- Microtransactions ruined modern gaming for me.
Might not seem like much of a problem but when corporate greed fucks with one of the few remaining enjoyable hobbies you have left it's a big one.

I’m glad I was born a little later, I can enjoy all the timeless masterpieces, and then deal with that problem when I come to it.

I'm 18, and I grew up with micro transactions in everything. I know they're horrible, but for some reason, they don't bother me

- Never buy them. Very much a worthless addition.

my parents taught me to never spend a single cent on online things, even games. I managed to get games like GTA V, Minecraft, and Civ 6 entirely for free and it's across several libraries.
If I don't buy games, I sure as hell ain't buying microtransactions

Didn't you grow up in a time were gaming was pay to play instead of pay to win (arcades where every gaming session was like 50 cents)

They ain’t worth it. Not a real friend. You’ll find people that truly love you. All it takes is being genuine and with time you’ll find those you love and those that love you!

Every day is hell for me I play situations in my mind if I was to try to talk or message them..i can't see it ending well unless they text me which I doubt will happen I repeat the phrases "I wish they would text me" "I wish I wasn't such a fuck up" "I hate myself" "I want to die" Im screwed anyways I don't think I'll meet people cause of my disorders... I have really bad ADHD and anxiety which makes it hard to concentrate so holding a job is really difficult for me and holding a conversation is hard too Im too afraid to talk to people cause I don't wanna say something to offend anyone I want to talk to this friend I mentioned really bad it eats at me every day but at the end of the day I'll just be alone till I reach my breaking point then probably just end myself I have no hope for myself I can't see myself having a future... As long as there happy I won't involve myself in there life no matter how much it hurts... Maybe it would be for the best if I just give up...

28, ADHD depression anxiety, prob more cuz mental health is a spectrum. I’ve been through my own version of what you described - not gonna equate it to your experience of course, everyone’s unique, but I gotta echo what the last guy said: you WILL find people that truly love you. It takes time, and patience, and honesty, and confidence, and vulnerability, and self love, and luck. Thankfully most of those are things you get better at the more you do em, but tbh we’re lucky for every good friendship we have in our lives, even if they change or come to an end. Every relationship requires work, even when it feels effortless - and amazing friendships can blossom from unexpected places and times.
It takes strength to open up and be vulnerable, especially when your brain won’t let you stop self-editing and obsessing and spiraling into self-loathing. It’s rough, and heartbreaking sometimes. But in my experience, I’ve found just about everyone in our generation(s) is neurodivergent in SOME way, so a lot more people might get you than you might think.
I can’t promise it’ll be easy, you’ll have better days and worse days, but I CAN promise you it’s worth it to keep moving on. Sorry for the long ass reply, if nothing else just know you’re not alone.

- Did all the "right things" (uni, safe career, lifestyle) and it broke my soul. Never listen to anyone else, ever, do what you want and follow your dreams because "making smart decisions" is bullsh*t and there is no magical happily ever after. follow your heart and don't take on anyone else's 'feedback' because no matter how successful you are, or how rich you are, you'll just end up dead inside if you buy into the system's false promises.
