Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

i really dont think im dihpressed, and gaming on my own doesnt really feel pointless, its just that im procrastinating starting a game on my own lowkey
i think its mostly that i just watch youtube all day and its obviously really stimulating, so it kinda makes my mind "numb?", and i dont really feel stimulated from games since im used to flashy old youtube
High functioning depression can still be affecting you without you seeing it as depression, but I hope you're right and you don't have it. Do you instead perhaps have inattentive ADHD?
no idea, but i feel like i have a little bit of adhd? a guy i watch on youtube has adhd and i can relate to some things he says
I'm riddled with it so maybe this shared experience we have is more on that spectrum (rather than my depression). If you see any other things that may be affecting you in your day to day life I do recommend getting yourself diagnosed though. Just knowing and understanding alone is a great help when it comes to this stuff.
