Why did we choose to waste our youth playing video games instead of forming connections and experiencing more of what the world has to offer?
Why did we choose to waste our youth playing video games instead of forming connections and experiencing more of what the world has to offer?
The world around us never indicated that it would offer anything more valuable than video games, and the further into vidya we got, the less opportunity the world had to show us
Anyway don't be such a homosexual, everyone in the world except a few savants has very narrow interests. It would never occur to anyone to berate a career logger for not knowing much besides logging and whatever hobby he has. It just is what it is, it's not like it's good or bad outside of how satisfied the logger is with his life
I can't speak for you, but I chose videogames over building/advancing connections because I just wasn't very interested in people and the things they did, which wasn't so bad at first but caused a greater cycle of isolation as time progressed. There's a part of me now that's sick of the loneliness, but I still honestly don't care very much about other people and the inane shit they do, and maintaining a pretense to interact with others would likely turn out to be just as bad as the isolation
>forming connections
You mean a girlfriend/sexo? I would prefer to have sex over playing videogames but I'm too ugly LOL I love shitting on myself in these automated threads.
Feel free to
>forming connections and experiencing more of what the world has to offer
yourself, you cancerous normalhomosexual.
I highly value my time doing what I want.
Gtgff
If you honestly think you had a chance at life to begin with but are shitposting here, then it was probably over for you the moment your mom shitted you out of her womb.
Actually I wasted my youth forming connections and experiencing the world, only to realize people are mostly worthless, the few that aren't often drift apart anyway, and that "experiences" are subjected to the law of diminishing returns, which mean you will spend more time and go through more inconveniences to learn less new things.
I wish I had stayed home instead playing video games. Would have saved me a lot of effort and disappointments.
i did both.
people are not worth the effort.
>we
Not everyone is an inactive loser like you moron
They didn't have to come at the expense of life. I pity addictiongays and crippling introverts
Nah im both except i decided to be more positive about it. OP is just mad about not being popular
I tried going the normie route, having friends, going out and all of that stuff, at some point i realized that socializing for other people it just a natural thing for them but more for me it takes a lot of mental pressure and i ended up literally exhausted and dreading the weekends, always making excuses and hating myself for it, so in the end i just though "what's even the point of doing this to myself" and never looked back tbhwyf
Why cant we form connections through video games
videogames are a fairy land and they're inhabited by digi parasitic beings that distort time and drain your life essence and literal semen
Gaming is just a Hobby
>didn't really socialize in high school
>basically didn't in college
I barely play vidya but yeah I'm fricked either way since I'm not neurotypical enough
My "social life" is Discord
I did both sorry you had shitty parents
Because other people aren't interested in forming connections with me.
Like what? climbing a mountain and hope you don't die?
btw this guy has been posting the exact same image with the exact same posts on /adv/ for years
Those are equally as useless. Nothing will matter in time. Playing video games and forming connections and experiencing what the world has to offer all provide an equal sense of enjoyment. There is ultimately no reason to choose one over the other.
I did, I was a normie through high school- had teenage love, lots of friends, played sports, went to all the dances with dates, the whole deal. I became a failed normie after college and have spent my adult life single and coping with my failure by retreating into video games and media and shitposting. I'm doing it this very minute.
t. 40 year old regretter of bad life choices
People have become less interesting, the world got worse in several aspects, you can't have a gf because they are all prostitutes without a price, friends will abandon you if you aren't part of the hive mind of the current popular beliefs.
Life is about the reward system,most peoples brain get a HUGE REWARD from social events
Now I may ask have you ever been to a social event in your youth? yes right? did you feel like Oh my God Im so excited for this event, Oh Im enjoying this event so much! and then later man I had such a great time in that event!
No right?
But these do apply when you played one of your favorite videogames right?
Tldr autism you were never meant to be social.
Luckily its gaming instead of more stupid shit like gambling or drugs.
not OP but i always felt like i was on the spectrum, even if doctors told me all i had was mild adhd. I had a normal teenage life but i felt weird around my peers all the time
Just move on. You literally just waste more time thinking about your past.
>choose
>Why did we choose to waste our youth
Depends on what you consider waste
>playing video games
They're fun
>instead of forming connections
Most people are morons, why would I want to connect with them?
>and experiencing more of what the world has to offer?
HAHAHAHAHAHA
You can do both, bro.
Childhood isolation and social rejection so you find SOMETHING to occupy all the time
Hgg
Where do people like you get this idea that there is something more to life than what you know? If you actually put yourself out there more as a kid, you would just realize that there really isn't much to do or enjoy and that life is mostly work and boredom from beginning to end, everyone comes to the same conclusion eventually regardless of whatever their life was like as a child. The grass is always greener, you honestly didn't miss much of anything, I had a good mix of traditional childhood experiences and gaming growing up and I'm still sitting here replying to your time wasting thread.
You know you can have friends and play vidya too right
The world was too hostile
When normies talk about “forming connections” they really just mean fornication
