I've never been to an anime con, but I can keep a onversation going with people who go to them or really like manga/anime. Although it is a tad akward when people stare at you, snickering or pointing.

Nope, not me. I usually bring a friend or two though, and we cosplay.

Being a person who enjoys anime and manga whilst also having a great social life, incredibly average social interaction skills, and a promising future, I'm constantly an outcast at anime conventions.
