I'm a 19 years old male.

So, it's summer holidays now in my university. It's been a while since I really felt what is it like to go out in summer, it's usually like a fleeting moment to me. Every summer I dive into virtual world (not mmorpgs, mostly jrpgs) and loose track of time. I'm very happy when I play video games, but when I can't for some reason, I feel really bored and realize that I've sacrificed almost everything in my life for video games. I reject girls who approach me, because I don't feel like going on dates. I have only one close friend, but after we finished school he went to study to another city, so I see him once a month at best. However, my marks at university are very good, but it's not that I work hard for them. Overall, I feel rather pathetic. By no means I will abandon gaming. But what will my life mean in the end? Are all these sacrifices really acceptable? Am I normal?

    I am doing the same and I am happy as fuck ! Only problem is that when I run out of games to play I get bored as hell and waste time on sites such as these.

    Dude I have basically been a game addict all my life. I also have an active social life though, you just have to find a balance.

    Do what makes you happy, simple.

    I'd try and seek a balance between the solitary gaming habit and something social, away from the electronics. But I'm not you, and you are not me. If you are content spending your summer this way, then who is anyone to criticise?

    "What will my life mean in the end?" What do you WANT it to mean? What is the legacy you want to leave? What do you need to do to make it so? Work that one out and try your best to achieve it.

    Sure its normal, you're just doing what you like to do. A lot of non-gamers like to diss games since its easier and cooler to do than trying to understand them or considering them a legit and safe hobby but do they really think that going to a club full of pathetically hopeful and drunk single people attempting to share free STDs with a potential physical fight over nothing is better? Watching TV is any different? Sports are the end all sport? Guess you've never seen a Street Fighter 4 tournament with all the commentary and mind games.

    Seriously, games are great and tell just as much a story if not more than books or movies. Plus, a very talented team composes all the music, draws the artwork, writes the story, programs and makes the 3D models...oh dang, games make up half of life's hobbies in one game. I've also met great friends this way.
