I'm younger than you, and my perspective is going to be pretty different, but I think I know what you mean. I only got into anime and manga recently, while I've been (and I know I sound like a total ass for saying this, sorry) a really smart and studious person for as long as I can remember. So it gets hard for me too, to conciliate the two parts, especially when people in the real world think that liking anime and manga makes me something less than what I am. Um. But if you don't feel like you have both parts of your life now, then you don't have to. Don't give up what you love-NEVER do that- but if the reactions of others make you uncomfortable, watch and read your stuff in private until you feel ready to be open about everything. You shouldn't have to give up your image or your hobby, is what I'm saying. And you don't, actually.
