if you die in EE you die in real life

Wait, authorities can be held accountable for their actions?  What kind of totalitarian regime is this?!

My real life has been requiring more of me recently.  When I have a chance to sit down on my computer, EE is no longer my first choice to play.  My go-to is Overwatch at the moment, which filled the (actual) 20 minutes I could spare today.  I have tried to move away from being on the computer too much because I was consumed by video games for most of grade school. The amount of time I was spending grew into an unhealthy addiction.  It was unhealthy because I didn't have any friends, interests, or hobbies other than video games.  I was holding myself back by consuming ALL my time with the computer.

Now, going to college, I'm making friends, trying new things, discovering stuff.  I'm happier than ever.  Looking back on that time in my life of consistent gaming, all I got was a temporary sense of fun and excitement.  I feel worthlessness and unfulfillment about how I spent many, many hours every day of my life.  It was a dark time in my life that I don't want to fall back into. 

EE had a special hold of me during this time because it offered commmunity.  I didn't feel like a part of anything in real life mostly because I was a loner who was also homeschooled my entire education. EE isn't a problem, but it was a vice which I used to falsely meet emotional needs.  I made levels which people played and enjoyed, which made me feel liked.  I completed all of the extremely difficult levels which gave me esteem.  I talked and hung out with friends which made me feel accepted and wanted.

Now that my needs are being met IRL, I realize just how unhealthy it was for me.  I'm spending less time on EE because I realize I was doing certain things on EE to feel a certain way.  EE was my life for 3 solid years and it was destructive the way I was playing.  I shouldn't have been looking to a game to meet all my emotional needs.  Now, I almost think I was playing so much because the community was amazing and that it was what I needed to get through that time of loneliness in my life.  I'm at a place where I'm not reliant on EE and that now I just go to EE if I want to chill and have some fun.

Any questions?

Some crews are "recruiting" and have you sign out a little application.  I'm sure they'd be more than happy to have to join!
