I'm glad I spent my entire youth playing videogames

you're not wasting time if you're having fun

Grass is always greener on the other side. I spent my university years going to clubs and parties and shit, and I now view that as wasted time. I suppose it would've been equally wasted to spend 16 hours on WoW a day or something similar, but it's arguable whether that would've been more or less healthy than being drunk or high every other night.

...

No matter what you do, you'll be wasting time anyway.

Better than shitposting on a video game imageboard.

Last time I played vidya was two months ago

>Coping this hard

Stupid dumb virgin.

as long as you combine it with the two most important things in life: eating healthy and working out. If you skip either of those, you're eventually going to regret it. Hard.

Oh? How's life treating you these days?

I live for myself, not for others

No regrets. You can't turn back time anyways. The vidya I played, the time it wasted and the things it taught me are part of me now, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

This.

I don't regret spending time on video games for most of my 20s, I regret letting myself become a NEET and taking so long to get a job. Wageslavery or not, it's a living and I still find time for myself from time to time. If I started earlier I'd be in a much better position than I am now.

Why?

no

>wasted

Shit, I can’t even play anymore because I get so fucking bored. I’d rather watch some shows, docus or shitpost on Yea Forums.

Nothing has meaning, and everything is worthless, your life and mankind are nothing compared on a universal scale and our existence has as much value as the fart of a star, seriously you want to live your limited life according to the expectations of others imposed by a cold, apathetic and unambitious society? Do what you want and what makes you happy, be master of your own existence and do not regret anything.

You're still in your 20s so going back to school should be viable.

Joke's on you, I spent my youth in isolation and depression, neither playing vidya nor shitpost on imageboards, just wasting away and getting drunk on occasion.

>Too old to go back to school to study to work in biology
That's not a thing. Even if you're 40 and spend 4 years at Uni you're gonna be working in Biology for another 20 fucking years at least.

This is only true if you have the discipline and ability to make something out of your live. If you can work 100h per week building your company then yea kinda wasted. Most however would do just other dumb shit if not play vidya.

I'm in my early 20's. I barely play video games anymore. I exercise, work, learn new skills, and read a lot. I don't have any addictions or major vices apart from a femdom fetish and browsing this website, and I can already tell it's on the way out.

why do people think there's only one universe and not something beyond it?

he's way more handsome and personable than me that's why he's a streamer and I'm just a NEET. there's no youth for me to waste in this era we're in.

Get fucked, cocksucker

Kill yourself virgin

i mean you're not too old but you're clearly too pathetic to pick yourself up and change your life so yeah you shouldn't bother

the unknown is scary.
Trying to imagine that there's trillions of other universes, and the possibility that every blackhole has a universe inside it, is pretty overwhelming.
Especially the concept that in a few thousand years, we might be programming our own universes like blackholes.
And there's many people that will hard deny everything unless there's 101% unanimous, objective, scientific, mathematical proof.

>spend entire life inside playing games
>still better at picking up women than chad

I feel like a lot people that say this, are lying for whatever weird reason.

because its impossible to prove or observe other universes (or thongs beyond it) by definition and therefore discussion of these things is meaningless. you can literally make up whatever you want and no one can prove you wrong. people go the most reasonable path of just assuming theres nothing else.

Video Games are a fucking blessing, instead of being miserable at home alone you can at least occupy yourself and have great experiences. It's still worth it to try and get back out there, but video games will always be there for support.

how long have you been doing them?
Because most people who look at video games as some negative burden, get new hobbies and then swap as soon as the honeymoon phase is over.

whoops

Why is this board the so vehemently shitting on their own interests? Are video games that addicting to some people that they suddenly lash out at some point and blame their problems on them? I don't really see this behavior from Yea Forums Yea Forums tv/ /ck/ /fa/ etc. I know this is all most likely shiposting, but in case it isn't why not just find something else to do instead of complaining about it? Thanks for reading my blog.

It's a meme that no one agrees on.

In my opinion if I'm spending my time doing something I enjoy or find fulfilling then it's time well spent. We're all going to be worm food eventually so if you don't enjoy yourself on the way there you're doing it wrong.

>Why is this board the so vehemently shitting on their own interests?
We're not, this thread is just bait.

You faggots. Do you not understand you have to grind endorphins?
That’s it. There are healthy ways and there are shit ways of grinding endorphins but that’s all it takes to “feel” like life had meaning. Who gives a fuck if it does or not? When you are creating and experiencing unique art, social experiences, worthy labor, etc. do you think you’re gona stop and say “gee I wonder what the point is if we all die?” Like an autistic nihilistic cynic. No, you’re all missing the self-actualization part of growing up. You can’t even reach the next-level and become a woke richfag if you die as suicide fodder because you were too dipshit to GRIND ENDORPHINS
>what’s the point
There is no point retard. The point is to Feel like there’s a point and the rest of the human experience that is 21st century folows

No! You're living your life "wrong." You have to spend your time making shitty wood furniture that will be thrown in the trash when you die, like me, then you're being "productive."

The meaning you make for yourself. The Yin and Yang of the universe is “meaninglessness” vs “the ability to create meaning”

Because virgins here are coping hard and being delusional when they should be doing something productive instead of playing Vidya all day like the cucks they are.

Thanks man.
And don't play so much vidya, it does nothing for your personal development, on the contrary, it promotes stagnation.

"this board" isn't doing any of that. Outsider shitposters are. Never forget that.

Same. While I was doing that shit, I should have majored in something useful, studied hard, had a job instead of relying on loans and then working my way up the career ladder. It was inevitable for me as I'm now 2 years into a slightly above entry level role. I had a lot of fun in my 20s but I could have had a much better life at the moment if I had put forth effort the majority of my 20s. I only got serious about life at like 26.

Even if that were true, how is that a good thing these days?

Everyone should learn how to cook in their 20s. Just buy some frozen fish and experiment.

Vidya is fine on it's own, just like any other media to mindlessly consume in your downtime.
The problem arises, when people spend wayyy too much time with them, to their own personal detriment.
What really pisses people off, are the coping faggots, that try to argue, that playing WoW for 14 hours a day is actually a GOOD thing and fuck Chad and Stacy for ever saying otherwise.
This makes people angry, cause a lot of people on here probably deeply regret over indulging in video games, cause that is time that you really got nothing out of long term and that you will never get back.
A friend of mine has played over 10k hours of Dota2.
Let that sink in for a second.
If he had played an instrument in that time, he would have been master level by now. That would have been worthwhile.
Instead, he is pretty good at a game that most people don't even know.
If he had done virtually ANYTHING else in those 10k hours, he might have something to show for it, as it stands, he really doesn't.

Playing vidya for 2 hours in the evening, I don't see any problem with that at all, hell you can even binge through an entire weekend once in a while when you really feel like it.
But when you piss away most of your life mindlessly consuming media, that obviously becomes a problem.
You can't seriously look me in the eye and tell me playing 10+ hours a day is not to your detriment.

>Plays WoW, League, Dota, Diablo
What a fucking fag. No wonder he feels like he wasted his life.

What job do you have and how did you get it? I've been trying to work freelance marketing for a while now and the stress from actually trying to find clients is slowly killing me.

>>If he had played an instrument in that time, he would have been master level by now. That would have been worthwhile.
Nobody gives a fuck about music.

Sure, he wasted time playing WoW. But in my mind, there's really not much difference between playing that shit for an hour and enjoying it, and playing it for 10k hours and enjoying it. Either way, you're a complete fucking retard.

The issue isn't conceptual, if playing a game 16 hours a day makes you happy, go for it. The issue is the choice of game.

>That would have been worthwhile.
?

This, jesus fucking christ. Games aren't a waste of time, but shitty games sure are.

As you get older you should focus more on short, narrative games which make for good conversation or casual games that you can play with others without investing a ton of your time.

MMOs and competitive multiplayer games are a complete dead end and you should drop that shit by your mid 20s unless you want to make a career out of it. They're time sinks, which is fine when you have a lot of free time to waste (aka high school and maybe community college?), but you're an actual manchild if you feel like you have too much free time by the time you're approaching your mid 20s. Life's too short for time sinks.

>What job do you have and how did you get it?

I build websites for a company and make around 2000-3000 per month.

>I've been trying to work freelance marketing for a while now and the stress from actually trying to find clients is slowly killing me.

I spent my entire teenage life playing World of Warcraft. I managed to turn my life around starting at 18.

My hobbies are now reading, math, and working out, and I can't even enjoy video games anymore. But I don't consider that time wasted, because I learned from it and it made me the person I am today. I wouldn't have the passion and drive I do today if I weren't trying to make up for all that lost time.

Because reddit has been here to stay for years now. Ignore the normalfags who can't think for themselves and see through their own bullshit.

No one who had anything better to do would have spent their time playing video games

Because they're bored and unhappy and seeing other people content and having fun bothers them.

And some of us aren't condescending pricks about wanting different things out of our lives than others. Fuck off.

It's not even about playing videogames, it's outright not doing anything with my life.
It feels like I'm living a coma. There are so many things I want to do but in the end I stop myself from doing. I don't read, I don't draw, I don't play any instruments or try to learn how to program. I don't understand how I can waste so much time and energy into this site when I could be growing as a person.

That's true, I haven't been doing any of those for a while now, especially since picked Andrew Loomis' Carousel of Blood and Rape back up.

This is what people don't understand. Stuff like OP image are scenarios where somewhere in their late 20's or early 30's, they find an opportunity to do something meaningful and then retroactively wish they got into it sooner. That's why they say shit like "I wasted my X years of life".

For some people, you may never get this blessed oppurtunity. You may never find that career or hobby/career where you feel energetic towards. At the very least you are content enjoying your time with vidya between doing what you need to survive and sustain that. Its only a 'waste' if you manage to find something great but its not guaranteed to happen to everyone.

>did normalfag stuff
>both sides were equally enjoyable
Don't make your lie so obvious

We have been over this.
Simply consuming media by itself can't be a hobby.
Watching TV is not a hobby.
You have to create something, doesn't even have to be material, just something that comes out of you, instead of just sucking up shit.

>productive
Nice meme word. Any person with a working brain knows "productive" means being a slave to your boss, family etc. and doing mind-numbing shit that only serves to make their lives better while not bringing any improvements to yours.

My only regret is that me and my friends didn't play more.

now that's edgy

I hate normalfags, but I still wish I had some real friends and occasional experiences I would want to remember. It's not like I want to get drunk and be wasted every friday and have meaningless convos with coworkers, just some ways of belonging, yeah?

Nice copypasta bro. Can I snag that shit?

>My definition of a hobby is the only correct one, even if it doesn't line up with any official definitions.

Always have a goal and ambition. It's the best thing for your wellbeing.

why do normalfags who hate video games even come here?

It's like the entire world is a bucket and every person I know is a crab.

It's all about how you spent them. A friend who departed our group recently played just as many video games as us, but never with us. Always shitty indie pixel garbage. Now he feels like he wasted his life. Instead of having a good time with friends he beat some terrible game he got for a dollar.

I still play games once in a while, but if they are a focal point of your life, you are doing it wrong and are coping.
And honestly, probably a bit of a coward.
I know I was. If you have given up on life, that's fine by me, but don't try to influence young people into thinking that this is fine.
It's not. We are only here once, don't spend all your time in front of a screen.

What's irresponsible about buying sex dolls? Way better investment than women desu

there's nothing exciting about getting drunk with people who most of the time can't actually stand each other, most of the ''going out'' is boring ass shit too, unless you got buds who are into extreme sports but you can easily make those by just getting into said sports

This site has nothing to offer anybody. There is no quality content here you cannot get more quickly and efficiently elsewhere. This is an addiction which reduces your productivity, attention span, and free time. You are becoming more bitter, narrow minded, haughty, and old. Leave now and block this site. There is nothing here but slow, lonely suicide.

People do not have arguments here. Posters do not engage one another on key points, they nitpick with greentext and mock each other. Nobody is interested in the truth; people are battling for fleeting moments of superiority. Active commenters are loud jackasses who tumble into one internet fight after another, anxiously keeping ten tabs open to ensure they keep the last word in all of them. An insightful post is one in ten thousand, and no matter how hard you filter this place you are still searching for diamonds in a garbage dump.

This place is not making you happy. You are not having fun. You are not gathering stories to tell, learning, or growing as a person. Instead you chuckle every thirty minutes and are occasionally spurred to masturbation by libidinal posts or pictures. You are addicted to readily available information and pressure free social interaction. This place is slowly poisoning you with misogyny, narcissism, a false dichotomy surrounding normalfags, and insecurity.

I'm not telling you to b urself. I'm not telling you to go outside. I'm not even telling you to make friends. Just leave Yea Forums. Do anything else.

You can keep pretending that what you do on this Earth matters but it doesn't. Just enjoy whatever time you have.

Because it will often yield long term rewards?
I don't enjoy studying, but I do enjoy having enough money to be able to live an appealing lifestyle. Or I don't particularly enjoy going for a run or to the gym, at least not right that second.
I do enjoy having a healthy and good looking body though.
That's not a necessity, I just invest effort.
So what does video games offer me long term?
Nothing.

Money is a necessity. The purpose of work is so we can actually spend our free time relaxing. Why are you spending your free time working to please others? You don't like having a "good looking body", you like having a body that will please the eyes of others. Yours is a slave mentality.
This entire mentality of "YOU HAVE TO BE PRODUCTIVE ALL OF THE TIME CONSTANTLY" is a product of judeo-protestano-americano thinking, really. It's like a horrible amalgamation of greed and self-flagellation where if you don't spend your waking moments contributing to society, you're a leech. This is exclusive to the US. You are fucked up slaves and your lives are worth less than nothing.

Lifting doesnt make you happy. Being jacked makes you happy. If you lift and cant reach a good physique, ur wasting your time

Real talk, is there any benefit in marriage for a man? It seems like the women get all the benefits. Not only do they generally not have to work, but they can leech off of your benefits, and then when a divorce happens, they take all the things you worked all your life to obtain. What possible benefit is there for a man to officially marry?

It used to be because women didn't have jobs, and men would marry them because the women would basically be a sex slave. Also divorce wasn't really a thing so getting your shit stolen wasn't that common.
It's really just an archaic system.
Women got more rights but kept the protections the system had for them as slaves.

>Lifting doesnt make you happy. Being jacked makes you happy
Not even that
I dedicated my late teenage years to working out and had a nice body and while my self esteem was sort of better than it is now I was about as happy as I am now

The momentary kick you get from doing physical activities is not life changing at all

Everybody is saying that exactly what you are doing is perfectly fine and healthy behaviour.
What people are arguing against are the weirdos that say playing vidya for most if not all of your freetime is not only fine, but somehow a great and fulfilling thing because it "makes me happy".
If some zoomer reads this shit and sits there, thinking " hey, I don't have to change anything, short term dopamine reward is all I need to be happy" that would be regrettable.
I feel a responsibility to make sure the younger generation does things better than we did.

the only pasta worth consuming

I don't have any friends so there's not much else to do .

I'd be aimless since my passion is storytelling and Video Games are the medium that works best with my ideas, tried it in full written form and comics, doesn't work.

Maybe i'd be a manager at one of the shitty jobs i had? Wow, so much better!

It depends what you read if you read trash YA novels all day then I agree. Art is more "productive" than vidya. You require discipline and skill and ultimately develop a marketable skill. Art is a form of self expression as opposed to vidya. Business development would be taking steps to start or improve a business or business venture. This could include any number of self starter projects such as amazon resale, app development, a consulting career. All these things require planning and execution to be successful.

Holy shit, you're still here? Nobody is buying what you're selling, faggot. Get off your high horse.

nothing by a frogposter is worth anything

The hell does that matter? I highly doubt anyone comes on here looking to make actual physical friends. 99.9% of the fuckers here are anonymous, for Christ's sake

What do you consider productive?
Especially interested, since you're posting here.
Nothing I do is productive but most of it is better than videogames (music, hiking, etc)

I play at a pretty high level and have still managed to accomplish many tasks and life goals. I think you just need to git gud

addict or dead
the life of a slav

I hate how the industry has gotten.
I love older videogames and some modern indies (brigador, reflex arena, underrail, etc) but most of them are terrible.

Yeah you are right, the rich, good looking, healthy man is such a slave, he should really learn something from the fat neet that is hooked up to a machine in the basement and constantly consumes his blinking electronic toys.
That's real freedom. That's a worthy being.
Not being able to buy what you want, travel when you want, get the women you want.
That's all for slaves and low lives.
Truly free beings take welfare and spend all their time in front of a screen, scared from the world, creating NOTHING and pissing their time away, alone until some day they croak.
Yeah, I envy you, what a brave pioneer.

Dota 2 has been out for almost 7 years now. It's easy to reach 10k hours just by playing one hour every day.

Boogie is 45 years old and has been imploding lately. Everyone that used to be on his side is slowly realizing that he's just a waste of space that has been coasting on people's sympathy which has run dry since he's done nothing with the opportunities handed to him. Chances are before 2020, he'll be joining Etika's swimming club.

-mes.

I've spent the first half of my life becoming a self employed indie video game dev while every one of my normie family members gave me shit constantly for not having a "real job" and that I was wasting my time at a computer. Now I make more money than any of them and I get to do what I love on my own schedule without answering to anyone.

Literally producing ANYTHING of worth.
Even just educating yourself is productive, if the information is worthwhile.
Video games very very very rarely leave you with anything at all, other than time spent.
Watching a TV show is not productive, you don't create anything and you don't learn anything of worth for anyone at all.

if you ban videogames
there still feminism,basedboys,fat people and duìelusional retard like you

>Meanwhile television, movies, fictional literature, and social media get a pass
By whom exactly.
I have seen them being denounced as negative examples in this very thread.

You vastly underestimate how hard it is to play an instrument, get your head out of your ass.
10k hours isn't "master level", for a number of reasons.

I still don't understand this mentality of having to be productive.
I already spend eight hours, five days a week, being productive.
No one has the right to demand productivity from me in my off time. The President himself could knock on my door and tell me to move my ass, and I would do nothing.

So how did video games contribute to that exactly?

What an unnecessary and self fellating nitpick.

Because that post is not for you, but for the people advocating spending the majority of your time playing and why that's totally fine.

the patrictian mode of that is subtracting the whole, house party bit

>people can do whatever they want as long as they aren't hurting anyone.
What do you define as "hurting" someone?

Nice straw man.
Worthwhile information is any information that serves any use at all.
The brand of bandana that solid snake wears is not worthwhile information.
How a combustion engine works is worthwhile.

having a different tastes and opinion as them

Why are there so many people on Yea Forums who unironically hate videogames?

You don't see Yea Forums hating sports or /lgbt/ hating anal sex

This isn't fun in the slightest. Especially not "Go out with friends to art shows" like what the fuck.

if you think i feel like shit because some normalfag have a midlife crisis and blames video games, youre wrong

I want to stop you from hurting anyone, user
You're hurting yourself though.

Cause videogames changed.
You can say you wasted your life on anything, yet those feelings are the same.

eh for me I needed to spend time with friends and play vidya. Too much of only one thing would bore me. I mean im only 24 right now but thats how im going through life currently

Because most people who play video games are white.

White people have this bizarre obsession with hating themselves and their interests.

Nah, that's a dumb argument for dumb retards. I want to know where the line for "hurting" someone is.

It is criticism, faggot.

>How the fuck can a simplistic electronic toy make you happy?
How the fuck can a bunch of paper glued together make you happy? Same exact argument here. It's called exploring vast worlds, getting challenged with gameplay, experiencing new ideas, competing with others across the globe, and abstractly thinking without having to get up out of your seat.

>the same website that goes on about being chads and manliness and crying about how they have no gf gets ultra defensive when told to get out of their basement

what

Do I need to explain to you how the entirety of human technological and social advancement works?

Can you explain again, and really think about it this time, how this constitutes wasting my life?

Meant for

That's basically how I am. None of the adults who "raised" me ever were ever really involved with my upbringing or interested in getting me into different activities and encouraging me to excel or think about my future. They all just wanted me out of sight and out of mind. Go in your room and watch a screen and don't bother me. Now I'm an adult with literally no hobbies or interests besides watching movies and playing video games because I don't know how to do anything else.

You're 24, you can do anything you want. There is literally nothing stopping you except yourself.

So in other words it comes back to wageslaving better. Is that what your whole life is about? Making money for other people while you beg for scraps?

Hate to break it to ya, but papee currency is the worst form of money ever. Bottled water is more valuable than monopoly dollars.

It's a challenge literally designed to be overcome and give you that little dopamine boost of "I just accomplished something".
Of course it's not a real accomplishment.
As I said, the challenge was designed to be overcome and overcoming it doesn't actually solve an actual problem.

What do you even care if it's a "real accomplishment" or not? To the person that did it it was an accomplishment. It makes their life happier and more fulfilled in their own eyes, and there's nothing wrong with that in any way.

Avoidingthepuddle teached me this:

"20s are for your mistakes. 30s is when it starts"

No, you need to learn it because if you think that studying some entry level mechanical knowledge is going to change the world then you're rearded, deluded or both.

Only true answer here. People mistakenly assume inherent values on lifestyles/activities/objects but fail to realise that these are all just societal values and can be manipulated.

If your entire outlook is just "wageslave this or that", that just shows that you have zero ambition to achieve anything at all in your life, zero drive to create, innovate or solve.

Humanity would be better off if we didn't keep dead weight like you alive artificially.

This, everybody hates their twenties. I say enjoy it while it lasts, until you hit 30 and have to actually be an adult.

Thanks for proving my point, I can stop wasting my time on you now.

>To the person that did it it was an accomplishment

It's normalfags. They live in a world of conformity so anyone that falls outside their ideal lifestyle is a loser.

It is not too late user. Head on back and get yout bio studies in while you're young, shit's dank.

I'm trying senpai but it's hard. Shitty food tastes good. Been lifting consistently for about 3 months though.

I'm sorry but I just disagree with you. Art is dull., old shit is boring, portaits or landscapes and new shit is just outrage and marketing. I feel at my loneliest in crowds. Cyclists are fucking assholes and cooking anything half decent is normally expensive. Fuck it all. Fuck your gay, basic, consumption orientated hobbies. I don't give a shit about them. Or "grinding out my endorphins". Or how I'm going to end up when I'm old and decrepid, or what other people may or may not think about it. Fuck them. And fuck you too.

Dying means to stop living. A dog is a 4 legged animal. Does that help?

There never was a time where most normal people hated sports, and there are only good things you can get from continuing to play nothing but sports. And well anal sex is anal sex, nobody's gonna fight you on that.

But for videogames, theres a lot of shit. There's also some hard downsides to doing nothing but play video games, along with stereotypes and social stigmas that come with being a gamer. I'm willing to bet a bunch of us grew up during a time when most people would laugh you off the face of the planet if you called yourself a gamer.
It's no wonder why a bunch of people on Yea Forums act like games are the bane of their existence. This shit is just a lonely hobby sometimes.

I am actually, my younger sister fucking loves me for that and we hang out often, play vidya, watch movies, eat junk food, I'm pretty happy

Atleast all I have to show for it is somewhat decent drawing skills. Thats pretty much the only thing I have going for me. But pretty much nobody cares for it and dont even think its anything worth writing home about. Not even good enough to get hired by any studio or company.

Is understanding the "truth" in the goals of others not virtuous? To fully understand what virtue is I should identify what is not virtuous in others and correct that in myself.

why would you need to work have a fulfilling life?

There is nothing wrong with taking some time for yourself, I don't know what you are implying here.

kek this but unironically
in my defense i got married so we could have the same dorm at my school (they had special dorms for married couples at my uni)
got divorced when i was 25 :)))))
luckily we didnt have kids

If what was going to continue? Vinesauce?

The only people who say traveling is a waste of time, are people that legit never left their cow town.
Some people just want more out of life than others and that is what this entire thread really boils down to.
Some people want to spend their life experiencing and achieving most of what life has to offer, and others are content playing with little time waster toys made by Japs and never really going beyond that.
And that's FINE.

It's just a contract that guarantees she gets half your shit when she leaves you, or all your shit when you die.
Sign a pre-nup and even then that won't cover anything you do after you're married (i.e. Jeff Bezos had a pre-nup for his assets before the marriage - but these agreements don't apply to money you earn during the marriage. So when they got divorced his exwife became the richest woman in the world)

>There is nothing wrong with taking some time for yourself
Oh sorry, you're not being productive by doing that so it's wrong by your very definition. Better go do something productive now, time's wasting.

You should be forced to work to have a life at all.
Welfare should not exist.
Useless people should be made to starve to death.

You don't become productive by killing yourself.

Some tax benefits / housing benefits / government programs for married couples
In a proper society it's the only way to successfully raise children and guarantee handing things down to heirs.

I've recently experienced something like this in the last year or so. After pursuing a career in a field that I've felt excited about for the first time in a long time, I do regret wasting my 20s. From roughly 2013 until winter 2018 I was collecting dust living with my parents. I struggled mightily with a disability, self-esteem, anxiety and a host of issues inherited from both sides of my family. I hid away from the world during that time and was consumed with playing vidya. Everyone around me tried to excuse it saying that I just wasn't in a good spot mentally. I've seen a therapist monthly since 2012 but never truly made an effort to move forward in life until recently.

But I finally started to pick myself up this past November and began doing volunteer work, taking online courses and pursuing a work program through one of the hospitals in my state. I'm now working full-time and I finally feel like I have a skillset, personal strengths and a purpose. I'll always look back on my 20s with great regret that I didn't just rip myself free of the vicious cycle I was caught up in, but I also use it as a reminder and a motivator to never sink that low again.

It wasn't just that, but that's part of it.
Divorce has gotten much easier, cheaper, accessible, socially acceptable, etc etc etc...
More than half of marriages end in divorce now when previously people would just stay together for 30, 40, 50 years until someone dies.

>You either spend 100% of your time being productive
>Or you don't do ANYTHING productive ever
Those are your two choices Yea Forums, better boot up that Nintendo Switch.

You don't become productive by shitposting either, and yet here you are.
