I'm almost in my mid twenties.
For some reason I feel like I'm wasting time when playing video games. They don't engage me as they once did. I keep getting the nagging feeling that I should be doing something "useful". I've never had a job so I've never done any work but I really feel weird.
Gaming was always my hobby and a part of my life but in the last few years it feels more and more like something I do for some other reason and not because I enjoy it. I keep looking for the perfect game and when I realize that the one in playing isn't the one I just leave it.
Can anyone explain what's happening here?
Games aren't fun anymore
Probably because your mind is full of dick and 2d images dont satisfy you anymore.
Go to fucking thailand already
You are probably burnt out entirely, try a different hobby for a bit
Maybe you should try to do something "useful" and see if it pays off.
You've awakened to the realization that you're a leech on society, congrats. Assuming you're a NEET if you've never had a job, so there's definitely some guilt towards the burden you're being to your parents mixed in as well. Either wallow in your pitiful state and learn to enjoy whatever makes you happy anyway or start the long, slow path to self-improvement.
Surprise! You are deppresed!
Now go to see a real doctor instead of posting your blog here.
Depression is my default state.
Hey that was just an image.
I've been obsessed with crypto at /biz/ and I've watched anime but I recently tried to play some games and they backfired.
I'm already a student but I play games in my free time. I shouldn't be feeling guilty for that but I do.
Stop watching anime and start watching live-action shows. Preferably with long-running plots. Also films. Read a few books as well. You need variety in your media.
Is there any good doujins of this trap yet? I want to tug my monkey to him.
Not a bad idea
>I keep getting the nagging feeling that I should be doing something "useful". I've never had a job
Why post when you already know the answer?
Either get a job or start learning something.
So work on yourself in the meantime. Work out, try to find some friends, start looking into what you want your career path to be when you finish your studies. Try learning to cook. Maybe try to meet a girl. That can give you a lot of motivation to try at life.
>be same as OP
>get degree
>get job
>learning 2 new hobbies
>visitng places and doing things i'd never have done before and always wanted to try
>still just as miserable
Welcome to life
Don't you have any curiosity that drives you? Why don't you go and learn about crypto instead? Say, how it actually works on a network level? This could lead you to pick up some books on networks and start learning about TCP/IP, whatever, and could lead you into all sorts of super interesting things. All knowledge in the world is connected to each other, user. There is a lot more to the world than just video games.
>Play vidya
>Don't have fun
>Stop playing vidya
>Still don't have any fun
It's been nearly 2 years since I played any game
get a wife, make some kids, that misery will go away for few years.
>TYRONE STOP MAKING FUN OF ME
>Naw bitch lemme show you whos the fucking boss here lemme show you how a real man does it
Dunno, OP. On the flip side, all I have is a decade old toaser only powerful enough to play Doom and it's assorted mods, plus other shitty trash indie games, but I'm content with that. Maybe vidya isn't the hobby for you, and gender reassignment or asphyxiation via rope constriction could be the thing for you.
Vast majority of the cases where "X isn't enjoyable anymore." is due to poor quality of life.
In your case it just seems that you've simply outgrown vidya. You're an adult and you're much more aware and so mundane things no longer give you a sense of fulfillment. The "Biological Clock" is an actual thing. Every Human's goal is to pass on their genes, to reproduce. Beyond a certain age, most people will only find fulfillment in starting a family. This is why you see many people who let their children define them. They always talk about their children, their wife, family Man woes.

It only gets worse from there
Eh, when you have a job you'd wish you had free time again.
I understand not wanting to be with your parents anymore but try not to think of being a burden to your society too hard.
''Sane'' People are hard wired to think they are always doing something wrong, while they don't own their country jack shit.
A working life means a frustrated and tired life, even if i make money now, i don't feel like spending it on something just to give me a slight buzz feeling of being rewarded. After a while you feel more like a tool instead of a human.
I'd say you have to find things to do outside so your aren't on your chair all day, even if it is just a long walk.
I still enjoy video games but I do feel terrible oftentimes. I lack motivation to even respond to people's messages these days. I've been told that I probably have depression but can't bring myself to do anything about it, especiallly since I don't have a car, so in order to get looked at I'd have to go through my parents.
I think most of my suffering is just from just being alone though. I want a girlfriend. I'd even settle for a boyfriend provided they were very effeminate. But I've come to the realization I don't know how to talk to people, and the only people I'd want to talk to are people extremely into niche Japanese video games, so I just continuously stay in my room playing video games instead since finding such people is hard and actually figuring out how to talk to people is even harder.
Video games are such a huge part of my life; if I can't date someone that's into stuff like pic related (Tokyo Xanadu), what's the point? I just want to be able to be excited about and talk about new games with irl.
getting married will make you miserable, getting kids will only add more on top of that
Everyone who's married and has kids says its awful and cautions against it. No doubt you yourself were warned so why did you pursue it?
Truth is that growing old without building a family is much more miserable.
any qts here
>25
>have a job
>vidya still fun
Get smashed, kiddo.
Fucking normie leave Sup Forums!
Your life sucks so you don't enjoy things anymore. Videogames were probably your medium of escapism but that can only last for so long. I would give you some advice but you're a cancerous trapshitter so just play russian roulette instead.
h-hi...
>tfw single rolling
>tfw roll astolfo
Now I can keep saving for jealter
fuck off faggot
get some taste even as a fag
>Dont have GF
>Really Want a GF
>Get GF
>Want her to fuck off
How do I escape the cycle? Is prostitution the answer?
Shit I'm in the same boat too. Something about playing videogames makes me anxious or something like I'm not being productive enough
I used to be like you. When I started working full time and going out with friends more I found that I don't have the mental focus or energy to play games after work. I just end up watching Netflix or YouTube or whatever. I only really ever feel like I have time to play games on the weekend, and even then I feel fucking guilty because I feel like I should be making better use of my time. I think it has a lot to do with getting older and realizing that there is more to your life than just games and also I think that the "Fear Of Missing Out" has become an epidemic for younger people.
hey qt how you doing
wanna send me pics so I can jack off
Not really...
shut the fuck up and post your smooth butt
Growing old without friends is what's truly miserable, making a family to fill in that hole does not fix that problem, and in some cases ruins the opportunity. A family requires confidence that you will be able to manage the time and resources for the ultimate caretaking experience and in attempt to immortalize yourself through legacy.
Please don't speak to me that way...
I would actually appreciate any form of advice
You like it and its obvious. Whores like you are a dime a dozen.
Post it.
come on user
I'll be nice
No, you can't bully me into doing what you want.
Fuck off then.
What are you doing goyim? you suppose to work hard for 12 hours a day and make money so i can acquiere my precious shekels.
Also remember to get a wife and make children, so i can exploit them the same way as you.
I asked him, don't ruin it motherfucker
we can talk after jacking off user
I'm not showing anyone my butt, sorry.
