Don't be so hard on him. The fact that someone is intense and focused does not mean that they are not interested in you. It might just be an indicater that they are lacking something. Like satisfaction, or self-image, or power. 16-18 year old males have a well developed feeling of "domination", but are lacking in the ability to forsee the results of anything more than 10 seconds in the future. Cut him some slack. He'll grow up.

There is no reason to place the importance of a video game over the ones you love and care for. I don't think she should cut him ANY slack, if she does, he'll never grow up.

Weening a person (male or female) off of things like video games or anamie is like training a dog not to piss on the rug. If you only hit them once and cut them slack, they'll still do it again. But with a constant threat of harm looming over their heads, they'll go to the door. Not the best metaphor, but still a good example.

You are right, it's a PERFECT metaphor.

Harming a dog to teach it does not work. It only teaches the dog to fear the person that harmed (or harms) it.

You teach with love, compassion and reward.
Not with pain, harm and fear.

It's a perfect metaphor, for MY point.
Thanks

I know how you feel. There's a reason I hate video games (and for that matter, aneime), it steals ones soul. I'm sorry about your Ryan pal, if theres anything I can do, let me know.

Hello myalteregoparis March 27 2005, 21:49:45 UTC

I found your journal on here while looking for other people who are anti world of warcraft. My boyfriend is also obsessed with wow. It irritates me to no end that that game sometimes seems more important to him than me. I feel your pain...

DOWN WITH WOW!!!

Feel free to respond or post on my journal.
