I just read this story, that I connected with and related to. I will link the story at the bottom of the article. I highly recommend reading it. It made me think back to my childhood and life in general and how I have use the video gaming habit to cope with some of my troubles.
Its very interesting, how games really can be that escape for people. There were situations in my teenage years, when I was a very difficult person, and felt like no one understood me. Sometimes I didn’t know what to do with myself, I didn’t understand myself. I would get so stressed out with the world, life, and school, and whatever else was happening… I would get very tired. I would log in to World of Warcraft, and start running around. The story made sense, the people left me alone and I could do the things I wanted to do. I felt in control of things again, as opposed to my real life at that time. Its hard to feel in control as a kid, and games gave me that.
But enough about me and go ahead read the article, let me know what you thought:https://kotaku.com/when-life-gets-tough-i-make-a-new-world-of-warcraft-ch-1834080605
