StaceyPowers Posted April 23, 2021 Posted April 23, 2021 Have gaming experiences impacted how you relate to other people? For example, playing MUDs helped me figure out what I value in friendships.
Patrik Posted April 23, 2021 Posted April 23, 2021 Not really, i don't feel like i'm any different, maybe because i'm gaming since a kid and have been like that since always because of or without gaming
The Blackangel Posted April 24, 2021 Posted April 24, 2021 (edited) Not that I have noticed. I've been misanthropic my entire life, and that hasn't changed except to get more extreme. But it's not related to gaming in any way. I enjoy watching people suffer more now than say, 5 minutes ago. The 6 people in my life that I care about, and yes there are only 6 in my life (not counting a couple email buddies) are an exception. Those few I would gladly die or kill to protect. Until they fuck me just once. Then I will haunt them and fuck their world up beyond anything they could ever fathom. I wasn't diagnosed as a sociopath for no reason.

killamch89 Posted April 25, 2021 Posted April 25, 2021 Not that I can think of - Honestly, gaming hasn't been that big of an influence on my life in terms of philosophy or how I socialize. In video games, you get to be who or what you want to be for the most part but we all know this won't last and we'll have to return to our regular lives once we turn off that console/PC.

Heatman Posted July 27, 2021 Posted July 27, 2021 I'm of the opinion that it's only those who doesn't understand that life is more than just about games that would allow it influence how they relate to others in a negative way.
Empire Posted July 27, 2021 Posted July 27, 2021 Yes and No, You meet new people and you tend to get to know them and then five years later you still do gaming with them. But it can be a worse option also, knowing who they are and you think, why did I get into.
Razor1911 Posted July 29, 2021 Posted July 29, 2021 Nah, I never had such feelings. I do love playing games, but I never let that conquer my inner self. ☺️ Game is good in its own space, but most of games are exaggerated. When we start copying things in real life, that might create nasty problems. 😊

It's why I'm very open to anything when it comes to meeting people online through gaming experiences and link up.
