One thing that really sucks, and isn't talked about much because of how insular you get after 10+ years of hard NEETing, is how we sort of bet on the future being better for the passive consumer and observer. Video games were going to be this revolutionary technology and they stalled out. Stopped growing up with us. I spend most of my time playing old games. I expected to be keeping up with video games as my coping mechanism that is also tethered to the present day. But I completely checked out of them in the 2010s.
I have autism and knew at the age of 9 that I was not going to complete the ABCs of life like my peers and that we are only interacting with each other because of an artificial level playing field. Once we became adults that would be it, they would go forward and I would retreat back into a softlocked childhood. It sounds depressing and in a way it is having a girlfriend that became my wife and then the mother of my children is a beautiful dream but it is not aligned with my lived in reality. I'm able to enjoy my life by keeping my ambitions and delusions low.
