I'm too insecure and scared of failure/rejection to even try. I'm even scared about what would happen if some girl actually would take interest in me as I would have no idea what to do and scared about how my solitary life would change drastically as a result. I understand how stupid it is, I understand how it hurts me in long run but I'm still unable to overcome my fear. I live, bath and breathe fear, so long that I'm not sure if I could live differently.

And don't know what to do about it.

>more and more games being released with some sort of anti-tamper without full explanation on what exactly it does on your PC (and Denuvo is known for leaving files even after uninstall)
>pretty much any game with multiplayer component and even SP on some cases comes with kernel-level anti-cheat that counts as literal malware
>new games costing more and more, no longer morally right to buy them on release

I'm tired, /v/. I just want to play video games and have fun after day of work, I don't want to make my PC gaping security hole so everyone can potentially see my bank/work/medical information and login data, I don't want my PC and hard drives being constantly tasked with unnecessary calculations that wear them down.

Is there any hope left? I honestly don't know anymore.
