The way I'm a 44-year-old gamer and everyone acts like it's a problem. Even though I have a college degree, own a home, and work a 6-figure job.

Meanwhile, my 85-year-old Father-In-Law watches old black & white shows from when he was a kid and everyone thinks it's the cutest thing.

It's crazy to me how gaming is looked upon as some time-wasting thing. Yet there are so many hobbies that keep you inside and doing far less than gaming does.

Don't care what other people think

Even if you don't care what people think it can make interactions, family gatherings, etc. awkward.

If others look down on you you can ignore them, but it doesn't mean it's not happening.

This is the answer. I don't even know what other people think, I don't ask and if they try and tell me I let them know they are being weird making their internal thoughts leak out of their brain.

Hey, I think that you're the weird one. I'll have you know, my thoughts don't leak out of my brain, they evaporate, thank you very much
