Okey oppe here goes

I can understand your situation as I myself have experienced a very similar sentiment. This for me happened in high school and was bullied a fuck ton for being the recluse video game kid, but I always wanted to be happy.

One thing I am completely sure about is that my situation improved once I started analyzing it. I tried to think down to the bottom of my problem. I had a "why am I like this" approach. And I really started thinking. I had confidence problems that really hurt me a lot, and while comparing yourself to others is bad, this is exactly what helped me. I tried to understand why other are doing well and why I (think) I'm doing bad.

The more thought I put into this I understood that having the right attitude and people around you can really help. I had an old childhood friend to rely on to try and get out more. And I tried to draatically improve my attitude. There is no easy way out, and only you can help yourself. Sure you can fake it til you make it but it will only ever get you so far, so to instill a positive attitude in yourself you need to start to genuinely believe it.

You need to think long and hard about what you value in life. I love vidya too and it's still a part of my life. But things that I loved about vidya I started to incorporate in my personal life. I like the companionship, so I started working on my people skills and making friends. I try to pick people to make great friends, people I can relate to and care about. To relate it to vidya, all these aspects you like about video games you can through work and time, translate to real life and you will hopefully in time feel more happy and fulfilled.

Also try to experiment with activities and hobbies because there are things you probably don't know you like. Like games? Wanna get better with people? Why not try a board game club?

Also when you try to accomplish your goal, try to think about your motivations behind it. The more logical and clearer your reasoning is, I think the easier it will be for you to stay on track with your goals because you will have already thought the implications through and now you understand how positively pursuing your goals can be and how detrimental it can be to not do so.

This sounds a little vague, but for example, I wanted to get /fit/ to feel better about myself, improve my self esteem and be objectively more attractive. These are pretty grounded reasons as to why I did it and reminding myself has helped me stay on track.

>Depressed
you mean sad right

>What should I do?
accomplish your goals, but one at a time. if you ever think "damn, i'm too tired to get up", get up. you will be discouraged to have those thoughts because of inner will, and if the lack of willpower is your problem, you should consult to a counselor to get in place. gaming is ok.
