I don't know what to do. I’m 22. I don’t have any friends, and I have never had a girlfriend. I don’t even have a basic education; I can’t do math or grammar. I have to use a secondary program to fix my grammatical errors as I type this. I wasted my childhood and teens being glued and addicted to games and social media. The worst thing is that I didn’t even like it. Sure, it was stimulating, but I always had a pit in my stomach.

I’m not angry; I’m just sad. I wish the internet never existed, and I could have had a normal life growing up, playing with other kids outside instead of being stuck in a dark room all by myself.

I totally get the tranime obsession with isekai; I would sell my soul if it meant I could get to experience the life I never had. I feel like I have never lived.
