I think I’m a late bloomer

Mario: Time to take a piss.

Goomba: What the hell are you doing?

Mario: I'm taking a piss.

Goomba: Okay, but why aren't you jumping on me? That's what you're supposed to do.

Mario: I might do it fucking later.

Goomba: No, I'm a motherfucking enemy, you're supposed to jump on me.

Mario: Okie dokie then, let me pull up my pants again first, and then maybe I'll jump on you.

Goomba: Maybe? Maybe?! Are you out of your fucking mind?! No! Jump on me now, motherfucker!

Mario: Let me get my pants first!

Goomba: Ugh, fine...

To be fair, being able to talk about Dragon Ball Z is unironically a door-opening topic in big portion of the black community, latin-american community, and portions of the middle east that are mildly friendly to foreigners(Dubai).

Well yeah, dragonball z is one of the more socially acceptable anime, and really one of the only ones I've seen almost entirely. Most of my black friends are well versed in it, you are correct.

The reason I think DBZ is more favorable to pseudo-normies like myself, is that it doesnt really focus on weird anime waifu relationship BS.

I forget where I heard it, but I read once that DBZ is so mainstream because socially adjusted dudes dont day dream about maybe one day having a girlfriend, they day dream about being able to blow up planets. Very apt in my opinion.

Your twenties are the prime time to be out causing incidents you won't remember 'til the court-ordered therapy. Snort coke off a stripper's ass, kill that bum in the ally behind the Red Lobster with a broken bottle. Fistfight a cassowary. Don't bloom, explode. Violently.

Like others have already said, being a human encyclopedia is almost meaningless. Only thing it's good for is if you want to become a scientific researcher or an occultist, and then only in the area of your specialty. Also if you happen to have a hobby like Warhammer 40k and want to shoot shit endlessly about the fluff with other people in those circles. Otherwise being human encyclopedia is sure-fire way to get seen as creepy and boring, most likely both. Being a human encyclopedia about pop culture is not only useless, it's abuse of memory.

You also said that you don't like to hang around the people of your age as they feel too immature for your tastes. Might be so, but do understand that it's most likely because you have shit in the head, not because they would be somehow magically less mature than you. More likely it's that you're the immature one, especially as we're speaking about people who are over 20 here, not teens. Learn to swallow your pride and see people as they are, not as you imagine them to be.

While I think it's important to develop your interests while you're young that doesn't mean you have to have done so back as a teen or that once you've left school you no longer have a purpose for learning in your life. That seems to be a really common mindset that ends up holding people back as they get older. 20's are still very young, and you have lots of time to develop your skills and interests. Henri Matisse didn't start painting until he was like, 50*. You've got time, my dude!

Like other people are saying though, I wouldn't aspire to know EVERYTHING, just focus on things that genuinely interest you and that are enjoyable to learn. Hell, you mentioned board games, being a Board Game Guru would be neat. Hit up those game shop nights. Especially if they're got a Magic: The Gathering night. Nothing will make you feel like a mature, functioning, well-groomed, adult like being near Magic players.


*Edit: Upon a quick consultation with Google, this might actually be completly wrong but just pretend that I'm right.

OP, it’s only too late when you’re dead. The longer you take to actually go ahead and do it, the less happy you’ll be. If you want to do it, commit and do it. Life is miserable when you do half measures.
 
Yes. It is true - you are trying to play catch-up. But let me give you some advice, trying to stay ahead with information about subjects you don't give a shit about may make you more appealing to assholes that are around you that follow whatever stuff they do, but you'll lose interest.

Asia sounds easy...but it isn't. You'll get bored. My recommendation? Take lots of drugs and party while you can and get laid...but be weary of doing too many drugs and THEN getting laid, you can get fooled. Wait until you are 35 to figure it out. Men before the age of 35 frankly aren't ready for life.

P.S. never report a spiked drink. Who in their right mind complains about free drugs?

So much of being 26 is feeling really ahead at being behind.
 
My suggestion: get a job. You will enjoy the experience. I am sorry but I don't see the value in knowing all this stuff about anime and being a human encyclopedia. I also don't grasp this Asian fetish, or this need to be different. Learn about the real world. Here is a suggestion: read the CIA world factbook. And get out of the house and meet people.

Go out and get an education and build your resume. That alone will make you unique, because nobody will have your exact same history and education and experience. Get marketable skills. A guy in his mid 20s is in his prime of life. Why are you spending your time on pointless hobbies?
 
You sound as though you are bored more than anything else and yet are planning to expand that insular environment which will increase the dissatisfaction and boredom

Learn some real stuff.

Ride a horse
Get your HGV licence
Make stuff
Build a shed
Design a garden
Volunteer at a local charity

Not because you have to but because you can.

You dont mention work, go do a job you would never have even considered. If you hate it, quit and try with something different.


I'm presuming you are in America, why move to Asia? America is fecking huge! Move somewhere that is a completely different environment you are used to.
