yo real talk

harem anime /manga got me out of depression when I was a teen

I have addhd and very mild autism like almost not there

Enough where I had to learn empathy as a kid and learn to regulate my emotions

The lack of ability to feel emotions from outhers

Family frends potential gf and gf brought me to depression

I could feel the love from my family just not as much as outhers it feels muted

I played fossil fighters as a kid and felt something with the two love storyline didn't think mutch of it at the time

Then a few years later I got Into anime went really hard into depression because I couldn't feel emotions of outhers I felt alone I escaped by putting myself into the mcs shoes still felt lonely and was still depressed but I'd watch a anime siries a day I watched like a majority of kiss anime I would have probably killed myself eventually

So back then I watched harem anime and legit I could feel the emotions from the characters because the amount of characters directing the love to one person all directed at the mc and suddenly I didn't feel as alone when putting myself in the mcs boots

and I slowly came out of the suicidal depression

Now that I think about this I can't help but wonder how many harem fans have addhd / autism or undiegnosed has anyone else been pulled out of depression by harem anime

I'd legit want to see a study on how much of the peaple who watch and read the harem anime manga ect are autistic/have addhd

If you see this and have it or not please voice it XD
