But in cosplay, everyone shares their interests. They prepare together, meet up, make new friends, and trade instant messenger screen names, and their insular worlds gradually open up. Not only do they have the opportunity to share their experiences and interact with one another, they also get the message that they are not alone in their situations.
但 cosplay 活動裡，大家都是動漫同好，藉著一次次的準備、出團、結識、交換 msn 後，逐漸打開原本封閉的生活網路，不但可以分享彼此的生活體驗，增加人際互動，更讓他們知道「自己並不孤獨」。
