i can't get a hobby because i'm not a fan of going outside
i haven't really talked to anyone this summer
i just wake up, play roblox and study, then go to sleep.
i want to quit the roblox aspect of it.
i want to be able to live my life without the influence of others.
i don't want to have to seek the acceptance of others.
i don't want to be a second-rater
i don't want to have to think about what i want in life
i want to repress my appetite until the point at which it is no longer an appetite. I then want to be of intellect.
I see all these great people, like Ayn Rand. And I want to be like them but it's so difficult.
i don't want to be a part of the collective like those outside are

| I had a mad ######### to this game and eventually I just found it within myself to see what it was doing to me. After forcing myself to not play no matter how bad I felt I realized that if my ######### really is this bad then it's time to quit. |

I don't think that quitting Roblox by itself will solve your issue of needing the acceptance of others.
I haven't "quit" I guess, but I started spending my time working out, eating right, and just spending the necessary time on myself to feel good and the problem you have now was solved for myself.
I used to hate working out too. Somehow doing it deliberately and on your own terms is a lot more enjoyable than a high school PE class.
If it is simply a matter of speaking to someone, you can add me on discord (marytone#3139). |

As I said before, I don't enjoy going outside. I want to be an intellectual, as in reading novels for several hours a day. It's difficult to focus for that long.
Sometimes, I look outside and I don't like what I see. It's all Catcher in the Ryhe, but the catcher lack authority, and they all run wild.
If only I could concentrate. The effects of consumerism is so obvious on me. I want to save myself.

| u dont quit roblox, thats how u turn into pragmatic. u just stop playing a lot and eventually u don't play anymore. just start enjoying life more. get a gym membership, join a club or sport at school, start making friends and start doing stuff and you'll have a life. it's pretty simple stuff. idk how good u are socially but seems like you aren't so if you're trying to make friends just stick to the simple stuff: whatever is happening at the moment, stuff you watch, music you listen to, etc etc. just be chill and enjoy the moment. |

Well, you don't have to go outside to work out. Sure, it helps to go to the gym and have the equipment, but none of it is absolutely necessary.
I don't know how to help you with that. I personally find it hard to sit down and read a novel, especially if I am not interested in the topic. Maybe set up small goals and work towards your big goal slowly? That has worked for a lot of things for me. |

| It's not the things you do that hold you back. It's the things you don't do, if you remove roblox you'll find another time waster to avoid doing the things you want to truly do. Don't overexert yourself though, people have limits when it comes to focus |

@guges
I've read something similar in the novel Fountainhead. I don't know which true desires are mine. It seems that it is society's desires being mandated among us.
