Anime is killing my social life

This has been weighing on me for a while and although I have tried to keep it to myself it has gotten to the point where I can no longer ignore it. Anime is taking over my life. I really want to be social and spend time with my friends, but I can't seem to get myself to do so anymore. Everytime I get invited out to eat or to watch a movie I just say "nah I'm good, I'm just gonna stay home and watch some anime" . I don't know why I do it. I have tried to make plans with my friends just so I can end up cancelling them at the last minute. It's really starting to affect my relationships. I do tech theater as an extracurricular in high school and I'm the assistant stage manager, and I'm gonna be dropping the club because instead of focusing on the play, I just find myself doodling anime characters instead of taking notes. My friends have begun to notice and are starting to get mad. I even started getting yelled at by my stage manager because she saw me doodling and thought I was goofing off. I really want to be social and spend time with my friends, but this has gotten out of hand. Am I the only person who has gone through this? What should I do to make myself more social, or at least put the effort into being social. I am not lazy and have been in many clubs and spent time with my friends, but since I started watching anime, it's all I wanna do. I have tried to get my friends into anime so we can talk about it, but everytime I bring it up nobody pays attention. With that being said, I'm going to shut this laptop, put away my phone, and go hang out with my friends. Does anybody know of any good anime I can watch later though?
