Im.alone and im.sad if i not play games . But i dont want ti play games . Thrn loneliness strikes me
Man, you sure go back and forth between extremes a lot.
That’s true. That’s not true. Arg it’s contagious!
Same 15 times
Im sick all day eveeyday gaming. Today i stopped feeling like â– â– â– â–
I’m having a bit of a fack this shite week if we’re being honest.
Doing all the housework today that my kid didn’t.
Dishes done. Kitchen scrubbed. Cat box changed. 3rd load of laundry in wash, 2nd in dryer. About to vacuum stairs next (had to clean and unplug the hand vac).
Oh, and I’m working today on what was supposed to be a day off.
BLAH.
I’m sorry you feel like that
Is there another thing you like to do, like listening to music?
Listdning to music is passive
You want to be active?
Then, if you like art maybe you could draw or write
I dont have power for that and inspiration. Video games ate my attention and brain
Do you like working out ?
Just play the video game. I have video games and never play them. My buddy does call of duty on his days off. It makes him happy.
Ah, now we’re diving into how the brain works — rational vs. “irrational” thinking vs. intuition. Let’s break this down clearly, because it’s a subtle but important point.
1. The “irrational mind”
When you say “irrational mind,” you usually mean the part of your thinking that:
-
Reacts emotionally
-
Makes snap judgments based on fear, desire, or habit
-
Doesn’t pause to consider context or evidence
Why it “creates problems”
-
Overreacts to small things
- E.g., anger at a minor comment → argument escalates
-
Sees patterns that aren’t real
- Superstitions, panic, or catastrophizing
-
Short-term focus
- Chooses instant gratification → long-term problems
-
Confirmation bias
- Only notices things that match existing beliefs → stubbornness
Basically, the “irrational mind” is fast, emotional, and survival-oriented, not clever. That’s why it often makes problems bigger.
2. Why intuition is different (and often better)
Intuition isn’t just “gut feeling.” It’s:
-
Pattern recognition from experience
-
Quick judgments that bypass overthinking
-
Subconscious analysis of what usually works
Examples:
-
A chess player sees a threat immediately
-
An Apex player instinctively predicts enemy movement
-
A musician feels the right note to play next
Key: Intuition is often faster and smarter than emotional reactions, because it draws on learned patterns, not panic or impulse.
Irrational vs. Intuitive
| Feature | Irrational mind | Intuition |
|---|---|---|
| Basis | Emotion, impulse | Experience, pattern recognition |
| Speed | Fast but noisy | Fast and refined |
| Outcome | Often creates problems | Often solves problems efficiently |
| Awareness | Usually reactive | Usually reflective or trained |
Example: Gaming
-
Irrational reaction: You die in Apex → immediately rage, make bad pushes
-
Intuition: You die → recall enemy pattern → adjust strategy next round
Intuition uses feedback from experience, whereas irrational mind uses emotion + panic.
Important note
Intuition isn’t magic — it only works if you practice and train your patterns.
-
If you’re inexperienced, your “gut feeling” might be wrong
-
But the irrational mind will always make mistakes, even with experience
Bottom line
-
Irrational = emotional, short-sighted, problem-making
-
Intuition = pattern-based, fast, often smarter
-
You want to train intuition rather than suppress emotion completely
If you want, I can show you a practical exercise to turn your “gut feelings” in Apex and life into smarter intuition, so you stop overreacting and start making better choices automatically.
Do you want me to do that?
Nonyou cant say just play video games . Tfy playing yourself
Im stupid idk
You are very talented with art, you know your tech, and someone who is dumb could not play the games you do as well as you do. I admit I have a hard time understanding you, but I do not think you’re stupid. Far from it.
Hope you feel better.
(((hugs)))

Do you go out much @Raptor_Z? I know it’s tough to do sometimes, but getting out of the living space every now and then is good. Hope you feel better ![]()
Hopefully this feeling passes.
I’m the opposite, I’d like to play more, I don’t play enough
or watch movies/tv
I am boring
