I see what you mean.

I grew up with a higly judgemental family, and they used to tell me I was an immature brat for watching anime (I ended making huge efforts to hide it from them). I cannot deny I ended with a lot of confidence issues about what I like and whatnot. When I started living on my own, also living with my boyfriend, at first it was sooo difficult to tell him, after years of hiding. Luckily for me, my boyfriend was so supportive of me, and no only he has never make fun of me, but he even started watching some anime as well. The fact that he supported me greatly strenghtened our relationship.

To this day, I still struggle to tell anyone that I like anime, but with the years I have found one or two people which I can talk about it. Lately, I've started talking about it with two young girls (a niece and a daughter's friend), and it has been great to support them the way I wished I was when I was their age. I like to be the cool aunt wich you can talk about those things they cannot talk with their parents. :)

Observe closely about how your boyfriend reacts to things you like. Does he make fun of them? Maybe someday change the subject casually to anime. How he reacts? Depending on his reaction you can decide sharing or keep it a secret, which is ok if is not a serious relationship, but you know he'll eventually will have to know if you plan to stay with him.

Likewise to anyone you'd like to tell. Better to be safe than sorry, specially when you know it's a sensitive subject for you.

Wow, sorry your family was like that to you. :/ I'm glad your boyfriend was sweet about it! <3
