Video games are the sole thing in which I find joy

Get out there and talk to people. The only person that this habit is going to hurt is you

>I'm 20. Been playing vidya since I was 5 therefore it has definitely grown into me. It especially helped me during my teen years to distance myself from all the negativity in school etc.
Same here OP. But I did a 180 at 21 and now I can handle people and women well. Do as >>18064464 said, just go out there and meet people.

>I always look down on everyone
That is a bad frame of mind, and you know it. You need to open up to people more. You're just thinking this way because you're afraid of getting hurt.

Start a geeky hobby. They will hit similar spots to videogames but with added human interaction.

Board games can hit the problem-solving and point-earning part of video games. Roleplaying and anime can help if you play for the story/characters. Go to cons and shit and make some friends.

But where do I go? I have no idea where to start.

>>18064472
I play boardgames with some peers who are in the same shut-in position as me. The thing is, I want to open a new page and discover new things to me. I'm really exhausted of the geek culture to be honest.

Well, your friends could help you make the jump. None of them has something going on in their lives? Some hobby or club or something that might interest you?

They are even in a worse state than me. I in comparison want to change things while they are just ok with sitting at home depressed. I've even tried to discuss the change with them, but they just don't have any guts at all.

Ok, then keep it simple. Join something that happens once a week. Maybe a class? Theater/drama class? Or do some volunteer work.

>>18064508
I've been thinking on something related with music. Always had somewhat of an interest for that.

>>18064536

But those aren't usually group efforts...

Maybe if there was some kind of "community orchesta" or something nearby it could work. But a one-on-one guitar class won't solve your situation haha.

Do you play something already?

>>18064545
A lack of socialisation is just a part of my problem. I also want to develop new hobbies which would naturally drive me out of my room.

Ok, then. Learning an instrument could open doors after a while. If that speaks to you, go ahead.

Shit dude, I used to be like you. Now games feel like a chore.
What you want to do is research what in life you want to do, then throw yourself at it head first without giving yourself time to talk yourself out of it. You'll feel overwhelmed at first, but the only way to actually learn anything new is by doing it yourself instead of reading about it on the internet. Don't be afraid of consequences or failure, you will take something away from your experience no matter how it goes.
