What are you escaping from?

[CrazyCapnMorgan]

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.

There is a point, but people have to realize what it means to be human again. The simplest way I view our world and humanity can't be put into words - it'd be too long and complicated. But I know of a theme song that almost perfectly describes, without words, how I feel about our future and the direction we are heading...

 

[Togs]

my inability to cope or act "normally" in even the most basic social situations.

 

[EllEzDee]

Boredom. I play games to escape that boringness.

 

[CarpathianMuffin]

Family, the future, my own rampant paranoia that threatens to consume me at any time...

But I run right back, hit it with a sword for awhile, and run away again to replenish my health and switch to a mace.

 

[godevit]

Well if you seen Yes-man Its kinda like that I just don't think i worthwhile.

 

[HardkorSB]

Myself.
However, I'm kind of tired from all the escaping so I'm just going to let myself catch me and see how that turns out.

 

[RastaBadger]

The constant switch between being lonely and being surrounded by... generally... unpleasant... people. (Why did I give up swearing for lent?) Also a consistent lack of the ability to explore the universe.

 

[Wewt]

My life is pretty great actually, so the only thing I escape from is boredom


Edit: wow, ITT: Tortured souls

 

[Scarim Coral]

Pretty much boredom or my current situation in life in general. I know when to keep myself entertain or when I need to my works.

 

[Captain Pirate]

The fact that, for once in my life I've actually found somethign worth living for: This girl.
I love her more than anything in the world, and what annoys me is that I'm not gonna get many chances to see her regularly to develop our current relationship so I can eventually ask her out.
I mean, we're friends, and we get on well, but I just haven't really seen her all that much. I went on a holiday for a week with her and a ton of other people, but after that I haven't really talked or even seen her much, so it's just been really hard knowing that there's not much I can do except wait, and persevere.

Still, apart from that, my newfound love has given me new, true motivation in life; to lose weight, get fit, do well in exams, get a job, basically everything.

Hey, who turned out the lights?

 

[Death_Korps_Kommissar]

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

-hugs-
Don't worry, I know exactly how you feel =|

Also anyone have tips for studying?
As I am fucked....

 

[Woodsey]

I like playing games in my down time? And by down, I mean spare.

Maybe not with you, but I can't help but wonder if people on here need to chill on the melodrama just a tad.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

Responsibility.

And all those fucking anime suggestion threads.

 

[DJ_DEnM]

My fat.

Whenever I make a custom character in a game I make him as skinny and buff as possible...

 

[[.redacted]]

I'm not escaping, I'm just enjoying myself and stewing.

There is a wall between what's inside my head and the world, it's just that 'scapist falls inside that wall.

 

[EHKOS]

Everything. Despite my best attempts I am becoming cynical. I can't help but feel it was built into us. 18, no job, no skills, dropout, divorced family, money problems. But hey, fuck all that I just crafted a refined metal, three more until I get my Juju!

 

[Cymen]

The fear that life might be meaningless and I will be forgotten as soon as I am dead without having any impact on the world.

 

[Someone Depressing]

The fact that my life is just a big shamble of Eating M&M's, playing Video-Games, and Drawing Fan-Art of Sean Bean and Natalie Portman Line-Dancing in a Stripper's club, and the fact, that I, Will never have any inpact on the world, and I'll probally be forgotten, and my family'll probally sell all my stuff, and Own my house, and have kids there, not caring the fact that their son had accidentaly hung himself on a door handle in that very house.

A.K.A what the guy who Voiced that twat from House of the Dead 2 thought of after he realised that his career had stopped after one, measly, pointless role.

 

[zhoominator]

Right now? Dirac notation. I fucking HATE Dirac notation, though I have a feeling it's going to be vital now that we're getting into "spin". Bollocks.
