panic or anxiety even if your mind and mood are at a low level of resilience.

What games often don't do is guide their players back into views and habits
that aid in overall life satisfaction. Most forms of human development involve
struggling with more and more things - but in a liberated sense, where you are
taking it on because you want to grow and challenge yourself. The escapist
fantasy can't do that - which doesn't mean they shouldn't exist, but society
is conflicted with how they should be used.

yeah, the majority of my male friends are addicted to gaming and living in an
alternate reality; it is something I have struggled with as well. Though I
have always held a job and currently am enrolled in college in pursuit of my
B.S. Comp sci degree, I would rather relax at home and game on my PS4/PC than
go out to bars or clubs. Every year I spend hundreds to thousands of dollars
on new games, hardware, monitors and whatever comforts that enhance that
experience.

Many of us don't see the point in chasing marriage, higher education, careers,
relationships or being a homeowner. The dating game in most cities is abysmal,
and the majority of attractive single ladies are high end escorts, sugar
babies and or gold diggers. There are many factors in society that has led to
that. Sure I can spend a thousand or two on a nice watch, but for what? I can
get a high NUC PC and huge monitor for that price. The same applies to a
luxury car, sure I can afford it, but I would rather walk, take the train/bus
or uber, so that I space out and listen to podcasts, youtube or game while
commuting.

Phillip Zimbardo wrote a recent book on the afflictions that young men are
facing today. It seems dauntless. Sometimes, I too ask myself if the chase is
worth it. My gut feeling is that it's not.
