I feel kinda lousy right now and figured it was time to stop lurking and make my first actual post here. I work like 4 or 5 days a week and have 3 after school clubs and a few ap classes right now and I've been pushing pretty hard to get my college app stuff in order. It's pretty stupid but I've been working on a game and its a part of my portfolio submission for a pretty big school for game design. It's not my only school and the program is pretty up there for that kind of education. I'm pretty depressed but almost in a way kind of relieved that I'll most likely be moving away. I don't want to say I have no friends but for the people I do talk to it's pretty hard for me to connect because my interests are mostly just in making my own games and characters and that gets pretty hard to talk to people about. Sometimes I lift with my friend but after about a year of it I honestly just don't get the appeal anymore, it just doesn't make me happy and it really hasn't changed much of anything. I don't use any social media and don't own a smartphone, but every day I always kind of think about if I did and if it would make things better. The truth is, I just feel pretty lonely a lot. How do you guys deal with it?

Why does loneliness hurt you? What do you think you’re missing? Why is it essentially to have what you think you’re missing?

Honestly I'm not sure. That's just kind of how I describe the feeling but maybe its something adjacent or completely different. I guess I would say in general I just feel socially unfulfilled and it probably has something to do with my parents. My mom and my dad hate each other and have been split up since I was young, and I used to go to both of their houses but one day my mom just pushed me too far and I had to leave (for context, she's a diagnosed schizophrenic and still blames my dad for "giving" it to her ev&oe its probably genetic). My dad is cool but I think we're both kind of autistic so he doesn't really understand my interests. I still visit my mom now that our relationship is better but its really hard because she just has certain tendencies that remind me of who she is. Growing up neither of them paid a huge amount of attention to me because my mom was always partying and my dad was always gaming. They don't like that I wasn't a football player and always quiet and drawing. Our relationships aren't bad, they just kind of make me sad. I think the feeling I'm describing is more so like feeling underappreciated or unloved, and not that I think I should be worshipped it just becomes demotivating when youre pushing yourself to do so much and it's hard to tell when or if its even going to pay off.

It comes in waves, I'm not feeling as bad anymore after going to work and thinking about it. It kinda sucks always being somewhere between depressed when I have downtime and exhausted when I don't. I mean everybody struggles with motivation but I feel like I've never struggled this much with caring about stuff like my hygiene (which isn't horrible I mostly mean my room being disorganized and stuff like that) or my future. I haven't played videogames in anywhere near the same volume pretty much since the summer, I mean like once every two weeks, sometimes longer stretches. I've also just lost a lot of my temper, I used to never get so angry but after like half of my shifts I end up driving home screaming in my car and trying not to lose it.

Anyway here's some random assets since my game is kind of all that keeps me going
