it's somewhere between a chatroom and a multiplayer text adventure

Also, I lived in the tiniest fucking town in Kentucky and I knew at LEAST two or three people into game making.  You aren't trying hard enough.

Lucky you. Of all the people I know, I am the only one interested in game making and as for gaming, we are not a lot. Beyond that, the only activity in my town is getting drunk and the only times I went to the town's local bar, I was like, one of the only person who was actually over 18. It is filled with 14-15 years old girls.

I'm quite sure I can't walk down the street and find somebody on my block interested in necrophilia.

I don't know for sure but I got the impression she's in college.  College is all ABOUT growing up and learning to function in society, so maybe you should get on the ball with that a little.


Then I say you aren't trying hard enough either, trust me, if I can find people, there's no reason that anyone else can't find at least ONE person in their town.  There are almost no gamers in my town either, doesn't mean I couldn't find a few.

Now I expect the average response to be "Well if you like doing it, and you can afford to do it, why not do it?"  Another individual I've met, a nursing student now off on her final year placement, mentioned once that "an addiction is medically classified a hobby that you begin to do instead of essentials, like sleep/eat/work/etc.  So if you're doing everything you need for survival, and then spending every other waking moment on one activity, you're not an addict."

Me: I've seen your list of things you call "life"

Him: Well what do you consider "life" then, I mean you don't seem to care about self-improvement and your only form of self-gratification is gained by retreating into games.  You're a shut-in.
Me: The words we use code underlying meanings, like the fact that you believe I "retreat into games" rather than the more positively worded "Exploring games" or just "playing games".

Me: What if i'm not hiding, I just have no interest in anything that goes on out there?

(from drama to sports to dorm-room style get-together activity house point bullshit to outdoorsey hobbies like fishing or rock climbing or hiking or whatever,)

Me: But what's the point of having them in moderation if I've already explored other options and found them to be unenjoyable?

Is it so bad to avoid social interaction and isolate yourself from others?

Homer Lusk Collyer (November 6, 1881 – March 21, 1947) and Langley Collyer (October 3, 1885 – March 1947) were two American brothers who became famous because of their snobbish nature, filth in their homes, and compulsive hoarding.

The brothers are often cited as an example of compulsive hoarding associated with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), as well as disposophobia or 'Collyer brothers syndrome', a fear of throwing anything away. For decades, neighborhood rumors swirled around the rarely-seen, unemployed men and their home at 2078 Fifth Avenue (at the corner of 128th Street), in Manhattan, where they obsessively collected newspapers, books, furniture, musical instruments, and many other items, with booby traps set up in corridors and doorways to protect against intruders.

Both were eventually found dead in the Harlem brownstone where they had lived as hermits, surrounded by over 100 tons of rubbish that they had amassed over several decades.

persons really fucking own. like PEOPLE ON A WHOLE can probably disappoint but individual persons are just the best. when someone says something that makes me think I am like FUCK

also contrary to what your favorite anime character believes in human beings are inherently social animals that require a basic level of social interaction to function properly. If you isolate yourself and live a hermit lifestyle then you will be doing it at the cost of your mental health.
