I regret being a child with hobbies like every other child. Every hobby was some stupid Exquisite Talent that I had to be filmed and shoved down everyone’s throats for. Everything I enjoyed was only for the smartest intellectuals and I had to be filmed and interviewed for that as well. I literally was the equivalent of Elon Musk and Trump, everyone was so tired of hearing about what random mundane thing I accomplished this time. But I was also the asshole for wanting to be normal as I’m passing up a rare privilege everyone else wished they had.
I also regret losing interest in everything and being a literal zombie staring at walls when I wasn’t sleeping as that was proof I had some stupid disorder and needed help. I really should have just been euthanized instead. All lives do not matter.
Single player games and family board games are childish and/or associated with that stupid disorder. All the other board games are pretentious and associated with smart people and are uncommon enough to be associated with that stupid disorder. Playing one of my old favorite single player games was triggering enough for me to make this post. I give up. Nothing is fun anymore.
Is that the way you feel or think others feel? Or is that what people are telling you? Cause none of that is true based on my personal experience. No one thinks I’m childish for playing games. Especially because nearly everyone plays something these days. And the only thing I’ve ever experienced with board games is people telling me they don’t like the kind I play. Most people don’t even talk about board games, let alone how they view others that play them.
Your experience could be different but if people you know talk about these things that way, you should find some new people.
