Video games didn't destroy my social life. Video games were the only thing that stopped me from being a total leper at school.

The stuff I was really into as a kid (Science Fiction, History, Documentaries and Books) were not popular at all and I literally had no friends. I only started being able to talk to people about stuff when I started playing similar games to them. I grew up primarily as a PC gamer and no one at my school knew what Total War or Starcraft was, but when I got an SNES I at least could talk to some kids about Mario and Mortal Kombat. Even so I still had no friends, but at least I didn't spend 95% of the day not talking.

i made a good friends because of video games

Can't destroy what never existed.

did you say shit like LOL in irl?

>Friends with a sand nigger

You deserved it

Video games didn't do shit, I did that.

The only long-term friends I have are people I either met or bonded with over video games

I'm too romantic for a woman.

I did it to myself. vidya was just the poison I chose.

Same. Where do you live?

Nah, it's because my friends were 4-6 months older than me. As soon as they turned 18 I was ditched so they could go to the pub. If any of you have kids make sure they're born around the beginning of the school year so they're bigger, stronger and smarter than their late-born classmates.

More like my social life was already fucked from being raised by abusive parents long enough to think being treated like garbage was normal, as well as being bullied in my childhood for having a physical disorder that made me shorter and skinnier than most people, as well as having a shitty health overall. There are other things too that fucked me up like being sheltered and going to a Catholic middle school full of rich white brats while being none of that. Being into video games helped me make friends through a common hobby and getting better, and it helped me not being bored during my free time at the very least.

Video games didn't destroy my social life. Not enjoying drinking did, merely makes ill rather than happy, so that's 8/10 social occasions fucked.

If you're such a pariah that you cannot attract a mate, your life probably is not very successful. Now, it is entirely possible that it can be while not having some sort of mate, but I have a feeling that the sort of people who identify with Ronnie probably don't have very successful lives. Lack of a girlfriend is just a symptom, not the cause.

>attract a mate
Adults call them exes.

Yeah, like some fat, lazy, bearded comic artist totally has any chance with girls.

He doesn't doesn't even make good comics! it's two panel comics.

from experience people i met on wow came in all sorts of shapes that its hard to find an actual bro.
that game is full of neckbeards, attention whores, fat attention whores, dweebs, autistic faggots, power tripping retards

I feel sorry for you, friends

I have a handful of really great friends, great dealers who treat me good, a comfy girlfriend.
I'm happy with my social life.

Also, snuggling up, on a stormy night and playing retro vidya is maximum comfy.
What makes older games so cosy on stormy days?

To be fair, I had about a year of being an awkward loser in the 5th grade with no real friends, when Pokemon started to get big, me and the other few misfits got together to play it. They banned it a few months later from school grounds, but by that point, we were already hanging out after hours and playing 64 together.

The trouble with being a loser that's only friends with other losers is that you wind up developing an insular mentality because you literally have no other outlets for social activity and don't know how to find them, so it's pretty devastating when the group eventually breaks up after high school or when someone moves. It took me until I was 26 to really connect with people beyond a business standpoint, and even now, I'm still exceptionally leery of getting very involved with anyone, platonic or otherwise.

Didn't help that the friendships I had were mostly parasitic, though who had the upper hand changed every so often. When my friends wouldn't reciprocate, I'd usually go pretend to hang out with other people to spite them when one of them wanted to do stuff, even though deep down I would've rather spent time with them. I think it made them upset, but instead of using a bit of introspection and realizing "Man, I don't like it when this guy turns me down to hang out, I probably should turn him down when I'm feeling lazy," it just became a war of pushing it further to see who'd break first.

There is no meaning dummy

games didn't, food did. Being overweight made me sedentary and attracted to video games. I used to actually go outside alot.

had a few nerdy friends in school, it was the peak of my social life back then.
they all got themselves a gf and was heading towards normiehood before we even graduated, most of them got kids now I believe.
I preferred staying home and playing videogames a bit too often

When I got a girlfriend but rather play games than be with her. 6 girls later and I now realize that I am more happy single. Want to hang out with friends I can, want to do absolutely nothing after work I can.

that was my experience with my second girlfriend. first one bitched about it but dealt with it, but my second one had BPD and would not leave my side at all.
lost a lot of friends that way and regret it. getting laid is nice but not when you need a bitch on 100% upkeep at the cost of your sanity and bro time

women did, which led to anime and video games

I don't blame it on games I blame it on my relationship with my family and the time the only person I considered a friend no longer wanted to be near me as soon as he became liked by the more popular kids.

I know it's a horrible thing to say, but I somewhat take solace in the fact that every one of my friends from high school have remained just as inept in their own way as me.

Every one of us just go to work, come home to an empty house, and wonder where everything went wrong. One tried to become a normalfag and has the outward veneer of one, but is just one of those funny guys that get instantly friendzoned. Another banged plenty of chicks in college on the regular, but can't get settled down despite him wanting to. The third teaches at a college and keeps no company outside of his profession, no matter how much you reach out to him, he won't do anything but sit on his computer or watch TV.

Most of all though, I hate myself for being stuck on an old crush after several years. I can get attention, but I can't keep any girl interested for more than a night or a few days. It's like they figure out something's broken under the hood once the sober light of day hits and want nothing more to do with me.

This can't be stated hard enough. The most damaging thing this site provides is the dopamine rush you get out of seeing people get riled up about things. It's so endless that before you know you've completely forgotten how to have fun unless you are seeing someone or some group suffer.

true. only been on the site very often for 7 years. those 7 years i haven't done shit and life became stagnant.
but i get a lot of my game news from here and a place to discuss stuff with very very little filter. not to mention a lot of funny images and videos.

there comes a point where you just stop caring, no matter if you ever were successful or not, and videogames are only a very small factor

>this happens
>tfw you are already past that point

i'm on the way to that point but get certain feels of loneliness after seeing a cute cashier from store then remember how much i do not like conversations, and how weird it would be to flirt with a girl since i haven't got intimate with a girl in 7 years
then i just buy a bottle, get drunk and play videogames with random people who i wont ever see again

Switching high schools several times is what destroyed my social life. I've got no problem talking with people and opening up, I just don't know how the fuck to meet new people when all my hobbies are indoors shit. I can't even find new people for tabletop games.

fucking normies I swear, I'll laugh at them when I reach wizardhood, hard to believe I only got 4 years to go.

Man, this is so true. A girl can seem super interested in me and then after the first date she completely ignores me. I don't even bring up video games or weird hobbies and people still decide I'm not worth a second date.
I do have friends, though. One's a fellow Channer and degenerate.

This thread convinced me to start my lifting regimen again

well having a dad around would have been nice

Just get a sexdoll and project your emotions on it. Dress it up and fuck it. Love is all in the brain so just embrace your solitude. A sex doll is just as good as the majority of women who just lie down and take a dicking.

I always thought it was the other way around; spergs and the like only turn to excessive amounts of games because they're unsuccessful autists in real life. You think I would've willingly spent my childhood/teens staring at a screen if other kids actually wanted to hang out with me?

S-sauce please

First post best post.

>tfw have friends from middle school im still close with post-grad
I would take a bullet for every one of them. One of the benefits of living in rural nowhere land.

My social life never had a fucking chance to start with because I'm physically ugly, sure I work out and all that but when you have an ugly face it don't matter. Luckily this doesn't affect video games so I can enjoy them without dragging anyone's social circle down

You never now what could happen tomorrow, anons.
I literally moved to Korea, met a super qt chinese girl and now we're going on 8 months together. We live together too. And she's a giant normie who doesn't play vidya but doesn't mind me and my lewd games.

The ONLY thing that sucks about having a partner is less time to yourself. If I play vidya too long she definitely gets upset, and I constantly have to make compromises with my time which is fair cause she does as well. Just how it works, unfortunately.

Are you fucking kidding me? Every one my friends games or watches anime. I need to turn off my phone and pretend I'm not home so they leave me the fuck alone sometimes.

Nah, it was the social anxiety I developed in high school that really fucked me over.

Gynoids can't come soon enough.

>watches anime

they're talking about not having a social life after turning 18 user, not 12.

You can write C++ that way. Just hurts the readability

This is actually very well made bait.

When I got it back, since videogames has gone to shit I pretty much hardly ever play them in the past few years. My life changed dramatically for the better in these past three years, but not because I just didn't play games as much but because of other self improvement shit I did for for myself as well.

almost every single "relationship" or social advancement ive had was from videogames.

So no, I'd say videogames have helped my social life if anything.

15-17 my social life sucked because of the internet and vidya. Had a low end non gaming pc. Plenty of internets and the discovery of mmorpgs.

18-23 were the wonder years. Managed to get laid plenty, drink plenty, abuse plenty of drugs, and learn plenty. Had a proper job with proper friends and all.
Light gaming during this time frame.
Dark souls series and some CoD. PC was destroyed somewhere during my 17th / 18th year.

24 - 26 start gaming hard again, my social life starts fading away until there is none. Still playing consoles

26-28 built myself a high end gaming pc.
Social life is non-existent. No need to ever go out again ;)

Cancer is a shitshow, ask for an aneurysm.

could you find a quicker method to die instead of dragging your family's pain on for years and bankrupting them to give you medical treatment when you've given up anyway? thanks

I spend way too much time on Yea Forums but I also have gone out way too much this semester. You can enjoy Yea Forums and video games and have a good social life. You just need a good sense of time management which I totally lack. Also you need to put yourself out there and not expect things to come to you.

How old are you faggots? You realise when you get to 30 or older having friends doesn't mean shit anymore right?

Men actually fall in love and get attached to their partners even when they treat them poorly. We also don't have the convenience of being able to just hop to new partners, so a lot of guys end up convincing themselves that the next milestone will fix the relationship.

I still play video games a lot, but I've made some positive changes in my diet at least.

I've recognized the problem and actively try to improve my situation.

the key is just to keep friends with the same interests. if you can't manage to do that, then you are probably doing something wrong (i.e. being an insufferable asshole that Yea Forums has bred you into)

actually no, I've been thin my entire life. even though I wasn't overweight I could still see that what I was eating wasn't good and changed anyway. my energy levels improved, but I had to get some dental work done.

My biggest issue is location really, I live in the sticks and there's nowhere to go, and nothing to do that isn't online.
I don't feel secure enough to move somewhere else because I've been here my whole life.

video games didn't kill my social life. some drunk shitstains in a pickup did

Magic the Gathering made me more friends than video games though

Yea Forums shitpostery and memery brought it all together

I think my problem is simply not eating enough to match the amount of pushups I'm doing maybe?
also I think I get up too late to eat. like 10-11am, I'll eat some cereal, then at 3 a sandwich or hot pocket, then dinner at 6, then another sandwich or something at 9. I think I need stuff in between those times

thanks tho

Welp at least he's not a virgin am i right guys?!

I've lived with my girlfriend for 4 years and it's the best thing that ever happened to me. She's my best friend and always supportive and kind. :)

for those of you who are gay or having questions about your sexuality you probably got molested as a kid, or have self esteem issues and insecurities. Simply quit Yea Forums for a while and talk to people. You'll realize all your fretting and faggotry was a figment of your mind.

Do you think it's normal to have had only one single sexual partner in your entire life or something? Jesus is just going to a bar and talking to a drunk girl too overwhelming for you weird fucks?

When I quit college because of videogames and was failing because of videogames taking a lot of my time compare to my school work.

When my girlfriend dumped my ass for playing too much

When I started to stop socializing because of videogames.
When my best friends stopped wanting to hang out with me because I played too much videogames.

When I couldn't get my social life back and stopped talking to everyone because of videogames.

So now I'm a socially awkward loser who even at my job has trouble socializing with coworkers because I only play videogames and they talk about normal stuff.

Sometimes I imagine if I had a time machine, whats the shortest amount of time I would need to go back in order to make my life different enough that I wouldn't have become depressed.
Somewhere along the line there was a "last chance" where across all the possible timelines or whatever, I sealed my fate. It was probably something dumb like I chose not to eat my vegetables when I was a kid one time and it caused a chain of events that locked me into the depression timeline

Truth is video games never destroyed anybodys life. The reason so many people have invested what appears to be an unreasonable amount of time into this hobby is simply because they didn't feel like they had anything better to do.

I think few of us consciously elevated games to the top of priority. It merely settled that way due to having been born into a life without any clear defined direction or companionship. Video games are the easy-out for us to escape from a pointless existence.

If you identify gaming as a bad habit, don't try to tackle it directly. You'll either fail or find another form of escapism to replace it. Instead invest in yourself and the relationships around you. Although its a tall order, finding even a modicum of direction will do wonders in reorganizing your priorities.

Please keep trying

Grinding social links is a joke compared to settling down with a qt high school/college gf.

Games have two key advantages over real life, accessibility and low-risk.

Those young boys you mentioned don't know they're giving anything up. They honestly don't know the possibility of romance exists because they have no role models and no context by which they feel like they can hang out with qts.

They're not addicted, they're ignorant. Show them a better way and I believe they'll change.

The one on the left is cute in a mousy sort of way. The other two, especially the one in the middle, just look "off" to me. Something is definitely wrong with their faces and their hair looks like it was dyed blonde, unnatural. The middle face looks as if it was poorly constructed from clay. I feel like the muscles in her face can't extend enough to express different emotions. Its as if she's made of rubber. You know how when you were a kid and you made a funny face your mother would tell you that if you kept doing it, your face would get frozen like that? She looks like that actually happened to her.
The one on the right isn't actually that bad now that I'm looking closer. She just looks very plain and not as cute as the left.
Left is adorable and I love her curly hair. I bet she has a cute laugh.

[/spoiler]In this paper, you will answer the following key question: “Was President Harry S. Truman’s decision
to use the atomic bomb against Japan in World War II necessary and justified?” In other words,
was the bomb necessary to force a Japanese surrender and to avoid a massive loss of lives on both
sides, or could these outcomes have been brought about by other means? To assist you in
answering this question, you will read J. Samuel Walker’s Prompt and Utter Destruction: Truman and
the Use of Atomic Bombs against Japan, one article, a video that I will provide you, and any other
sources that you would like to use. You will structure your paper as follows:
Part I. Introduction (1-2 paragraphs)
Describe in general the question that is debated. In doing this, be sure and answer the
questions below. Do not attempt to answer the questions or evaluate Truman in this
paragraph; save that for the conclusion!
• Why did Truman choose to use the bomb against Japan?
• What were the immediate and long-term consequences of the bomb’s use?
• Why has Truman’s use of the bomb been so controversial?
• How have historians and other key thinkers viewed the use of the bomb from the
time of its use down to the present?
Be sure and state the key question in your introduction, and also state that you will try to
answer it in this essay (but do not use “I”, “us”, “we” or “our” in the introduction).
Part II. Historical Debate (5-6 paragraphs):
1. What is the main point of view of each of the sources? Devote one paragraph to each
source, in the following order:
a. The video (youtube.com/watch?v=BmIBbcxseXM)
b. The article by Gar Alperovitz
c. Prompt and Utter Destruction (you may write two paragraphs if you wish)[/spoiler]

Literally takes like 20 minutes at most to right
Shitters I sware

I guess but i also feel like I’m suffocating around people
My brain has issues
>hate being alone
>uncomfy around people
HAHHAHAHAHAHHAH

2. Analyze the evidence that is provided to support each point of view: What types of
evidence are used? Is the evidence persusasive? Why or why not? (Note: do this for each
source within the paragraph on that source; do not make #2 a separate paragraph..

In other words, in each paragraph, I want you to summarize the author or speaker’s opinion on the
key question and the most important evidence he uses to support his argument, and then briefly
comment on whether or not (and why) you believe the author’s argument to be convincing
Part III. Conclusion (1-2 paragraphs)
1. Based on your research (that is, from reading the assigned textbook, the articles and
watching the video, plus any additional research you did), how would you answer the key
question? Why? (Note: the “Why” is extremely important…make it persuasive!)
2. How did the reading(s) change the way in which you understood the subject?
3. How are the issues presented in the reading(s) still relevant today? Please explain how
your personal background and life experiences might influence your perspective on this
topic.
4. Imagine that you have been asked to tackle a current national or global issue. How would
you use the readings to help you do so?

I've written a 6 page essay on a book I never read in 3 hours. I believe in you user.

i swore i was straight at the time

I did shockingly enough. I dont know why but somtime in adulthood i realize i loved this person. I realized I trusted them and wanted to wake up in the morning with them at my bedside. none of it was sexual or anything. I just wanted them in my life and they felt the same way. so we've been together ever since. its still weird. like its called sexuality but my attraction was 100% not related to sex. so it upsets me when people think being gay is just wanting to pound on dick. sometimes you just happen to fall in love with someone of the same sex. and if you or your family is morally against it, it can be a real struggle.

How did you manage to pull that off?

I'm a lonely virgin, but at least i'm not fat.

had the .pdf of the book and could use the professor's powerpoints and lecture notes as reference for things I needed to ctrl+f in the book.
It was a book about some lady civil rights leader, and everything in the course notes correlated with events in her life, so I just kind of went back and forth between the two with my own bullshitting to fill in some gaps.
also used the wikipedia page that had a pretty extensive bio section on her life.

When it was too late.

Someone give this man a loli

Are you me?

>it was the vidja gayms
No you faggot, it was you.

I dont give a fuck though, the best moments in my life were with vidya, the few parties and friends i made were "just ok" to downright "annoying and boring but deal with it so you can be social". If i could i would stay a shut in forever with my video games and animu, the outside world fucking sucks.

Losing my opportunity to wizardhood was honestly the worst decision I have ever made in my entire life. Anyone that tells you to stop enjoying your video games or anime needs to fuck off.

>wanting a social life
You'll understand in a few years, kids. Life isn't like high school. You won't have any friends or any sort of social life. And going out and partying and doing other shit isn't going to find you your wife, it'll be some mediocre bullshit like meeting her where you work or at some random function.

Enjoy the realization that your life up to now has been a fucking lie and ill-prepared you for real life.

Shortly after my teens, maybe. Not going to bother with women because I'm jaded enough as is and would probably kill myself if I had my already shitty life completely ruined by divorce court. Bifag so might settle for a guy if one ever sweeps me off my feet but I won't count on it considering how ugly, boring and quiet I am. I'd like some friends I can count on, but again I'm boring as fuck so even making online ones is a struggle. I honestly don't know how I might have turned out without games to distract me, I was introduced to them before even starting school.

My social life ended after middle school.

My social life went to shit because i chose to hang out with shitty people in one corner of the net.

It's because the chads they're dating know for a fact they can ignore them all they want but the girl will never actually leave

not that sexually active desu. my partner isn't that sexual (probably due to aspergers, idk). mostly just cuddles and kisses. i kinda prefer it that way. i never really had much of a sex drive. dunno why.

They saved me from social life. Did you talked to people lately? It's the nost boring retarded shit.

video games didn't destroy my social life, I just lost basically my entire social circle after high school and always had trouble with making friends. I constantly feel like nobody wants to interact with me any more than the absolute minimum possible, and I don't have anything of value to say/ask most of the time, so conversations with me are fairly awkward. Not really sure what to do about it now; tried to get into MtG to get experience talking to people again, but I have trouble making any decent conversation or getting people to want to talk to me.

Fucking never.

I'll never understand that argument of "HOW DO YOU MAEK TIEM FOR [X]". I always have free time for the dorky shit i'm into while having a full time decent job, wife, and social life.

Yeah, I have a girlfriend of 3 years. Similar situation, I still play video games a lot but there is definitely a portion of my time spent hanging out with her. I dont have any other friends so it's not so bad though. She plays video games too and is okay with lewd shit so at least there's that.

What the fuck are you doing in Korea, Onso?

It wasn't the video games, it was my looks and personality.

Yes, best friend of almost a decade. He has a gf though.
We only hang out once a year due to distance and school/work. We watched porn together one night and I asked to suck him off the next morning, he turned me down respectively but he did tell me that he thought about it last night. The year after we watched porn again and I put my hand on his leg and it evolved into trying to jack each other off, but he could not get an erection, so we quit and went back to our business.

He watches gporn and frequents RP chatrooms. He said he just doesn't want to do anything that would jeopardize his relationship with his gf.

not that user but members of my family still bring up the "getting married some day and having kids" thing like i'm capable of rationalizing that i should waste vidya/anime time on some harlot rather than things i'd actually enjoy doing
argued with my mom recently about it (yet again) and she kept saying that i should just marry a rich girl. she continued to ignored me bringing up the statistics which show that they still have a major tendency to try and marry up. she has a tendency to try and act like i didnt say anything in response if it conflicts with her view
my dad is a bipolar mess who stays on pills constantly to keep from having "episodes"
also we live deep into a rural area

well that girlfriend isnt going to murder herself, user

probably about 8th-9th grade when i realized that kids who i knew played games were rotating out of it while i plunged deeper

when i discovered i couldn't talk to people anymore beyond polite chitchat

I have many male friends who I see regularly. I have no female friends, coworkers or even family members beyond my mom and a few distant aunts. I don't really get along with most women, I can never relate to them. They don't have much interest in me because I'm ugly, and that's fair enough obviously. I can relate to incel posters sometimes because I'm lonely without a partner but I've never felt any hatred towards women, and I've always had friends. I feel infinitely more sympathy for anons without friends than anons without GFs.

You can still do all that shit and socialize with people. You only have to have a few hobbies that relate to most. Sports, movies, current events and politics are a great conversation topics

Don't care about any of those but the latter two m, and it can't work because the few times I've expressed my opinions on them it never went over too well. I'm not even a /pol/tard but my views are too off from the mainstream and people really, really hates that

Literally nothing is fun for me except video games, watching Youtube videos, indulging in weeb media like anime/manga, reading interesting stories/articles, and shitposting on Yea Forums. I should've degraded myself to enjoy mainstream entertainment, but I've gone too far. I've set myself too far apart from the average person.
