Instead of reading or learning a hobby or working out I have spent thousands and thousands of hours, every second of my free time playing these games. Literal years of my life I will never get back. 😢

Edit: I’m not blaming my failings on video games, I’m blaming myself. My inability to form connections, my inadequacies both physically and mentally. I’m not really saying “video games have ruined me” I’m saying I have nothing else and nowhere to turn so I retreat into this
