>video games are free dopamine
I wish. I haven't been invested in a game since 2015.

i kind of have this too. it's very VERY rare that i can manage to play more than one hour without getting distracted or tired. i wish things were still interesting like when i was a kid

Uh-huh, I guess?
>and living a fulfilling life
How is this related to the first part of the sentence? I hate doing those things and they don't lead to "fulfilling life".

And we are "supposed to" get a wife and have children too, but that's the most repulsive thing I could think of. Doesn't mean shit.

shut the fuck up

Just shows how much of a shithole I live in if ~35k a year is considered low level pay there.
It would be a loooot of money here. But basically high management or executive level pays that much.

is that considered good? thats only like 35k a year

not the same guy, where I live it's pretty good yes

I'm very charming and could have friends if I wanted to, and do, but keeping social ties is tiring for me and I always abandon all social responsibilities and stop answering my phone. I guess that's as bad as just outright being socially inept

russia?

What do you do If you can't get any joy out of human conversation?

No, but not all that far.

Same here. Maintaining social ties is just too much of a bother and I can't be assed to do it. So now I have basically cut all, and honestly I don't feel like changing it.

I've got a lot of friends, even girl ones, luckily my guy ones like to play vidya and drink just like me.

No, job A my main job is $14 and job B part time is $12.

Jobs require no work at all as I'm shit posting from my phone right now.

I'll play something on the weekend during my off days but get bored quick enough it's time for work.

Are you 18?

30

the moment your time gets pulled elsewhere whether it be a job or family or girlfriend if you can manage to achieve them you will feel the pull of video games again.

and then your gf will hate you for wanting to play them all the time.

Honestly, the other side is also not that great either.

Just find a passion other than gaming and try to make enough money out of it to not leach of society, while not hurting anybody, spend an hour a day working out and game away my boyz.

If you are not at the forefront of science (industrial or research), or are not dealing with avant-garde art (in any form), or are not doing some interesting, semi-dangerous but adventurish job, video-games are objectively more interesting.

Trust me, I've been on both sides. There is really not much to the world, and the parts that are, are most interesting if you take a rather dangerous path... but why would you? You can also have a fulfilling life and a family if you find a job that just pays enough, stay healthy, and game the rest away.

Just never put gaming before your obligations and/or the people that you want to have in your life and vice-versa.

Dude you're depressed. Stop projecting your own problems onto the world around you. Video games aren't the problem, you are.

>how much we use games

no, how much YOU use game. Literally billions of people play vidya and still have lives. it's called 'balance'. Come one, man, grow up...

Good post. People here don't seem to realise that there are lots of people out there who have a healthy family and social relationships while still playing video games.
It's a pretty normal hobby, but it also attracts a lot of weirdos like OP too.

Nigger, I work for a multinational company and my manager is an 40 year old man who plays FFXIV on his ps4 almost everyday.
It's not about videogames, you're just a lazy bastard.

David?

What does that even mean?

Any pornstars that look like this?

Eat means how well you eat can decide things like energy levels, personality, social interest, investment and other aspects of genetic expression. Eat better and you'll live better.

>at this point have developed an isolationist personality and can't talk or form relationships with people
god I'm glad I'm not a loser like you, jesus christ

Ok.

Coming to Yea Forums is a self-esteem boost. At least you will never be as bad as these losers.

every faggot who makes a post like this should speak for themselves. I don't play videogames because I'm some social reject ugly fat fuck like the rest of you. I legitimately prefer playing games over normalfag shit like socializing and making friends. I have to tell new people at work all the time that I don't want to be their friend and that it isn't personal, I'm just not into making new friends. I dumped my last girlfriend who is a solid 2 points higher than me on a 10 point scale, simply because I wanted more time to play games and be left alone. If you want to make friends that badly just get off the fucking internet, stop playing games all the time, become an interesting person that people enjoy being around, and make some fucking friends. It's not difficult at all.

hey fren did you know that you can play vidya while also being a normal, functioning member of society? And did you know that your perception of normal is probably really fucking skewed? "normies" don't really exist, everyone has their own problems but part of being an adult is dealing with them and not letting your insecurities control you. Drop the defeatist "muh isolationist personality" mindset and take some personal responsibility. If you want to be more social you have to actually make the effort and put yourself in some uncomfortable situations where you feel vulnerable. Interacting with other people is often awkward and messy but it's like that for everyone, some people are more naturally extroverted but everyone still has some degree of trouble connecting with others. You're not special, just fucking lazy, cowardly, and conceited. Take some initiative and challenge yourself if it's something you feel is important

God I wish that is me. I'm in the office atm. Get a job.

What a pseud

Criticize something with quotes.

If even playing vidya's a chore, you should probably re-evaluate your stuff. Why don't you just, you know, go out?

Honestly this. If you have social anxiety you need to become consciously aware of your own irrationality in order to reject it. People are more forgiving of awkwardness than you think.

Post something with quotes first you fag.

That's a lot of words for people who aren't in denial, really coming out of the woodwork here

Great posts.

I am popping by from /fit, and the mentality there is generally better.
People like the one above are crabs in a bucket who will keep you down. Learn to despise them. But the most important ting is to build your mindset and grow resilience. This can only be done by doing, and in doing you are guaranteed to fail many times. The question is if you can persevere and become a stronger person. Be your own friend OP and help yourself.

>[Idiocy].

When I was first told that no man is an island, I took it as a challenge, not advice.
It hasn't paid off yet.
What is it you hate about socializing?

What?
Actually substantiate your claim if you don't want people to treat you like a fucking schizo, you fucking schizo.

When you are 100% wizard hermit and slave to your fears its not that easy.

The assertion is of common sensibility.

Speak for yourself nigger. You're just a depressed faggot loser who won't accomplish anything and have nobody to blame but yourself..

>video games are free dopamine and only make the problem worse
Future award winning psychologist here.

That's actually not quite true. The reason many people play so many games isn't the free dopamine, but the fact that they are low-dopamine activities. They need almost no chemical interaction to be played.

Its basically a energy savings mode activity. So people with low dopamine choose videogames because it just falls in line with that, and needs a minimum of active brainpower and thinking(mostly reflexes) as well as a minimum of physical interaction.

Therefore they don't feel a dissonance between the low dopamine in their bodies and the activity they are doing. Any other activity, they'd feel too depressed for, because their body would let them know their low dopamine amount.
Thats why they usually have short activity spikes after they masturbate due to the sudden increase in dopamine, before falling back to playing games.

Its a cycle many of them cannot break out of, because it has become normal for them. They grow dependent on the state they are in because it allows them to do (virtual) progress and activities without getting better or putting work in.

Taking a break every two hours has never been a joke and most people would do well to do that.

No, in fact it is the exact opposite.

>Future award winning psychologist

No, it's not in fact the exact opposite.

I think that is what people call "sarcasm".

Fuck off.
