I'm using Elden Ring as a coping mechanism to escape reality. Help me

This stopped working for me in 2014. Tried therapy and it was no help.

It's okay I'm using a shit MMO and alcohol as a form of escapism, could be worse OP. Turns out being NEET for a long time as an adult isn't actually that awesome

the only thing that sucks about being a NEET is the looming feeling that you have to eventually do shit again. fuck working, fuck careers, fuck money, don't care about any of it, just want to play games and jerk off

Please dump more Rya anons.
I NEED IT

This. Why the fuck does it cost money to live? Why can't i be born a parrot or something

would be tight if playing games and jerking off somehow made you money

For me it is no longer about escaping reality but escaping the elves. They are trying to trap me in their nightmare dimension.

I don't miss working, I do miss having money. My clothing is all old and starting to get ratty, I haven't had my own vehicle in 5 years, I have no dental coverage so I haven't been to a dentist in years. The few friends I have only want to go out and get food or something like that, but it's only once in a blue moon, and I have to make up an excuse or scrounge up what little money I have. My friends are starting to show real results from working, thinking about buying a house, investing into stock with spare money, etc. I'm still living at home with my mom in a tiny ass room, waking up, booting my PC, then it's the next day. Being a NEET is overrated after the initial total release of responsibility fades away.

When's Lord Scrolls coming out?

I have been using reality to escape elden ring endgame.

All the filler in ER mad3 me unable to get enough satisfaction from achieving the goals I set in the game. A bit saddening.

Just be a Twitch steamer at that point

same and at the end of it my reward was to give the IRS $3000

I gotta get a job but I also really don't want a job

I wouldn't even bother filing at that point

wait till you beat it and you're fucking lost again

you don't want to draw the IRS' attention goy

Hey fren. Escapism isn't always bad. However, I have to ask, are substances involved. I won't judge user.

I'm safe, I don't even have a job anyway

Is there something you think you might be able to do? Even if it isn't ideal. Do you have any skills? It's fine if you don't.

I've given up on life. Just waiting to die or for the collapse, whichever comes first.

>32
same, fuck it. At least I have a house so nobody can bother me.

There is no escape

>At least I have a house so nobody can bother me.

The tax man can bother you. What are your property taxes like? Garbage and sewer?

reality sucks and is shaped by the mass of retards who don't understand they are programmed in every action they take.

I got roughly the equivalent of 700 dollars in tax returns, i'm going to treat my parents to something nice with it.

me too but i suck at the game and can only progress by others helping me so it's just like real life

Hey user. I get it. The future doesn't look great. You still didn't answer my question though. Are substances involved. For me it is a strong yes. I continue to fight, but there are many days I want to give up. I was able to make 320 in a couple hours, plan to make more in a couple days. No, I don't sell drugs, I am skilled. Well, don't want to give away too much. Do you have anything you are good at?

Not enough for me to have to worry about it. And I mean ever, not an issue.

No money for substances, otherwise I'd probably drown myself in tequila.

I have no vehicle, no money, no outlook, no future. I was robbed of my future. It's fine, the people who robbed me of my future will eventually get what's coming to them, because this country can't function without people like me, and the people who stole my future depend on my country for their country to exist.

Interesting. It sounds like you haven't given up on YOU, but the circumstances are more than you can see overcoming? Is that close?

Who robbed you and how?

Oh I'm too much of a coward to go through with suicide, so I've opted to wait until something interesting happens. Still waiting, been waiting for over a decade now.

Some group of people who've decided that it's basically illegal to hire white males. I'm sure it's just my imagination that I don't even get called back for job applications unless I refuse to state my ethnicity though.

i use turbotax
takes me 30 mins
costs me $22 which is nothing

Not OP, but it can be very easy to really screw over low income people. They get jealous of other people's success and destroy them. It really is quite common. I have had to cut off all family, friends, and loved ones because I wanted a better life. They could not stand this. I wouldn't even call it success. Maybe just being happy. Unhappy people will hate you for it wherever you go.

>he doesn't use reality to escape vidya
You'll never know how bad it can be

So you're just a massive pussy then. Blaming your troubles on random shit. Kill yourself fag

This shit is going to backfire so hard when we start to go through hard times that require competence in leadership and not a quota.

Hey hold on fren! I wasn't talking about suicide. Top kek. You seem to not want to answer my questions, so I will ask more. What kind of shape are you in?

>random shit

You're right, I really don't want to answer your questions. It's pointless, I won't be going anywhere with my life. At this point, I really don't want to participate anymore anyway. Why would I want to be a part of a machine that hates me and wants to kill me?

Practise writing better CV, resume and applications. If the reason they might be more interested if you were not white is because some quotas or other incentives it means the things I recommended might need improvement.

I really can't be bothered anymore. I'm not going to write a flowery novel to every business I want to apply to work for. I'm completely over the entire job application loop and have been for years.

turbo tax is like $100

Depends on how old you are, are you almost 30? aka 25-29?

You should try to improve yourself, because sitting around hoping for things to get better won't work.
Things will only get worse.

That's fine too, best of luck user

Maybe what happens isn't always random. We all agree. But sometimes things we experience are caused from layers away, things that can be hard to see without information. Some things that seem intentional were due just because of some bastards cruelty, bad day, divorce, death of a child, defaults, things we can't understand. Chaos has never stopped. Not will it.

You too

"Reality" isn't real and you can't escape it

I appreciate your honesty. I'll be honest with you fren. I've completely lost it. I don't have anything to tell you because you are correct. So now what? I have chosen absolute darkness. I know exactly how badly the last days of my mother are going to be. She chose it. I have tried so many times to tell her the truth. I'm convinced she knows, but can't face the truth. There is nothing I can do. You need to find peace in the hopelessness. There you will find the path forward. You are in the thick of it right now so this may not make a whole lot of sense, but know there are many out there like you fren.

is that the one that comes in a box? Maybe ill do that next year

>YLYL thread: impossible edition
Jesus christ, get some fucking therapy you pathetic freak. The persecution complex “woe is me” bullshit is a joke

They won, it's legitimately over. This was all fore-ordained and there was nothing I could do. That's the only small comfort I can take for myself. I can't have regrets because there was really only one way for my life to go. I am thankful that at least I'm not in any kind of debt. I've been homeless before and it's really not that bad as long as you can find some way to clean yourself and your clothing, and can find somewhere safe to sleep.
