What are you escaping from?

[Gurk]

I come to the Escapist to escape from boredom.

What? I'm allowed to not have a tragic background!

Aha! You will forever be alienated!

 

[Fiz_The_Toaster]

I'm escaping from my shitty loner childhood that still likes to make itself known and from my current situation where it seems like nothing ever goes right and I get the feeling I'm stuck where I am.

Fun times, fun times.

 

[Count Igor]

Lonliness...
Someone... just hold me.

 

[Shuswah_Noir]

I'm on here procrastinating about sewing. But I have a lot to have done by next Sunday. So I should stop posting and start working.

 

[BoredDragon]

I'm not sure I've got that much to complain about, but I'm a freshmen in college and FUCK is it hard. In high-school I didn't hardly have to do any studying at all. Now I have VERY quickly found out that if I don't study I am screwed.

edit: Also, don't EVER take a class at 8:00 in the morning when you always go to bed at 2:00 am. It will fuck you up

[Queen Michael]

I'm escaping boredom by reading manga.

 

[TheEndlessSleep]

I think i'm only running away from boredom.

Unless im in denial about something?

 

[Sprinal]

Human Stupidity

that is what I am escaping from.

That and the annoying preachers who knock on my door every so often.

 

[Vault101]

Loneliness, and not really being sure of what I want out of life.

replace lonlieness with boredom and yeah Im the same

I dont tend to get lonley and I always have my family there I supose

 

[keve4433]

Loneliness, school, family. Pretty much everything has been said already. x3 Trying to not take my anxiety meds as much, it's been pretty rough.

 

[Queen Michael]

At the moment, a friend of mine is helping me escape from lack of Pocky.

 

[ThisIsSnake]

a mundane life where I can't be immortal, have super powers, slay mythical creatures, solve every problem with a huge sword/blaster rifle, everyone doesn't look like perfection, true freedom and a good hat.

 

[Betancore]

Real life and all of its mundanity, pretty much. What else is the internet for? It's something larger than life and therefore infinitely more interesting than what I experience in real life every day.

 

[BlackSaint09]

A rotten past thats really all my fault, a bad present thats all my fault and loneliness thats pretty much my fault...

 

[Goodluf]

I'm escaping more or less, myself. Or rather the utter failure I seem to feel like these days. Got no goal in life nor do I know what should I do with my life. I mean I'm studying at a university, but that's only to get some education for a real job, any job, I feel like I'm doing this just becuase of my sense of duty and maybe pressure from society in general. Got some friends to hang out with sometimes, but never had a girlfriend...

All of this seems to be connected to my all around laziness and lack of motivation. It's like, the mind is weak so the flesh isn't willing either or something.

I mean, I see the normal life ahead of me: graduating, getting a job, perhaps a girfriend/wife, maybe getting kids, growing old and in the end, passing away as your crippled, sick body gives in, without really having done anything worthwhile. Depressing thought, these be.

Games and the internet provide a nice little distraction from this feeling of utter incompetence and meaningless existence, for now. Starting to get a bit worried on how I will end up doing in the end...

I'm escaping reality. Seriously, reality sucks. Have you seen it lately? Just a friggin fiasco that is.

I hear ya. Sometimes I wonder what's the point in doing anything. It's not like anything I do will matter in the grand scheme of things.

 

[Amethyst Wind]

My lack of motivation. I do a whole lot of different things, but don't currently have anything I'm passionate about. Currently I'm halfway around the world from home for 6 months to try to find myself. I'm still fluxing but had a bad session a few days ago where I felt seriously emotional.

Loneliness, and not really being sure of what I want out of life.

This. Also the abject terror of being unable to motivate myself, resulting in me dropping behind in uni work, resulting in me consuming internet media to stop thinking about the piles of paper looming over me.

First world problems basically. If I wasn't part of the privileged few I'd either not be cripplingly lazy or I'd be on the streets.

This too. Although just because nothing you do will matter in the grand scheme of things, doesn't mean there's no point in doing stuff. Everything you do is vitally important to you, however that may not be immediately apparent. Ask whether you want to die, if no then do you want to live comfortably, if yes then unfortunately you have to do something. You can take this further. If you want to live comfortably you need a job. If you want to like the job you do then you have study/work to get that job. So long as you want to live you can theoretically extrapolate the rest.

Now I know all this and I vehemently want to live but I still don't do shit.

 

[Palademon]

Boredom and loneliness. Also I'm a repetitive person so when I'm a fan of something it becomes routine. Also people are often annoying, and I have no reason to go outside. Nothing agaisnt going outside, just mostly no reason to.
