faces of disgust and horror. It spread like wildfire. It's as if I was Hester Prynne from the Scarlet Letter story.

So far, that's all. I think I made some grammatical errors or words twisted in their. I'll fix it later. I'm sorry WeepingClown13 for taking up your time, I didn't mean to open up and get emotional, you know, internet and all. Thank you for your time.

confessed

Why do weebs insist on using these bastard translations in daily life? Why do they insist mangas keep using them? In English you don't fricking confess to people.

IIRC in Japan it's increasingly uncommon too. It feels so neurodivergent and weird, why would you impose that on someone instead of just asking them out like a normal person?

You could confess or profess your feelings to someone depending on the context, but you'd never just confess or profess to someone without the explanation of what.

The idea of someone learning English using anime translations is horrifying to me.

Because they consume enormous amounts of japanese highschool anime where the entire thrust of the story leads up to a final 'confession' as the conclusion.

They literally don't have any other frame of reference for relationships and love beyond this stunted japanese vision of forever pining after your highschool years when there was the unrealized/unspent potential to not be a complete loser.

It's really sad, I know some guys who blew their chances with girls by using these anime-isms and weirding them out.

That's all fine and normal, it's the phrasing I don't understand. It's just the remnant of a bad translation yet weebs insist they keep using it. Sort of like the weebs that insist on honorifics being kept through the translation. It's like they want to be obsessed with minutia of Japanese culture that have absolutely no value.

There's traditionally a heavily taboo nature to japanese sexuality so in someways it may well be a confession of cultural sins.

It's like they want to be obsessed with minutia of Japanese culture that have absolutely no value.

Sure, nerds want to know every little nook and cranny of the thing they're obsessed with. Look at Star Trek nerds and the wondrously useless things they have memorized like a human dictionary.

Anime is made by the Japanese and most often set in Japan so they gather a lot about japan by osmosis, but Anime is a commercial industry mainly aimed at kids so there are large artistic and realistic swathes it never even gets near touching. Watching every saturday morning cartoon would hardly make someone well versed in American culture; there's similar dynamic here, the industry is just larger and more varied.

If you talk like a Chinese cartoon dub in reality it's too late for you. I always assumed peers were supposed to bully this stupid shit out of people in childhood, but someone dropped the ball.
