For me, growing up, I was around people who saw games as useless and a waste of time, but I loved them

I’ve always been into computers and tech and was called techy and a gamer and each time, it was said with a sort of disgust from the person saying it.

It made me feel like I shouldn’t be friends with the few people like me, and I spent a lot of my childhood staying away from people, and making sure that people didn’t learn that I played games

Even now, I get slightly uncomfortable being called a gamer or techy or any synonym even though people don’t really think that anymore around here.

Anyone else have something similar?

    Pretty bad, a little kid called me Asshole Eyes when I was 17. I am 60 and still remember.

        I heard a biker tell a cop to take a flying fuck at a rolling donut!

        I stole it a few times because it is that good.

          My dad used to use that one all the time. The PG version was “go take a long walk off a short pier”.

      Gramps idk what asshole eyes even means but whoever that was has lived rent free in your head for 43 years. Let it go, I’m sure you’re a lovely person with great eyes.
