Will I regret being satisfied with videogames and porn? I'm 26 now, when will I start to feel lonely and want a family?
I haven't had friends since I was 16 and it hasn't bothered me because the internet and family has kept me company. Even after moving out and living alone, I actually really enjoy the calm of being by myself.
Tell me why I should wamt a family? Why should I want all the things everyone tells me to want? I fear that I'm dooming myself but its a fear created entirely by peer pressure.
I don't know a lot about schizophrenia but I also don't see how anything I said relates to that. I don't hear voices or have any weird paranoia

Sounds like the average Nazi fuck No wonder you envy jews

He meant schizoid personality disorder. Not at all related to schizophrenia.
Brandon Taylor
not being oversocialized is a mental disorder, neat

I'm 34 and I'm still satisfied on a surface level with the bachelor lifestyle but I know my time is rapidly running out to have a family etc.
Problem is im satisfied with having absolutely fucking nothing! who knows if i'll one day regret it.

30s my guy. 20s are a mans teens, at 25 your brain is just reaching the peak growth of your prefrontal cortex. You are only then reaching the maturation of 15 year old equivalent women. This is why if you do date in your 20s your girlfriends number 1 complaint about you will be how immature you are.
In your 30s you begin to rationalize your trajectory for your future and begin grasping for it. Whether it be in your career or for a family. You will likely still play video games because they are the most adequate stimulus for work/reward ratio, but they will be less important because they don't contribute toward progress for your future goals.
Cameron Gomez
Yes. It'll really kick in around 30. You'll also get bored of video games and not want to play them anymore.

You don't realize what you're missing. Atleast try to put yourself out there while you're still somewhat young or you will regret it.

>Tell me why I should want xyz You are asking the wrong question, mate. No one but you can answer what YOU should want. There will always be a tradeoff, commitment vs freedom. You just have to strike the right balance between those two and take time to properly arrange your life situation so it doesn’t become impediment as you grow older.
Make a thought experiment and travel to the end of your life, to your deathbed. Visualize how it will be if you continue the way you’re doing right now, and then visualize/imagine same deathbed, only you are surrounded with your family, where you recollect your life stories with them. Based upon your feeling, you will know the answer. There is only one life user, make the best of it.

This is almost impossible for anyone to answer for you. To give my own anecdotal experience, I'm older than you by a few years and in my early twenties I had already resigned myself to living a solitary life. In my mid twenties I still pined for companionship but I knew I'd never have it. Eventually I started accepting a life of being alone and I'm doing fine. I don't see myself ever having a wife or children and I feel like it's probably too late to start now since the young girls I'd want to be with don't like men my age unless I'm able to impress them some how and I don't have the mental or emotional energy to go through that bullshit song and dance anymore so it's just going to be me, my hobbies and my family until my lights go out and I'm fine with that.
I don't really think about tfwnogf or the prospect of meeting someone and starting a family anymore, women are too tiring to deal with. I've been in and out of "relationships" a few times but they usually ended poorly because the girls are always fucking around or there's some glaring problem with them like mental illness which deters me from committing properly since I don't want headfucked kids or an irresponsible and unpredictable mother making our lives more difficult than it needs to be. I don't ruminate on any of this in my day to day, I just live life one day at a time and enjoy developing my interests and being with my relatives. Do I regret anything? Nah, not really. I've lived a good life. I can close out the rest of it on my own and without a woman. At this point a female in my life would just complicate things.

You are now. That's why you posted this.

Get someone submissive and give her respect so she stays that way. Always be the boss in the relationship.
Jackson Watson
I feel the same however I do want friends and family when I see it in fiction. When I see what reality holds (mundaneness, selfishness, predictability, and degeneracy) unlike in fiction I just lose interest. I do yearn that it could be reality though.
You will want a family after good women get invented.

I don't think you will regret HAVING a family. You're not going to be 70 and think "oh man, I wish I never had children and just spent the last 30 years playing vidya games."
If you had some big amazing awesome lifestyle, then MAYBE you might regret the anchor of having a family, but if all you have going on is video games then I don't think it's a huge opportunity cost.
John Cox
I am 32 now, and I still don't want a family, or a wife, but it started to bother me that I don't have those things. Mostly because people around you will de-value you for that, even family. The levels of not giving a fuck required to handle this without suffering are immense.
William Allen
Nah, I'm 30 and the only thing I regret is not saving more money, but I don't regret it that much Pretty much spent my 20s being an antisocial shut-in alcoholic. I mean id socialize every now and then I want to save up for a house, that's why I regret not saving more money in my 20s
Julian Cox
unironically, take some of sam hyde's advice.
learn a trade/skill get excersize, try to limit vidja read things WILL fall in line.
luckily, men are evergreen, women spoil. so dont rush things. if you are white, have as many kids as possible. but dont just wife up the first skank. HAVE A SON. there is no better personal test than raising a man.
Samuel James
Unless you're an actual schizoid, you will suffer tremendously.
Noah Fisher
Not searching to socialize obviously is.
Blake King
I regret being satisfied with videogames back when I was 17. Now I'm 27 and realize I've wasted many good years. I wish I wouldn't have been happy with imagined adventures when I could have had the real thing, should I have had a bit more courage. But videogames were a convenient "way out", even though in reality they didn't take me anywhere. Oh well, still got some years left I suppose.
