I ghost all of my gaming friends because I can't stand the tension of being in a group, but I love befriending strangers online for the sake of injecting some positivity into the world.
it's a vicious cycle of:
play alone > befriend stranger > ghost 'em > repeat
>>50167816same and happy for you but the hardest part is not making it apart of your identity whenever you come out.
>>50155761>>50173592same but I hit that wall just by thinking about it sitting at my computer. I feel like this happens a lot since everyone wants to be a youtuber nowadays.
>>50173625I almost joined the discord but I prefer this level of anonymity. maybe one day.
>>50173693so much this, I actively avoid irl conversations about gaming/anime and now appear as a normalfag. I recently helped a nerdy coworker figure something out about his car (weird noise turned out to be caused by low steering fluid). feels good to know something of real world value.
