Do you regret spending your high school days shut up in your room playing vidya?
Do you regret spending your high school days shut up in your room playing vidya?
no
I regret spending the seven years since then shut up in my room playing vidya far more.
no
Yes but I had nothing else
best days of my life
what's the alternative? somehow growing up a completely different person from childhood and having interests in different things?
Having a healthy social life.
with who, the friends you didn't have?
i did both, go out and play vidya all night
i have better memories about playing vidya games
just go outside and have meaningless sex and get drunk bro!
just as it was then, i ignore your retard opinion that has not actually changed since highschool.
I regret not doing it enough
You could start making some.
The time was better spent up there no lifeing awesome games than being outside in a ghetto city dump surrounded by feral humanoids
>just go outside and have meaningless sex and get drunk bro
That sounds great though
yeah just make friends with with the people you didn't like and didn't like you, simple
as someone who had a fairly healthy social life in high school, i had an extremely isolated life in college, and i definitely regret that.
i regret not doing it enough. i regret being a normie going out drinking and doing drugs and ruining my body and health
Playing video games is more fun then socializing with strangers.
Deal with it normalfags.
That's what we call having a defeatist attitude.
Not even a second. I grew up around niggers and spics.
Regret? I miss it.
Nope. I'm married, working as a software dev, and I come home to play vidya. Life is pretty decent, but I'd be lying if I didn't say that being moderately attractive didn't help.
no it's called not being able to read
This. Even Henry Chadville said so.
no, but i think that now that i turned 20 it's quite embarrassing to still be playing video games and following video game news
video games are actually the pinnacle of human experience. but stress can make it difficult to enjoy them much. When you're older you get caught up with making money and so games just don't matter, but if you have a low stress life, getting back into games is bliss.
Unless every single person at your school hated your guts, you could've made a friend. Unless you were too edgy for everyone.
No, but that was because it wasn't inside a room by myself, i gamed with friends, friends i rarely see anymore. I'd do it all again too if i had to repeat it.
I always pushed people away or avoided people who acted kind to me. There was so many times when girls have tried to flirt with me and I ruined it by being a cold asshole.
Not even autistic. Just a lot of deep seated mental issues that I don't want to put on anyone else. I'll just keep being a hermit and hope that my degree will get me the job I want so I don't have to live in poverty for the rest of my life.
The opposite. I spent age 18-25 travelling and partying and banging girls. Now I'm almost 30 and just now starting college and trying to get a career going and I feel a decade behind everyone else my age. All the partying and drugs just pushed me away from studying or being healthy.
>hurrr but the memories and experiences
Yeah I have some funny stories about getting drunk in a country I don't live in, big fucking deal.
Friends aren't permanent, girls aren't permanent, memories are pointless, as soon as these "experiences" end they become completely meaningless. Literally the BEST thing you can do for your life is study, get a career, excersize, and lock yourself in your room in the meantime.
>Literally the BEST thing you can do for your life is study, get a career,
That sounds terrible. Is this really why we live life? Just to spend most of it being miserable so a fraction of it doesn't have to be?
Not really. I try not to have the "grass is greener" notion. I recognize that even if it had been the other way I'd regret choosing that over choosing to enjoy my free time as I wanted to, so it balances out.
Is it a life /well/ wasted or a life well /wasted/.
I regret wasting time futiley pursuing social interaction and bonds when I could have just been enjoying my loneliness instead.
Being a useless human being is terrible, and believe me you will feel it if you don't develop some skills. I know it's hard to see as a NEET but believe it or not having skills and purpose in your life is the source of self worth and meaning. Becoming a grown man past your prime who's as useless as a child is a thousand times worse torture to the soul than having to get a job I promise
>a thousand times worse torture to the soul than having to get a job I promise
That sounds like some kind of wagie trick
I regret not talking to someone about my social anxiety more than anything.
Nah. I'd play wow after the gym until my qt 3.14 Aryan GF was finished at hockey practice. Then I'd eat her sweaty pussy and fuck her like 4 times in an hour. High school is rad when your parents are never home in the evening.
Yeah its all a trick user. You'll absolutely love yourself when you look in the mirror and see grey hair and wrinkles and are still living with your now elderly parents leeching off them.
uh..
nah, not really. I didn't convert to complete shut-in untill many years after high school
Fuck you
I wish I could've done that. Parents sent be to a goddamn boarding school and I spent the entire time getting the shit kicked out of me. I did have a roommate who had pic related on his Mac, tho. It was kind of fun I guess
The other extreme gives you the same feeling my dude. I spent those same years working towards a great career, doing scientific and clinical research as well as community service, presenting at conferences, and getting published in journals, but I feel just as behind everyone else my age as you, since I have practically no social experience to speak of besides acting professional and having a few geeky friends.
Balance between the two extremes is the true key.
No.
I still do that.
no, but I regret spending any time at all on this board.
same
No. I'm glad I never became a normalfaggot.
no
only thing i miss is sleeping for 2 hours in math
Kind of. The one time I tried to go to a party with my friends, the guy hosting the party said I couldn't come. Cried for at least three hours, that was also the last time I remember really being sad, probably because all of my decisions are made on the basis of whether or not a situation could possibly make me feel any kind of emotion and I avoid situations where that might happen. So for the rest of high school I just played video games so there was no possibility of me feeling bad emotions ever again.
Every single day
What I would give to go back and do it all again
he's saying that creating a stable foundation for your adult life is really important. you don't want to be 40 and not even be able to wipe your ass or afford basic medical care, do you?
Not at all. People are shit and the world is shit.
Nope. Normalfags wouldn't want me to leave my room anyway so it's a win-win.
I can't really imagine a life without having ten years of retarded internet bullshit stuffed in my brain
Imagine someone showing you galo sengen and your only thought being "that's weird but whatever"
This is the unknowing hell that the normalfag lives every day. Be grateful that divine providence graciously allowed you to avoid such a fate.
>spend your time getting drunk and doing drugs with your classmates who you only put up because you have to spend half of your day with them in a glorified day care for teenagers
or
>spend your time playing vidya you like and having fun without having to intoxicate yourself because everyone else is doing it
I'd rather stay a NEET than be a normalfag. Also, you can be successful and play videogames, I'm just a lazy piece of shit who hates working.
None of my friends played vidya, so I'd just play by myself when there weren't much going on. There was a group that did play them a bunch, but they would go out of their way to be recluses rather than just getting along with everyone. e.g. throwing an anti-prom party instead of going to prom.
Not really, played this with my cousins a lot
I was so far gone, I skipped both my junior and senior proms to play video games. Smash Melee instead of the senior one. Not a single regret.
I wish I played video games more
All the normalfag shit is equally hollow. Having a small circle of close irl is about all you need. The only reason I attempt having a job is to not burden my parents.
Your life is an expirence. Presumably the studying and career is to then have the purchasing power to live Cindy and have more expiernces you can enjoy. Over worrying about career causes a nasty loop where you wake up one day and realized you worked and worked and never did anything else. For you maybe it’s a binary choice. I’m either partying and wasting this time or I’m working which is the real eyes on the prize. Not a healthy outlook desu. Also, friends and girls do last as long as you take the time to forge those relationships correctly and organically. I’ve had the same two best friends and same girlfriend for over 15 years. I put in the time and effort to ensure I kee them for the next 60 hopefully. I haven’t done a days work in over ten years. I regret nothing.
