What's the point of larping?

[Sprung]

I don't get the point of LARPing and having an "e-commerce" business. Hitting your first 10k month or whatever else. Sometimes this community reminds me of the COM/SIM community on TG, where larping is a way of life for some people there. JFL, there's nothing wrong with getting an education and going into a conventional career path.

It's a dopamine related problem + imposter syndrome. Much easier to sit there and LARP, as opposed to actually becoming what they're larping as. They actually get a kick, reward, and feel good by doing so. It's a shortcut, a hack to try and fill the void of being empty. No one doing anything worthy with their time has the opportunity to sit there and LARP on forums all day, it's extremely homosexual. This is why people who post motivational content, also aren't doing shit themselves. Everyone is giving out advice, without following their own. Jesters.

Yeah, I just think that time could be better spent on something as simple as hitting the gym. The gym is actually such a good place to lower social inhibition as well. You can go up to any guy in there, and they will start talking to you about diet/training.

Like I said, they're attempting to fill a void. That's all they're doing. And you're right. One tip tho, I don't recommend attempting to advance/date females in the gym. Overall just a terrible idea.

Yeah, I go around 3-4 AM, so not many girls my age to begin with. Usually it's older guys in there that are serious about lifting.
