I have a huge problem. Its like my whole life has been turned upside down. Ever since I was a wee boy with my first gba and pokemon cartridge I have loved gaming. I grew up with them. I didnt care about anything else and didnt need anything else. I had my family and games.
Now im 21 and immensly depressed. I have no other hobbies besides gaming because that is still all I enjoy. I cant enjoy them now because I feel like I am waisting my short mortal life on them. I dont know what meaning my life has now and this feeling is killing me.
How do you guys game so much without feeling like you are waisting your time? Do you all have other hobbies?
>21
>immensely depressed
Buckle up faggot because it only gets worse from here.
Might as well just take the cowards way out and kill yourself right now if you're using an excuse like depression this early in life.
Nothing ever gets better you just get used to shit we always feel there should be a reason but there isn't enjoying yourself is really all there is
>>318392675
How old are you? Are YOU happy?
Being fit. You always enjoyed vidya when you were active as a child.
>>318392913
>>318392898
No, most nobody on 4chan is.
I deal with it though like everyone else does and live my life. There are literally millions of people in situations far worse than yours so stop being such a fucking sad sack and grow up.
>>318392675
I have to agree. Although I don't really think of it as a cowards way out, it takes a lot of strength to choose to end it all.
>>318392985
You can just drink milk or eat eggs or chicken if you want pheny
>>318393178
It takes more strength to not kill yourself and improve your life.
Giving up and ending it all is the most cowardly and selfish thing you can do.
>>318393284
Nah I think it's selfish to continue living in the slog and bringing down the people around you. At least ending it quick, they can mourn for a bit, and get their own lives back on track.
You feel like it because society suggests it. Most people won't admit how much fucking TV they watch. Dude, we live in nations without starvation. It is very hard to fuck up. If you are employed or go to college, you already fullfilled your duty. There simply isn't more to do. You will notice how all the popular people, who's lifestyle you see as optimal, will later turn into workslave couch potatoes just as any other person. Just do what you like. You are not wasting time with videogames if they entertain you. Don't fall for this elitist/aestheticist ideology lol, it's far away from the average. You're normal brah.
>>318393392
>Nah I think it's selfish to continue living in the slog and bringing down the people around you.
Thats the most asinine thing i've ever fucking heard. Family members don't get over it when someone close to them commits suicide, you just live with it. Another human being taking their own life isn't something you feel sad about for a bit then get over it like the death of a fucking puppy.
>>318393284
>Giving up and ending it all is the most cowardly and selfish thing you can do
Well it's certainly not cowardly since it takes a lot of courage to go through with such a thing.
And it's also not selfish, because nobody chooses to be born. If anything it's selfish of others to expect someone to live for them.
We don't choose whether we live, but we can always choose when we die. Denying someone of that basic roght is sickening.
>>318393543
/r9k/ PLEASE FUCKING GO.
>>318393262
There's a max amount of that you should take. Dopamine receptors supposedly require antioxidant protection.
These are fucking fantastic though. Tryptophan actually gives a rush because it turns in to B3.
You can't be happy if you're alone all the time. What people do have in your life?
>>318393443
I wish I could beleive this but I just feel like an unsuccesful faggot who is doing the bare minimum.
I feel like people telling me stuff like this is just lieing. My sister is one year younger than me and she is almost done with her four year degree. I dont even have a two year degree. My family says "well people go at different paces"
No its because im a lazy unmotivated faggot who got spoiled on vidya at a young age where my sisyer didnt. She didnt waist any time being addicted to vidya she just did her work buckled down and got shit done.
Please tell me how I shouldnt feel like this. I really want you to.
>>318394183
not everyone is successful. if her degree isn't in a field with lots of positions forget about it. she'll end up at min wage with 4 years of work and 50000 down the drain.
just don't reproduce and share the burden with others if you aren't in a position to provide a stable house for them.
>>318392913
Basically this.
Thank fucking god I found an actual sport I'm passionate about doing, when all the shit in gym class when I was kid just sucked ballsand I obviously was shit at them. Otherwise I would be in the same boat with OP.
But I actually found out that competitive sports can be as fun and addictive as vidya. If not actually even the greater high. You just have to find that one thing that connects with you.
>>318394178
I live at home with my mom dad and girlfriend. Sister is off at college and I only see her every other weekend. Im afraid of the day my parents pass on andI have so many doubts about if I should be with the girl im dating it drives me mad. Im way to afraid of never meeting anyone better though.
This all gets back to vidya though. Vidya was always my escape but its like reality has forced its way right to the forground.
>>318394183
Don't blame vidya. The fault is all yours.
That said, do what many anons, myself included, did: enroll into a community college and use it to find something you like.
>>318394426
>has a gf
>immensely depressed
Get out.
>>318394426
Whats your girlfriend like?
>>318394548
They arnt that fucking great anon. Grass is always greener. The worst is being with them so long that you cant imagine being without them alone again even though you know deep down you arnt happy and want more/different.
>>318394548
It's not like gfs are a secret magic resort to make everything miraculously better. Like fuck, I'm doing hell of a lot better now than ten years ago, but it's not like I still wasn't an apathic and melancholic little shit.
>>318394949
>They arnt that fucking great anon.
Says the person with one.
Get out.
>had at least a week to learn for the next midterm test in uni
>still haven't done shit even though I plague myself about it every day
If only "just do it" were so simple
Don't get me wrong, I don't blame anything other than myself, but I somehow really really can't get myself to learn, ever.
The only time I ever learn is the day before where I try to just swallow as much as I still can and hope that I'll get through. I just can't shake this habit but I want to get rid of it somehow.
>>318394991
Dont get me wrong dude. I love her despite all the SHITTY SHITTING SHIT but I wonder where ide be if she hadnt come around stressing me out, changing me, eating up tons of my time, bitching.
The last time we broke up I started getting in shape and playing the guitar and I felt on top of the world but for some reason I went back to her anyway
> but OP if thats what happened when you guys broke up then why not leave her and get your life in line?
Because it was the rage and hearyache od her leaving me and not vise versa thatfueled those changes. Im afraid if I leave her ill just second guess myself and fall deeper down the rabbit hole.
This thread has gone of the rails from vidya and more of an /adv/ thing and im sorry. Heres waiting for the thread to die.

i remember that feel all throughout high school. would get a project and tell myself id do 20% of it every day and finish it fast. and every single time i would stay up till 6 in the morning doing it and not sleep the whole night.
i'm a neet now and have told myself every day since june that i was going to read this one manga. and i haven't even started despite it looking good. this shits hard man.
>>318395475
Nice blog. Get out, retard.
>>318395379
Maybe uni just isn't for you, senpai.
I mean it's not like we're all meant to learn by studying, reading, cramming text books. Not all of us are meant to become university professors.Honestly, I would blame the system.
>>318394183

You have everything you need. The successful business man is a trend from the 90s.
Atleast be a little humble about your luxorious life lol.
By working at Mcdonalds, you earn 10 times more than a blacksmith in Nepal, who works 12 hours a day and had to learn his profession 20 years.
>>318392494
I recommend watching anime, that did the trick for me. Now I enjoy vidya again and I'm happy despite being a useless basement dwelling neet.
>>318395758
Well i at least dont have to work that kindof job (right now anyway) I have an job at the college I am attending. 34 hours a week so I almost feel like a real boy.
>>318395689
>I mean it's not like we're all meant to learn by studying, reading, cramming text books
I've had this thought for a while now, it honestly never occured to me before. Maybe I should just stop trying to study for stuff and do something else.
But honestly, I wouldn't know what else to do. I want a decent job after all. I don't strive to be rich, but to at least have a decent paying job with humane workload, and I feel like I wouldn't be able to find something like that by dropping out of uni. I'm clueless and directionless, I'm just drifting on whatever direction I originally set out to
>>318395992
Drop out and go to a community college or a tech school. I felt the same way at a uni and that's what I'm doing now
Depending on the program, it takes a fraction of the time and lands you a job at the end
>>318395992
I wish desperatly that apprentiships existed still. I fucking suck and book learning but if im doing it and someone is showing me as we go and I have my hands on it I learn like a savant. Science and math were always easy to me but thats the only actual studying I was good at.
>>318395992
I honestly don't know how employment occurs where you live, bro, but for me I've been semi-satisfied as I've been drifting between jobs after high school. I've been making decent money with all kinds of jobs from total janitor-tier shit to pretty damn sweet and I'm still not entirely sure whether I want to keep on my stress-free drifting or maybe pick up art school or some shit.
I would just recommend you find something you're truly passionate about and try your hardest to make your life revolve around that single drive. Maybe you could even find a way to get income doing it.
>>318392494
my other hobby is game dev. and it makes me a ton of money. so i know im not wasting my time
>>318397128
What game is it and how much programming did you need to get started doing that?
>>318397128
>game dev as a hobby
>tons of money
Do you make porn games?
