I often think about how unenjoyable​ and uninteresting real life is, compared to virtual and fictional worlds.

I love video games, especially the ones that immerse me completely and let me feel like I'm a real part of them, RPGs or the games with silent protagonists are good for this.

I think I'm ok with all this. Doing bare minimum IRL to have enough resources to keep me alive and get all the copes I need.

But sometimes it becomes sad and painful anyways when I'm thinking about it. I'm not sure why. Is it because I'm actually not satisfied with living in virtual worlds, video games and internet? Do I actually want all those experiences to be real? It's dumb because my consious mind understands ​that it will never be "real", so I should be happy that I at least can enjoy it through the screens.

Does anyone have similar thoughts?​
