Dude I am super stoked for you that reading books is a coping mechanism, if that's what you meant. You're damn right it could have been a worse mech. Reading books is awesome compared to other crap people get up to when they're not feeling well.

I tend to play games or stay up too late when I'm feeling somber or lonely.

Hey, if you ever feel like letting something fly off your chest, I'm 1 DM away, you got me?

Thank you so much. That helps a lot.

Edit: I strongly believe video games can be a art too. So playing video games is not too bad, imo.

Any time!

Yeah, lol. I guess I didn't mean video games are bad per se, but it is an escape from reality in a sense.

Staying up too late definitely is not good though. That crap is life-shortening. I'm not in a good place, sleep wise. But it's completely self-afflicted. I have no trouble sleeping. Just trouble going to bed in the first place. I'm always tired, I just don't want to sleep. 😩
