| First, most people with social anxiety aren't the hottest girl in school that everyone wants to talk to. Second, if you're awkward in social settings you're not magically going to get a massive friendgroup and become popular lmao, Komi has pretty privilege off the charts. She doesn't even have a reason to by shy, she just is, would it kill the author to give her a decent backstory? Why couldn't the series make the protagonist someone ugly and genuinely show their struggles and the mental battles they face at trying to make friends? Komi literally gets everything handed to her with no struggle which makes it all feel so fake and unrealistic. Author clearly wanted to make a cute girl do cute things. Typical waifu bait trash. |

| Because it won't be a comedy. I rather not watch something depressing |
FutoiOtaku said: Comment above says it just right. We want entertainment not a documentary on ugly kids being unpopular. Yeah i forgot people rather watch trash waifu characters than actual compelling ones |
| This was also one of my personal gripes though to be fair, this is a romcom in the end so it’s not really supposed to be super deep or meaningful or anything like that so I’m willing to forgive it on that aspect. What I won’t forgive though is the repetitiveness of the comedy, because goodness did it get stale really quickly. |

| It honestly is, as someone who was really socially anxious back in middle school, I feel like this show treats it way too lightly and something more "fun" and "cute" than it actually is. I know that's what they are going for but I couldn't stop feeling like it wasn't well executed at all. |

| Repetitive comedy... Social anxiety can be good use for comedy at times but its portrayal is bad... Offputting at times even... I turn off my brain to avoid those since its a comedy... Easier said than done though!!! |

Just go watch Watamote if that's the kind of portrayal of anxiety you're after |

| Bro, calm down. The communication disorder is just for the purpose of comedy. They ain't trying to be serious or anything. |

| As someone with social anxiety, why would I want to see Komi going through the same hell as I do? That would make no sense to me. I want to be entertained and not reminded of how awful my life is. It's nice seeing her having a great time besides her issues. Is it realistic? I dont know. I believe that no matter what problem you have, there are people having the same problem as you and they are going through life very well. I can surely imagine there are a bunch of people having social anxiety and they have a great life with a lot of friends and people around them. It can happen. Does it happen often? Probably not but the chances are not 0%. Also there doesn't need to be a reason to be shy imo. I also have no reason to be mentally ill but unfortunately I am lol. |
| I think that the author got autism and social anxiety mixed up and never consulted a psychology book. That said it's nicer than other shows that screw these things up so I roll with the missteps |

| not all anxiety looks the same. not all pretty people feel confident. it even highlights how intense she feels around people even though they all adore her. the struggle isn't very large to us but also remember this is basically an episodic slice of life about HIGH SCHOOL. it should be simple and fairly easy to figure out in one to two episodes. it's supposed to be for fun. not all media that showcases a serious topic needs to be hard -hitting and realistic. Some are lighthearted and easy to digest bc not everyone will be able to get into harder topics if you throw heavy messages at them right off the bat. not to mention that pretty characters can represent parts of the demographic that aren't shown as well as give a better message to how people are seen. people with anxiety aren't ugly. They aren't all comely and badly dressed. A lot can even try to look more put together to combat the anxiety. some don't know they're pretty. some are anxious BECAUSE they're pretty. Just because you don't see it, doesn't mean it's not there. |
