do video games help you with loneliness?

No.

They help you forget about it but they won't cure it

>>712954578
will everything be okay?

you guys help with my loneliness

Video games, like any hobby, can help you connect with groups of people who share your interests, and in this sense they help combat loneliness.
But this brings some problems, such as all these young people growing up in totally dismantled societies who end up being influenced by psychopaths and complete perverts online. This explains 99% of the trans phenomenon.

No and that's why I barely play video games

no, but it helps distract you from your loneliness and that's the next best thing

no

>>712954542 (OP)
I can only assume that people that play vidya for anything but the love of the game don't in fact actually like vidya

>>712955586
is it okay to do that?

Kinda. I have a couple of close friends and video games helps in the time I'm not hanging out with them. Not that I want to hang out with people every day anyways.

>He feels loneliness

>>712954542 (OP)
Truthfully, no. I've played with online friends for years, and I have a lot of relatives and talk with some of my cousins regularly. They're all married and have kids, I know they won't change in their vidya behavior, but they aren't lonely either. They have someone they can touch and kiss, that gives such in return. We are inevitably social creatures and we must go out and interact with actual eyeballs from someone that smells and looks human. Companionship is a great solution, but the hard truth is you have to be friends with yourself first to succeed. Knowing that you lay in bed all day, doomscrolling, playing video games excessively is recognizing the problem, but not solving it. Motivation is artificial, but discipline is crucial. Find a passion that isn't video games so you can grow more spiritually, and one that allows you to meet new people.

probably not, but everyone has their vices. I'd rather be addicted to video games than be addicted to drugs or something

>>712954542 (OP)
Video games are fun. They are worlds I am able to superficially interact with, often in ways I could not in real life. They are interesting experiences for me. I'm not lonely, but I love to explore and discover and create Etc.

Thanks anon

>find passion
could you suggest some as a starter? what's yours?

I haven't felt loneliness this past month, as a matter of fact I've been feeling great
Not doing a whole lot with my neet time and only beat 3 games, but I'm enjoying the laziness and binging yt vids

What is loneliness even meant to feel like?
I'm not even sure if I'm lonely
Either way, I can be happy on my own

nobody in this thread drives or operates anything, huh

>>712958271
Used to, especially in the field while in service
Not anymore though, cause city traffic is too much shit happening at the same time and my brain can't compute all that shit

>>712958271
What did he mean by this?

>>712958581
cool, and sorry bout that. i dont trust other drivers either. But after years of vidya and then getting to drive and operate some things, i realized the two are kinda the same from a certain point of view

>>712959123
You meet people while doing so
In fact traffic can make you want to be alone again

>>712959397
Ah, I see where you're coming from, anon. Also, caring about your vehicle can also ease male loneliness, since you bond with it. And even though it's just a machine you both go through a process of understanding each other.
After a while you realize that this machine might actually have a soul like you do.

>>712959439
I've never met anyone in traffic, the only positive interaction I've ever had in traffic was when I got caught at the light singing Sweet Caress at full volume and some dudes thought it was funny.

>>712954542 (OP)
I genuinely do not get lonely despite never seeing people IRL. Never had a desire to start a relationship either. I have really good (online) friends I regularly talk to and do stuff with which probably fills the void some other people have, but in regards to real life? No desires.

>>712955716
Did he really put his weight on a fucking cue stick?

>>712959953
ehhhh, it's more if i don't take care of it i don't work as much as i can, for stuff and vidya

>>712960421
