nosfedamus Posted May 16, 2017 Posted May 16, 2017 Hello there, I guess I am doing this. I have been playing games ever since I was like 8, I am 19 now. I tied to quit a while back but I just half-assed it, I lasted a week or so. I don't think that games are the worst of my vices, but I have to start somewhere and games seem like a good place to start because they have been my vice for the longest time. I was always an outcast and games helped me when I was feeling alone, I avoided a lot of suffering thanks to them and I am grateful for that. But times change, people change and what once worked now doesn't.And I am in a better position, I am not so weird anymore, I am getting myself sorted out, thanks to Dr. Jordan B Peterson ( seriously recommend you watch his youtube vidoes, he is a professor of psychology and has some really great insights) watching hours of his videos made me realize that I cant go on like this, wasting my time away like a slave to entertainment.I have missed a lot of opportunities because of games. I still remember the time when I was 15 and instead of going out with my friend and picking up girls I stayed home playing mass effect. I was obsessed with those games. I became very socially inept, my social anxiety is quite high, I don't have any other interests other than games, internet porn, drugs. But I am willing to do what it takes to get myself on the right track. I have a rough plan for my future and I sort of know what I want to do with my life. So now, as doctor Peterson would say, I am going to try to slay the dragon, to embody the archetype of hero, fix myself and try to help others around me. Wish me luck
Cam Adair Posted May 16, 2017 Posted May 16, 2017 Big fan of Dr. Jordan B. Peterson as well. Love that he was able to help you break out of the cycle.
