Basically I had this same problem with every video game I ran into. I had gotten a gameboy at the age of 5 and I think the mistreatment I got from my fellow peers didn't really help. It caused me to become more of the recluse I am now (I'm only 17 so I definitely have a lot of room to make up for this). Eventually I was introduced to maple. When I was first introduced I hated it. Too much grind too much time but my friend literally wanted me on for hours a day and I genuinely despised him for it. He was a bigger addict but I think I was the reason he stopped playing now.
Eventually I got back to America and said, "eh why not look at what GMS is like". Unfortunately I wasn't really hooked until my friend moved to Alabama not to long after I had gotten back. This had me hooked, we started on zenith and had a fresh start and it was eh until I hit windia. I was hooked because of friends. Eventually this got to the point where I would start losing sleep over maple instead of trying to get up with the old shows. It eventually got to the point where I would still be playing it very actively but hated the game because I had hit southperry and realized how much of a money trap the game actually was (I had started realizing it before but SP shoved in my face more). Eventually my friend started to get turned off from playing because no matter what he'd do I'd always be better than him in the game, to the point where he rarely plays for others but only for himself and only when people ask for him to play. (I asked him to help with the absolute belt and he literally just wanted to train his wind archer for two MPE stages and said he wanted to go back to minecraft saying the game was getting to grindy for him). This was already to the point where I rarely log on until I notice something that seems ok for me while avoiding the point of spending money to get nx.
Now it's more of the point where I play games occasionally but I'm still a shut in. I'm trying to concentrate more on school now but really my grades are beyond repremending. Not really an oops of more of a "I should have gotten that under control before". I'm having some concentration and self motivational issues now but I don't think their tht bad since maple has given me this odd "I have to do about 4 hours of work now" which sometimes gets me ahead of my classes.
Maybe I'll edit this later, I'll probably forget instead.
