| binary solo said: There's still a social stigma attached to gaming among people who don't game. It should be no different to saying you like movies, but people come to not very charitable conclusions about you if you say you like gaming, which they wouldn't do if you say you are a movie buff. |
I think you just hit it on the head right there. I worry that people will judge me a certain way if I said I'm a gamer, without them getting to know me first. Maybe I should stop worrying so much about what other people think of me... I've been trying to get better at that, I try to remind myself of this quote:
"You wouldn't worry so much about what others think of you if you realized how seldom they do." -Eleanor Rosevelt.
"Never argue with stupid people. They will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience."
-Samuel Clemens
