If you think there's a good reason they're looking down on you, you might want to reconsider what you're doing so you don't have to worry about them looking down on you anymore. And if there's no good reason for them to look down on you, you should stop caring about what they think. |
I do not know if there is good reason or not, I honestly don't. In one way I'm a pathetic being for being so fanatical about video games, in another way I totally stand for it. I do not know the truth.
But I do know that in some contexts, like my work or really in almost any social context people don't think positively of you if they find out you are passionate about video games (assuming you are over 20 years old). Ofc I can say from time to time "I like to play video games" and that's not a big deal, but if I would admit anything close to the real scope of my hobby, they would definitely look down on me.
It's just the way it is. What can I do about it? I'm not on a mission to change people on this matter or fight for the righteous thing. I just adapt and keep a low profile. I'm sure the majority of gamers do this too.
