What is better??

[bushwick]

I have this situation of life.. well it is like that.. every day of life is utterly monotonous because of studies and exams and in general because of my possible 99% introvertedness.. i study all this time, however, once i will finish exams I will be free to do anything I want.. but to think about it clearly... what I am going to do? I'll play video games and remember the past.. the good times of course, so I have this question... what is better?? To be stuck in real-life routine feeling like fallen into a pot of grey paint and having the feeling of inner decay, but doing things that should be done-studies in my case..or.... being addicted to a video game that sucks you into its magnificent, fantasy world while playing the game makes you feel like a god... you are away from everything real and feel only the excitement and urge to hide...but the feeling that makes you understand that you are losing your life..dissappears ::

your studying to be a....? Maybe you can meet some ppl there who like videogames as well. It's fun to play videogames with others.

Well i'm studying chinese, but in all the cases whenever i am in a group of people I tend to stay away from them.. like being afraid to talk to them.. and afraid to seem boring to them... I am too shy and reluctant to talk..

Which is better depends I think. Each has their benefits and disadvantages. I think working at your studies is more productive, help you get good grades and teach you skills that will lead to a good job. It can become dull though, boring and unexciting, especially if you have trouble keeping interested.

On the other hand, stuff like video games are a great escape from the real world. It's a great creative outlet and is enjoyable. You can live your life in a fantasy world though, real life will always poke it's head in and mess with it. And it isn't always the most fulfilling, to isolate yourself from reality.


I think the best would be a combination of both work and play. Too much of either isn't good, a balance of each optimizes the other.

An update.. possibly last ever made by me.. but anyway... I have noticed some strange thing after being indulged into video games for a long time... game is a very addictive world of joy, rememberances, nostalgia and memories.. atleast for me.. but once you log out world changes rapidly... there is this strange moment of interruption (about 5-15 seconds after logging out... then follows light depression and some strange and unclear low self-esteem occurs). It is like returning from a dreamy journey to some beautiful country to your true life... strange though what games can do with people's minds.... Anyway... this was my last post.. have been to many forums in the endless sea of internet and understand that even on the internet it is very hard to talk to people .. forums were never my thing... anyway... good luck to all of you and take care... life goes on... but people never change....
