| AngryLittleAlchemist said: I know this is going to sound stupid, but the fact that I can't even fully indulge in escapism because a game requires you to have friends to play when ... guess what ... I have no friends, really makes me sad. So many of the best games this gen are multiplayer games that are 100x better with voice chat and a group of pals, and we're even seeing a slow resurgence of co-op games. I can still play a lot of these games by myself and have fun, but some of them I can't and those I can just constantly remind me in the back of my mind of my loser status. It's not that this is a top priority for me, it really isn't, but it does suck that even in the world of video games you can be reminded who you really are. |
KungKras nice to hear that you are doing better now :D
These two post reminded me of a problem that especially men seem to have. The need to achieve things professionally and provide.
It also reminded just in general need to achieve and succeed in life. People are told that they need to: study, have a succesfull career, have friends, have a partner, have kids, have money, be fit, eat healthy food...etc..etc.... in order to be happy.
As many people don´t have all that, some of them worry too much about those things that they don´t have and are fixated on being succesfull instead of just being happy. A person doesn´t have to have it all to be important, to be happy or to feel good about itself. Also its not just completely happy or completely unhappy, but actually everything between those two.
Try to be good, okay, great or something, but don´t try to be perfect or feel bad for not being perfect. Forgive yourself and other when needed and remember imperfection is the only form of perfection.
