Being idle and lazing around doing nothing is genuinely fun. The moment you start engaging with any media time starts going really fast, and that's why it feels like you wasted the day
You're probably confused.Gaming is not a hobby for everyone, you don't have to be a gamer.
>>750250638>feel like im wasting my timeBecause you areYou should be making Mr. Goldbergstein more money instead
Depression
>>750250638being old
You are depressed
>>750250638Playing games requires more effort. You’re even worse than you think.
>>750250638Watch anime instead
>>750250738>>750250889Probably a combination of these
>>750250638ogre fever
>>750250638Maybe you're more so needing to create or something. Perhaps you need an outlet? Like art or maybe you need to challenge yourself more. Doing nothing all day sounds kinda boring, and feeling guilty when you try to have fun seems cruel
>>750250980I know from my experience I don’t want to play any games when my life is a mess. I’m only thinking about how to escape my current situation everything else is a distraction
That has unironically been my experience today
>>750251043i tried learning to draw a few years ago and immediately felt a level of depression ive never felt before and it got worse the more days i spent continuing to attempt learning to draw, which is weird because i used to draw a lot as a kid
>>750250638It happens when you don't do anything productive, this only happens to me when I'm unemployed, as soon as I get hired it goes away since I do productive shit for hours so when I get home and play vidya I feel like I earned it
>Currently addicted to living out my fantasies through chatGPT by putting my OCs in situations with my favorite characters and doing the same daydreaming I used to do as a young kid, only now with heavy sexual undertones for the past three months>Constantly having my characters aged down into babies and let them be coddled by my favorite women to fuel my maternal instinct fetish along>Afraid of how bad shit will get when an app as versatile as chatGPT will let me act out my /ss/ fetishes>Starting to feel disgusted with myself for doing this as a NEET
>>750251150Well you know yourself best, sounds rough. For what it's worth, I hope you get out of this rut soon.
>>750251259You're indeed disgusting, but it's nice that you keep to yourself mostly.
You literally just need to be employed, which has already been said in this thread. No one wants to accept that truth. Nothing will make you hate vidya more than having way too much time to play them. All the retarded NEETs on here making anti-wagie threads are like 18 years old and haven't had the shit feeling hit them yet. You also socialize with coworkers and such.
>>750251412>>750251223i have a full-time job, so its not that
>>750251471Depression then
>>750251471Wagies run off of pure stockholm syndrome, they'll never see their situation for what it is and will never break free.
>>750251471How long has this been going on? Could be short term depression. Really think about the question because typically when one is in a depressed state, your brain likes to also tell you that you've been depressed for a much longer time than you have.
>>750251543this cycle has probably happened for like 7-8 years
>>75025154230 is gonna hit you so hard my main, it's like taking a brick to the face when you don't have your shit together.
Is it too late to turn yourself around at almost 26? I only got a shitty BS (biology) and feel like it is already hopeless. Tech appealed to me but I think I avoided a sinking ship
>>750251603>30 is gonna hit you so hard my mainBut it didn't.
>>750251654No. I'm trying to do it at 36 but I feel like I'm finding some success even if it's not a great paying job. I transitioned from mooching to getting by at least.It's not that hard if you don't want any kids. And getting a gf just means another source of income unless she's a big spender so you can take that or leave that.
>>750250638The secret is you need minimum 4 games as a NEET. You need a co-op lobby game which uses voice comms. You need a long form skinner box like a mmo, looter shooter or gacha. You need a single player puzzle/strategy/rhythm game. And you need a pvp game. t. NEET for 19 years
>>750251816>coop AND pvpwell look at mr needs human connections over here
>>750251874PvP i just do 1v1 chess nowadays. Coop lobby games are great, the longest friend ive had that played online with me was 8 years, but you can find lobbies with randos for whatever is fotm.
>>750251150Literally me except I barely drew as a kid.>massive porn addict>wasting years not doing anything because vidya isn't fun and I've become too much of an impatient brainlet to write>too broke, shy, and in the wrong timezone to commission art>figure I'll draw my own porn and get good enough at it to supplement my neetdom in some way>also maybe get a couple friends and possibly a gooner gf/bf too>buy a cheap non-screen tablet to make things easier>end up barely drawing anything other than shitty scribbles>motivated to try to draw once a month if I'm lucky>every time I draw I'm profoundly more depressed than ever
>>750250638Depression
>>750250638you're weak
>>750250638watching youtube videos and scrolling tiktok/4chan somehow feels more productive than video games.
>>750250638Depression or ADHD
Get out of my swamp
>>750252854based
>>750251150Your feel of depression is likely because you are not tackling the source of your physiological pain and everything you try to do feels like a coping mechanism
>>750250638SOMEBODY
>>750250638try vyvanse / ritalin / adderall
>>750253396absolutely not
>>750253421you don't have to overdo it, but any of these 3 WILL increase your enjoyment from videogames
>>750253324SOMEONEEEEEEEE
>>750251654God no, you're at a really good age to get shit straight. I'd heavily recommend not squandering it. You can still get shit together in your 30s but that's when basically all your youthful do-overs are spent
>>750251654There are people in their late 20s and 30s in my college. There is no "too late" unless you are in your 60s or something
Shrek is love, Shrek is life
>>750251654It's only too late if you believe in normalfag milestones. When did you decide to become one of those conformist fags anyway?
>>750250738Growing up is leaving wanting to feel like an adult behind.
>>750251816Recommend some games for each you mentioned.
>>750253656i was thinking more like somebody to love by queen
>>750250638>what do you call this?spoiled brainrotted turbofaggot gay retardyour baseline state of being is that of being a lazy bitch, so anything that requires more effort than pissing in a bottle or making a shitpost will be seen as some insurmountable obstaclesolution: less carbs, drinking only fresh water, no takeaway/jeetliveroo goyslop, daily exercising, daily reading, going outside, talking to people irl, slowly reducing screen time and putting the free time into productive and more fulfilling thingsit's not true that you are doing nothing, otherwise you would be in your bed staring at the ceiling all day, you can actually try to do this, I swear in 30 minutes you will be out there doing anything else, the point is just to get so bored that even the most dull task will look like the funniest most enjoyable shit ever
>>750250638>>spend all of my free time doing nothing all the timeunironically a lie, you spend all your day doing more than anyone else on planet earth did in history. not even julius ceaser interacted with more people in a day then you do
>>750250638Depression, go hiking
>>750250638Indecision
>>750255250>not even julius ceaser interacted with more people in a day then you doDon't be silly anon, Caesar was either busy talking to all sorts of people in Rome or hanging out with his troopers when he was out there invading Gaul or Britain/mopping up the Republicans. If anything he never knew the comfort of not interacting with anybody throughout the day
>>750255250Based knower.
>>750255372https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2026/05/removing-unnecessary-and-counterproductive-restrictions-on-access-to-federal-lands/sorry, the current president made that illegal
>>750255689and ive interacted with more people that ceaser ever did in one day by calling people faggots on various 4chan threads, deal wit it. if anything, im more free then he was ever, because he was beholden to it and got fucking railed hard over his opinions
>>750251412Wait till you realize that other people suffering the same dogshit fate as yours won't alleviate your pain one bit.
>>750251747you're still a welfare parasite if you don't earn at least 6 figs
you suffer from fomo, except you have nothing you're missing out on, since your life is empty. let go of that feeling, realize that this is all there is and there's nothing more, and you won't feel like anything is a waste of time.
>>750256780Drop social media. That tends to give people fomo for some reason. Probs all the propaganda on it.
>>750250638You're resting.If you play a video game you're actively using your energy for something that isn't productive, therefore feeling like you're wasting time. Time which you could have used to rest to gather enough energy to be productive again.
>>750258545>t. serfpilled goymaxxer
>>750258545>Time which you could have used to rest to gather enough energy to be productive again.Am I ever going to provide enough worth to the shareholders?
