I'm not sure if he's been peer pressured into this but I don't understand why someone who I spent so much of my life around all of a sudden makes such a turn on his life.
Or the better question is: why don't I want to be like everybody else? Why am I happy with what I have? I never considered getting a wife and having a family because it feels like it's gonna make my life worse than it currently is.

All I want is to play videogames and watch anime. Every time I proposed a game to play together with my online friends they are too busy or get bored pretty quick.
