Hey man, UA-cam recommended me your video out of nowhere. Gotta say, your thoughts mirrored mine when I was a kid and I found it interesting. I never socialized much in high school and I just accepted that I was 'that guy' who was an ugly product of gaming and internet culture. However, growing older, I'll say this; please do not regret how many mindless hours you spent in a game, and how it could be better spent elsewhere. I mean that's true, you could have spent it better, but you're judging your previous actions unfairly. The past you thought it was the best decision /at the time/. But now, you know better. But to truly be better means accepting your previous selves rather than hating them. They're still you, after all.
I've been through the beating yourself up over what you did in the past stuff before. Don't hate that it happened, be glad that you know better and can learn from it. There's no getting the 1000 hours back, but you're at the point where you know better than to dwell on it, use your past experiences to shape your future ones
Hey man, great video. Remember that it's never too late to make friends! You can still play Minecraft and make friends :) just be mindful of what you're doing. My 2 cents.
I scrolled through UA-cam trying to kill time at work and as a result I get an existential crisis from a video clip that I accidentally came across, which is the saddest thing, everything that you said is familiar to me
I shouldnt have used gaming as an escape from the fact that its hard for me to make friends, i usually try my best, i try to talk to a lot of people but its always the same, it would last for a few weeks and then people would start to get bored or uninterested. I love these tpe of videos so much, it releases a part of me that i try to hide so much
This is why I'm so strict with what video games I play nowadays. I used to just play games to have something to do, but now, if a game isn't a 10/10 experience that is actively trying to say something, I just find it a waste of time.
regret is a weird topic... like, for me, i *know* regret for some things will happen regret of wallowing instead of getting into new things but at the same time, im enjoying myself and making memories. i only SOMETIMES do stuff when i dont really care to much of the time, im enjoying myself main thing honestly is its just hard to figure out what i want vs what i think i want
I realized this a while back with video games in general. Now I go out and have fun, meet people, started a business, took courses, and I'm living the life I sat around and mopped about about not having and striving for more. its funny how things change
Im like this as well. Wasted a lot of time smokin grass and playing video games all day. Probably thousands of hours wasted. I wonder what it I could have done with those hours. Maybe learn a new language, maybe developed a skill that could turn into a job and make serious money, lift some weights and get heathier. Starting to take life more seriously now but wish I did it sooner. Just glad im doing it now. Time is valuable. I remember somebody told me you want to know how to time travel. Sit there for 10 years doing nothing. 10 years will go by and everything and everyone around you will have changed but you will still be the same as you were 10 years ago. No new skills,friends, or any developments made. Worst thing you can do is waste time.
I've been busy lately with being in college, yet I love to sneak in playing Minecraft occasinally to my schedule. However, I've experienced what you've apparently experienced on how it's hard to justify playing the game. So sometimes I play it while either listening to the Bible or a podcast. I'm also considering uploading videos of me playing on UA-cam, but idk if it's worth the time. Being an adult is a good thing, but sometimes I wish I could have the ability to do practically useless things again just for the fun of it.
Yeah that is the one downside of adulthood.... it might just be that we're in school so we're basically at the busiest points of our lives (at least I hope this is the busiest part lol)
Its okay to play video games and listen to podcasts. Just make sure it doesn't distract you from being healthy, successful, and mentally well. Everyone needs a form of escapism every now and then.
I like the title. I been there before. Wasting a lots of hours consuming content and becoming brain rot. I am now a recovery coach that helps out people. I do UA-cam as well and I love that I found an excuse to continue playing game. I also help sell products as well. I think all it takes is 3 months to change your life or just making steps to change your life.
i’m currently trying to spend less time on my phone for the same reason, but it sucks because i know i’ve been wasting time. it’s hard to get around without a license in a world built around cars. i’ve mostly been trying to practice the things i enjoy, i just get so distracted
What you're trying to get at is short term happiness is not worth it compared to the time it takes up. Nothing wrong with it but at some point you have to reduce it to focus on your future. No point in being unhappy while working on your future though, play when you have free time.
Yeah ever since i beat the game in just 13 day per eight hours and worst part i lose and i deleted and forgot about it for qeeks but I'm back and got depressed lose hopes and dream ever simce i was 12 to 19 but your right i don't think all thing we always wanted tobdo but it not worth it anymore i think I should do something new like u said
I took this video about Hipixel or however you spell it and took it so literally that I'mma change how I live my life. Brother I don't even play Minecraft lmao
I'm 18 too so I probably don't know any better than you. my opinion is just make sure you're getting a good 8 hrs of sleep per 24 and you should be good.
I used to have quite a few friends but then my anxiety got worse when everyone including my parents and the school's therapist said I would just 'grow out of it'. Yeah well guess what? I didn't, now I'm an adult and behave like an autistic child. Not only that but since adults have to fend for themselves I quite literally am paralyzed in daily life. I just sit at home and will eventually get evicted but that's not until around October, so I guess I've got some time to figure out how to craft a normalizing potion with anti-autistic and anti-anxiety properties.
I havent played anything near the amount you have, but I have hundreds if not thousands of hours on a ton of cod games, I never enjoyed it. I only really played the games because they were popular. always have been a minecraft guy, but with my friend circle minecraft never really hits the spot for them and its a bit of a bummer. but to each their own and all that.
I’ve also spent easily 5000+ hours in Minecraft in my life, 2000+ hours of RimWorld and 2000+ in other games combined. It definitely screwed up my socialization. I’m trying to rebuild it.
@@RandomGamer- I can't because I need 3000 public watch hours. I only have 178 because up until very recently, the vast majority of my content was shorts, and view time on those doesn't contribute to it. hopefully it won't take too long to get to 3k lol

Funny you mention the Bible because, in my opinion, it's as much if not even more of a waste of time than minecraft.
Holy chungus sir you forgot your reddit gold may I tip my fedora to such a legend of a response the bible doesn't have le epic bedwars like minecraft

good luck on spending less time on your phone, and on getting a license (if you're doing that)!

these videos are great
yuh
Is this what they called *social anxiety*?????
how are your grass blocks fully green?
a mod called Optifine
Looks like youtube is pushing this content on your channel which is good. I usually dont write comments, but this video was really well done
thanks!
I took this video about Hipixel or however you spell it and took it so literally that I'mma change how I live my life.
Brother I don't even play Minecraft lmao
Good keep it that way lol
how old are you now? i’m 18 and i spend a lot of time playing minecraft at night. i’m not sure if i should be doing something else or sleeping more.
I'm 18 too so I probably don't know any better than you. my opinion is just make sure you're getting a good 8 hrs of sleep per 24 and you should be good.

that sounds HARD. all I can say is good luck dude

nowadays a bot could probably get 50k duels wins without a ban
sadly the moderation is that bad these days 💀
Imagine 1000+ hours at the gym instead.
