It would probably lead to both a better life and also psychosis

I think you should leave your house more. A 15 minutes walk would probably clear your mind and you'd realize how silly this idea actually is.

It won't lead to psychosis. It's literal schizophrénie.

found the frenchman

im not OP but to play devils advocate, isn't he just suggesting framing life as if it were a video game. We basically do imagine dialogue options when talking to different people, and we do grind stats for our character just like runescape. i think it will lead to a better life because one can only pretend something is an rpg for so long before it just becomes a natural way to respond to things.

I literally did this for getting in shape
I set up a RuneScape leveling system where it goes 1-99 and I have different experience points for a gym session, walk, run, or eating in a calorie deficit for the day

Right now I’m level 45 so I’ll probably die well before hitting 99

It's more complicated than that. Compare your life's progression to that of an RPG. How much do you need to grind? What do you need to do to gather the materials you need? How difficult is the zone you're in where these items are needed? Now thing about this in terms of real life where you don't have stat upgrades or magical abilities to aid you in this process. What do you have to do to achieve what you need? How much time will it take? It can't be done in a few hours, or a day, or weeks. Unlike a game, there's a real chance that no amount of grinding will ever get you where you need to be. Life isn't a game and pretending that it is will put you through unnecessary hardship.

if it helps you cope with stress & get to a better point in life, it'll help in the long run
