In burnout right now, but overall things are looking up. Finally getting insurance so I can start meds and hopefully become mentally stable enough to stop burning through my savings. Not looking forward to working; but hopefully by getting something seasonal I can still pay my bills and only have my soul crushed for 1/4 of the year.

Same here. I love cgdct moe school animanga but more as escapism. I wanted a big group of friends and dreamed of high school when I was young; and then when I actually got there was too depressed, anxious, and traumatized to get close to anyone. It heals the heart yet tears it apart at the same time. Just wish I could have went to a different school and been a different person.

The only way I got into my current relationship as a hikiNEET was that we met as roommates. Same with the 2 friends I have. Unless I am forced to socialize on a regular basis my shut-in tenancies destroy relationships after a couple of months.
He likes fps games and that's about the extent that he is online, but dating a normal has it's perks. I mostly talk about my interests on here; and am slowly getting him into more anime and learning his tastes. I play a couple fps with him too despite getting overwhelmed easily. Not expecting him to get into 2hu anytime soon, but he respects my interests and learned the names of my favorite characters.
In terms of finding partners with otaku interests; I'd say lower your expectations. Don't write off people exclusively because they only watched shounnenshit. It may make you cringe a bit, but if you can get a foothold on what they enjoy about their interests you can eventually convert them. If you are looking for a long term relationship, a bit at a time can eventually get them to be pulled in on their own accord.
