I have been seeking comfort in the Internet and Gaming lately. I remember that I was the most wild kid in class when I was 10-12. Than, I was diagnozed with Aspergers... [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspergers_syndrom ]
Than... It went down hill from there...
Now I sit alone, with no friends, in front of a PC, holding a cookie with my left hand, turning on some music, and relax...
For what else could I do?

Real life sucks and I don't like going outside. I think that's the nice summery of it.deathbydeath said:
Also, it's the same as this, minus the wild kid part, being diagnosed with the syndrome when 12/13 (I was diagnosed around 5 or 6) and I don't eat cookies. Also, I've always looked for comfort with the internet and gaming, it's nothing new.iLikeHippos said:
Well, this is odd. It says I posted, but I can't see my post here...I'll try again and hope my old post doesn't pop up. If it does, I'll just edit this to ask for this to be deleted.
Edit: So as soon as I posted this, my old post appeared. Could someone deleted this post? I'm sorry about this.

I'm an eternal outsider, who prefers the company of complete strangers who doesn't need to (and can't) see my face or really know me at all. Rather than the people who've seen me and maybe even talked to me face to face. And most discussions here are relevant to my interest.
I'm a college student who is unsure of what direction he should take in his life, who has been dealing with constant stress, who has been dealing with reoccurring panic attacks, who sometimes feels like he doesn't belong, who has no idea what to do with his life.
Of course, I'm going to escape from reality!

I know technically everyone is an "emo", but I'm just going by what society has turned that word's meaning into. And I'm not talking about how people dress or in what groups they hang. Certain elements on my clothing style are kind of emo'ish, but I'm actually an extremely optimistic person, even though my life should've traumatized me pretty much, I've gotten over and above it far easier than anyone else who'd have gone through the same things.Zeithri said:
Also, my life sucks, as I said before, just like yours does. And I'm in the same situation: there's nothing I can do right now. Even though to fully explain it would take a lot of time, patience and typing, my future currently seems very bright. Especially in comparison.
Because my fucked up sexuality means I'll never be able to have a normal relationship, and my parents desperately want grandkids when I'm older. It's really creepy when they talk about it...
And I struggle with motivation, so I don't know if I'll ever be able to get and hold a job. Too nervous around new people to not act like an idiot in the interview anyway.
So I play games, post here, and watch movies, trying to escape from what's quite probably the only part of my life that I'll enjoy.

No matter who you are or how awesome you think your life is, life sucks. Period. Either you have no money or you have no conscious.
I'm going to have to drag myself through two more miserable, lonely years of high school, go to college, likely be even more miserable there, then get a shitty job and probably be miserable there, too.
But, then again, I'm a teenager, so the angst and the depression and the like is... Probably natural.
I got here through Zero Punctuation, and well, it's a games forum. I like reading up on the news and stuff. To say it is escapism is a bit too much though.
To kill time
However, I rarely find myself immersed in ANYTHING nowadays, like my mind is and forever will be rooted in reality. I can't focus on video games or movies, can't just sit there and read a book, can't just chill and daydream... It pisses me off, because time feels like it crawls by for me, and it's like nothing I do can make it go by faster.

I honestly have to have at least one forum addiction in my life at a time. The escapist was where I ended up after the last one. I've loved it here since, so I stay.
To have fuuuuuuuuuun.
That and I've made good friends here and outside of racking up a massive phone bill, this is my only means of contacting them. Oh, and I've also got a couple of User-Groups to keep in check.
