....from Studying for a repeat exam I wasn't supposed to take in the first place, since it wasn't fully my fault that I flunked? I guess. It's little pathetic, I know.
What are you escaping from?

Stress. I like my job fine. I love my fiancee. I live comfortably, but I get stressed out.
Games, movies and music help me unwind. Not even a shooter player either, so it's not that "getting pent-up aggression out" thing. I actually can't stand them other than maybe Mass Effect. Relaxed and engaged, like a good book.

University work... for now. Prior to that it was avoiding making a decision on my life and im sure after that it will be to escape the daunting depression that is reality, job, bills, kids... I forget how miserable I am here in this house living with my parents when im immersed in game.
Just trying not to have to deal with other people in general, I suppose. Humanity has made a lot of things that make life easier, plumbing, electricity(well, harnessed), fire, etc. but so many things people do just don't help anyone and I don't wanna have to deal with it...
The horrible realisation that I will never achieve all of my goals, and probably won't achieve even most of them.
The whole 'escape' thing isn't working though, because that lesson is the only thing anyone ever teaches me.

I try to escape my life, the whole realisation that its a long boring uninteresting story in which i am screwed over by people i just want to be friends with. And its slowly destroying me turning me into a empty void with no care for anything anymore. Feels alot like i'm stuck in Groundhog day.
But thats more of my darker moments, i'm fairly happy at the moment. Still games and films give me something to focus on if i ever feel myself drifting into that dark zone. Its nice to have that.

The realization that none of us have any true worth and we're all going to die without achieving anything.
[Edit] Ahhh, that sounds depressing. Really, I am generally content these days but I have a natural predisposition to doom and gloom. Like most of the people here I'm in the middle of trying to figure out what I want to do with my life.

Hi guys, this is my first post. Seems to be quite an emotive thread and many of you seem to be in pain. I've always thought interacting with other people is an essential skill, that everyone should develop if they want to be happier (humans aren't naturally solitary creatures, but many live this way). I've always been a bit shy, but have managed to get on with most people well enough. I think its often best not to worry too much what others think and to ignore hurtful comments, especially from people you don't know.
I don't think anyone can truly escape from life, since playing games, watching films/TV and listening to music is all part of life (that have been created by people!). I suppose I'm not a very mystical/ spiritual person, I think most things will eventually be explained by science. I'm only 22 and am still a student, so I'm still quite inexperienced compared to some. I hope to work in the Games industry soon, since I have always loved games. I suppose I'm trying to 'escape' from boredom and sometimes lack of motivation, playing games is the best way to do this in my case. I hope I haven't bored anyone too much

I'm escaping a world where i cant fight and kill Minotaurs and steal their unicorn and ride it, Where i cant roam around in a mecha-suit using bottle caps as currency, where all that stands between peace and total world domination is a giant T-rex like nuclear missile controlling mecha thingy that gets defeated by a random dude with a bandana...
The world is boring and games give me the chance to battle it with a rake taped to a car battery. To leave my mediocre life behind and become an armoured soldier fighting alongside Nathan Fillion! I'll take games over reality thanks.... that or lego XD
