      Yeah?

      Having your first romance? Making friends for life? Having sex? Basically making memories for when you are too old for such things you will not look like a creepy incel who wasted his youth playing vidya?

        I cannot believe there's people that actually go around saying this unironically. It's like calling someone a 'chud'.

        Romance and sex have never been achievable for me. And I've been friends with people I've met in games longer than I was with anyone in real life.

    No. I've always maintained a healthy balance. Video games are more fun when you don't play them 12 hours a day, 7 days a week.

    Literally the only cure to the bullshit that happened in the past is trying to pave a pleasant future. Imagine rolling a snowball around and it getting bigger and bigger. The more you push and the bigger it gets the less you'll notice the bullshit that happened here and there.

    What else could I do? I had no one to guide me; parents left that role to school so my days were spent either making out and vidya. If I could go back I'd redirect my life to learn something more productive. Oh well, there's always a rope if things get desperate.

      My parents gave me literally zero guidance and allowed me to get bullied for years in school. I'd cry, I'd tell them. They claimed ignorance in later years. "Oooh you should've said something". I'm literally owed their support until I'm back up on my feet. I'm still lost though. 26.

          Been on and off meds for depression. Didn't help. Made things worse somehow. Like I'm numb. But it made me more irritable and sensitive. I have sort of a connection with my mam but my dad might as well be some friend I occasionally talk to. Are you surprised I want to date guys?

    No. I "wasted" my youth and young adulthood with video games, movies, books, etc and I don't regret a second of it. Never had sex and maybe never will and I don't give a frick. I do have some good friends though.

    no because I didn't, I balance gaming and having a life outside with friends, gfs and other hobbies

    Unironically me 1 year ago after getting a parasocial crush that sent me into some sort of psychosis and rewired my brain for 2 weeks, during which I could feel emotions properly, felt like I woke up from a numb dream and finally had full control over my actions... before I got numb and indifferent again.
    I still have to go to a therapist about it, frick.

      And I won't go for months again, because I have 0 executive control and therapists here are all shit (I bet) and bazillion other bullshit made up by my unmotivated dysfunctional brain.

    This doesn't work with newer generations since most of them play videogames together or while talking to each other on discord or something. So the time they spent playing vidya was socially-heavy and worth doing to bond and make friends.

    Also, no lol. I did things besides videogames and posting here.
    BUT TO BE HONEST it's not that bad, I have a friend who's not into drinking and partying and is mostly a shut-in and he's fine. Has a gf, friends, stable job, etc.
    Like, just do the thing you want to do lmao? Youth is just a small part of your life, it's not your one chance at making it or whatever.

    OP just seems like a homosexual. Just like, go out and drink and start doing shit, there's no reason to be THAT upset.

    I actually had a lot of different hobbies as a kid. Games were always around for me but I didn't become passionate about them until I got older.

    No, it kickstarted my interest in computers which led to a successful degree and now over 20 years of great jobs in the networking / digital security industry. I met my wife at a work conference. I own a house in a nice neighborhood with her and all of this was because I love playing games.

    The problem in the OP's posted picture isn't the games, it is their lack of motivation and self-direction. They are just blaming it on games because they don't want to blame themselves.

    No, I don't care for people. I was always weak and uncoordinated. Computers are the one thing I'm good at, and at least I get paid to use them so I'm not some neet living with my parents. I don't want to be part of society's petty wars. I just want to play my vidya.

    No I’ve spent my 20s partying and gaming simultaneously. Last year I was doing blow at a strangers house twice a week. What I regret is not at least gaining a skill to earn me more than enough to get by. I just want a house and a garden, I have no other aspirations besides enjoying my personal space alone.

    I remember trying to be a normalgay. Trying to talk about things that I don't care about to get their attention. Trying to follow them to trendy places to do whatever. It was all so tiring. and I never thought it was worth it.

    I decided I wanted to be homeschooled I stead of traditional highschool but spent 4 years mostly playing Maplestory

    I enjoyed my time and made a lot of memories but I don't talk to any of the friends and guild mates anymore and I don't have any real friends either that I would have made going to high school

    so probably, yeah. I should have played Maplestory and went to school. oh well
