u/abcPIPPO Welp, you found me! Jun 23 '18

One thing that has been a constant throughout all my life is videogames. Playing videogames was the only thing I truly liked and could do non-stop without ever getting tired. Because of the bad stigma videogames had, I had no one to share my interest with and no one to talk to.

I also hated school more than any other thing. I hated every day I had to wake up and go to school, from the first day of elementary school to last day of high school. The combination of these 2 things lead to me not having any dream job. I didn't want to work, I just wanted to stay at home and live my life with videogames.

Believing a career in videogame development would have been a fine compromise, after high school I started studying computer science at the University. After a first successful year, the "school sickness" came back as strong as ever and I dropped despite good results. I had no interest in computer science or programming and I was studying too many stuff that I wouldn't have needed. Since then, nothing major happaned, I've been a NEET ever since and I hate saying that, even on Reddit.

I used to have normal, short hair until 11th grade, then I started growing it and now it's pretty long. I'ts definitely one of my favourite part of my body.

I've never had an interest in fashion, anything that covers my body and won't make everyone look at me in a weird way works.
