Do you think not playing sports as a kid messed you up?
>>29114957
I did
It didn't help
I was on the football team in elementary and still ended up a piece of shit.
I did and I still came out messed up. In fact, I got head injuries that probably made it worse.
I did I just kept getting cut from teams and my confidence was shot.
Here I am.
I remember I played teeball when I was like 5 or 6
>up to bat for my first time in an actual game
>hit it pretty far
>for some reason the umpire points to the left
>assume he's telling me where to go
>run the wrong way to third base
>normie parents in the bleachers all laughing at me
>cry in the dugout for the rest of the game
>beg my parents to let me quit
Since then my life was downhill. Before that I got along well with everyone but since the incident I was always seen as different from all the other boys. Also I'm pretty sure my dad started to hate me then since he realized that I wouldn't live up to his captain of the football team, cheerleader-fucking Chad legacy
Wasn't interested in sports at all when I was a kid. Like aged 6 or so. I think that your interests and what you like are determined at an extremely young age.
my parents tried to make me swim but i would try to not go and when we got there i would try to run away into the field nearby. i hated it because i sucked and relays where i was slowing the team down made me want to kill myself so i would float faster

>played on various sports teams as a kid
>everyone gets a trophy at the end of the season
>never have to actually work for any achievements, just being there is good enough
muh sports, most boring shit on earth forced down throats
I think in my case it did. It's a serious regret I have.
I played soccer for 7 years.
I was ok, solid in defense, you were lucky to get past me. I was an average player, couldn't do no fancy shit, i just stopped the ball. I never scored a goal because i was shit at striker.
People didn't talk to me much but when they did it was usually mild encouragement. But i was so average, i always felt a bit weird when people complemented me, it sounded empty to me. I didn't fit in really, because my teammates became more skilled as the years progressed and i was always that dude in the back who could stop a ball but couldn't juggle or do fancy shit. I got bored and i left.

i played sports all the way up until high school and im still super fucked up. it didnt help me "escape" my depression or problems. It didnt make me a team player. I didnt even make any friends. This is 10 years of various sports. Ive played soccer baseball basketball football. Didnt enjoy any of them. I stopped because it just stressed me out too much. It ended up making my depression worse. Then ofcourse i got alot of shit from my family and people i knew for stopping. I just graduated highschool and im glad i didnt do any sports in highschool because Ive really enjoyed being a massive neet. Racking up 5000+ hours of videogames in the last 3 years of highschool alone. Moral of the story is that sports wont make you a normie. If you have mental issues sports wouldnt have made a difference.

I was on a football team and a baseball team.
I still ended up here.

Australia actually, but yeah it's the same here. The coach was a good bloke though.
It doesn't work like that.
If a kid doesn't like sports, there's no way they will enjoy it, therefore be good at it, and then be confident and not become a robot.
I don't like team sports much. Maybe volleyball is OK from all of it. I love swimming, but I didn't have the opportunity to swim much, just one hour a week in middle school and that's all. Got back to it in university (obligatory PE classes - one hour/week again), but then I didn't have time to truly enjoy being in water - focused on studies way too much.
Would more team sports help me? Fuck no, I'd hate it even more - I wasn't good at that and others told me that a lot in a not very nice way. More swimming? Rather not, maybe I'd be slightly happier during that time.
