    Nah, I think that starts happening when you first get a job. Jobs take longer than school and generally are more labor intensive, and there’s also the commute, and when you get home you have to do chores and either make healthy food or eat something garbage for your body, and that’s just as a single person or a couple. It’s no wonder everyone’s tired, the 9-5 grind can be really exhausting, and when you’re tired anything that takes effort feels like a grind.

      Just to be clear, I don’t mean to sound hopeless. There are things you can do that make life feel meaningful and to allow you to enjoy your time, I just mean that life can be tiring.

      If you’re completely exhausted after your day it’s possible something deeper is going on

        Not really that deep, just tired at the end of the day it’s normal stuff really. I can’t game when I get home I need to give my self breather before any of that plus gaming tried is never a fun experience

          I can’t game when I get home because I have a partner to emotionally take care of by spending time with her and strengthing our bond. Sure I bitch about it sometimes, but I’m also not 14 anymore and have different priorities.

          EDIT: That’s not to say I don’t game, but I have to be a lot more selective and realistic with when and for how long I do it, and that’s fine by me. Relationships are more important than videogaming dopamine hits.

            Good to hear but it is a bitch you can’t do everything at once so you have to pick an choose. Lucky I’m not in a relationship so more me time is good time
