I’ve been playing games for almost 3 decades and I’ve owned almost every Xbox, so the online factor is there and overall easily accessible but I just never got this community feel I read in some places, my most played games are probably WWE 2k14 and Tekken 7 and 8, yet I’ve never interacted with anyone, I don’t have a headset and I don’t wanna hear voice or chat while playing though, it just distracts me and I despise losing, but apparently the people connect, make friends and a few even found love while playing their favourite game.
I envy them.
Is like the only hobby I have and tbh it isolated me even more from getting any type of affection or contact.
Some people mention discord but that awful app is terrible plus people act weird there, is like the game is very secondary there and just post cringe stuff instead.
I don’t like that class of games
So it seems like you don’t like games that involve other people but are then surprised when people meet others by playing games that involve other people. Making friends requires two things:
You seemingly don’t want to do the first, and for the second you complain that the app is terrible and the people are weird/cringe and that the game is secondary to them.
Just to let you know, number two in my list is about a connection. Connections are not something you talk about 100% of the time, that makes it an obsession. Obsessions are fine to have but don’t expect to make long term friends that way. Connections are what bring us together and then commonalities allow us to stay friends. The reason people are talking about things other than whatever game you’re playing is because that’s what friends do. The game is the initial connection and then talking about that and getting off topic onto other subjects forges the friendships.
OP doesn’t want to change. This is at least the fifth post I’ve seen from him where he complains about his life and then dismisses every single piece of advice he’s given. I don’t know what he’s looking for, but it isn’t solutions.
