Recently I really started enjoying playing videogames. Mostly league of legends, sometimes some offline masterpiece like hollow knite, outer wilds or ultrakill. It was getting harder and harder to keep enjoying it with my depression and anhedonia. But weed and 2cb (mild psychadelic) realy helped me to get past that and be completely reset the novelty. I feared it makes me into junkie, but it's more like the opposite. And at worse if I build tollerance I can take break for a week and I'm back to baseline. When I play I'm super focused, creative and instead of playing just for rank I play for fun.

I might not ever have a girlfriend. Almost no friends or social life. Many people look down on me for not being successful, having high paying job or much status or for my social anxiety and it used to make me feel so bad. But now I'm finally able not to give a shit.

Yes life is shit and I'm as unlucky as it gets, it can be incerdibly sad and painful. But if I imagine it as a glass with a drop of cocacola. I can either focus on the vast emptiness or take the drop of cola and enjoy it as much as possible. Becuase what causes me to not be able to enjoy stuff like videogames is mostly because it can make person feel guilty and you think what others would think, am I doing enough, shouldn't I be better, shouldn't I do something more important.

I say fuck it all! Enjoy it anyways! Who cares about toxic people think. So many people are so full of shit and act super important. They spend most time just status signaling and thinking about hierarchy in their friendsgroup (although they are not self aware they are even doing it) instead of having fun. Who cares! You wanna be a gamer be a gamer, it might piss off some girls that only care about make up and clothes, but that's just bonusšŸ˜‚

In my belive system I'd say my conciousness probably survives in some form for ever. Because whether is caused by energy or mass, time is infinite(kinda) so eventually the same atoms forming my brain will in few trillions years be brain of some 4d alien or what. So I think life is simply an endless ride with tremendous suffering. But you can either cry about it or giggle like a happy idiot and focus on the good stuff. One of those options is clearly better.
I like my job even if its not most high paying, I like working out, like gaming and walks. I'm cool, happy and devilishly handsome xd, what more is there to want :)

Games are a great achievement of humanity, without games I would probably be dead by now. It's games that have drawn me my whole life. Games are one of the most compelling reasons for me to endure everything that happens in my life. Not all people should die in the same bed with someone in old age, not all people should have friends for the rest of their lives. I think,
Society has long imposed "successful success" as the goal of life, but if "stupid" and "childish" things are enough for us to feel our success, I think that's right.

This terrifies me. I want it to be truly over but that strikes me as implausible.

Re: your general message, I'm 35 and I struck out hard in my youth. If I'm going to survive I have to learn to be content with a low status life. It's very frustrating. But maybe I can live in the present and find contentment. Like the bathroom cleaner protagonist of Perfect Days. That is a great movie.

Holding out hope that there are happy pills that can help my mood while I decide to put the past behind me and say "lesson learned." But man. No one is gonna give my youth back. The regrets dominate my thoughts.

I'm way past the "loser/succesful" mindset. Videogames have nothing to do with it btw, it's just a silly stereotype, specially nowadays

I hope for you too. Status is just a game, the stupidest of them all. It is super hard to stop giving a shit about it, but it's super worthed. Regrest and guilt are good for nothing. People that insult you are good for nothing. It's all just toxic shit and best to ignore it as much as possible

This is so real, radical acceptance saved me when I thought it wouldn't work. Now it's a way of life for me.
