Recently I wanted to go to my Magic (card game) meetings, and draft, play and have fun with people.
I know socializing is extremely important. Especially for us who donāt have many friends.
But today I feel like I donāt want to go there. Idk, I donāt want to see anybody; let alone spend 4-5 hours surrounded by people that I donāt know.
Anyways, I have a draft on Wednesdays, and I play on Saturday. Iām having second thoughts about wanting to go.
I hope you feel better bro. Maybe youāre slightly depressed?
Maybeā¦ I stopped taking adās a while ago. But the thoughts are only since today.
Magic is something that in theory sounds fun, but in practice I donāt know if I want to do.
You know I thought about the game a bit itās kind of annoying imo thereās something about it that is really boring at times and it can be fun if youāre the people youāre spending with are good at conversation and your friends with them already butā¦
Yeah, itās a competitive enviroment.
I mean I love the game, but atm Iām too confortable playing it onlineā¦
Itās your decision, but keep in mind that you need to socialize. You donāt want to cut yourself off.
I used to go to a sunday dance event in DC. It was fun at first, and I made a lot of friends and socialized, but eventually it got old. Maybe thatās whatās going on with you, but everyone is different and I donāt know your story. What I will say is that I always liked seeing my friends on the dance floor, so maybe you would enjoy it more if you made friends with those people.
I think you should go if you typically enjoy it
Iād take it a day at a time. You donāt have to decide right now if you never want to go back, you can just say āhey, today I donāt feel like dealing with socializing,ā while still keeping your options open for next time. You may feel more into it next time or the time after that.
I understand how you feel so much. I also am in a similar situation regarding socializing. I hope you feel better about it today. I hear that Magic is a good game and enjoyable and a good hobby. Maybe you can get lost in your love for the game and focus on that. Maybe that could help make the socializing part a bit easier? Knowing that you have that in common with these people already. I guess knowing that would help me feel a tiny bit more at ease if I kept that in mind. Good luck to you with your socializing!
@Mountain_Lion_Mean @CrazyPlantLady thanks, I will try to enjoy it for one day, and repeat if I like.
I will force myself to go first day.
Gonna go today in a couple of hours. Expecting to have fun!
Iām so happy to hear this! Good for you! Have a a great day and have a lot of fun! Youāll have to tell us how it goes! Enjoy your Magic! Sounds so fun!
Youāve been inspirational to me. I think Iāll go to a painting class at my local coffee shop (that hosts it). I think itās next week. Anyway, I will sign up for it now.
Socializing is very important. I have learned that here. Thank you @dreamer54 and thank you all here.
Yeah! That seems like an awesome plan
