    I think you might be in a similar boat to me. It’s very possible you have high functioning depression. Gaming on your own feels pointless (even though you really want to do it), but playing with friends is great because it staves off that feeling of loneliness on top of also being able to play a game.

      i really dont think im dihpressed, and gaming on my own doesnt really feel pointless, its just that im procrastinating starting a game on my own lowkey

      i think its mostly that i just watch youtube all day and its obviously really stimulating, so it kinda makes my mind “numb?”, and i dont really feel stimulated from games since im used to flashy old youtube

        High functioning depression can still be affecting you without you seeing it as depression, but I hope you’re right and you don’t have it. Do you instead perhaps have inattentive ADHD?
