Gaming Hangover

I've been in a sort of gaming hangover for a while. I didn't have school or a job for so long that I just hung around the house and played games, which was fine for a while, but now I'm having trouble starting any even though I end up enjoying it every time. I'm starting to come out of it with a new school I'm in, but my teacher said something that stood out to me. On the way out one day, I was telling her how its nice to get out of the house and away from my family, and she said that I need to hang out with people my own age. I thought that I was just playing too many games too fast, but now I think my problem was not having anyone to talk to about my experiences, and things in general. So I'm gonna be more active in the community and hope I start feeling better. Here's Hoping!

Yeah Centimani, Turbomonkeys right. Giantbomb is great and all, but having friends in the real world is so much better. Im sure theres some great people at ur school.

@The_Dude: I know she meant real people, but right now I just want to share some thoughts and opinions about games. Also, the school is a GED learning program so most of the people are way older than me. I'm going to have someone I know introduce me to some other gamers soon too, but for now I'm gonna bum around on GB. Thanks for the concern though guys :P

I don't mean this in a mean way, but do you have any real friends?

Giantbomb certainly scratches an itch for Gaming but it doesn't satisfy that.... requirement that we all have for Face2Face time with people we like being around.

Dude you bumped a 10 month old thread of a guy who said he was going to be more active with a post count under 100. That ship has sailed I think. Good luck to the OP.

I feel the same way. I went on a total binge with BFBC2, but now I havent even turned on my PS3 in four weeks. It also has to do with my crazy work schedule and other personal drama. Maybe I'm just getting to the point where I see more value in connecting with the real world rather than hiding inside the machine. Oh, I never thought I'd hear myself admit this.
