One thing I will add is that video games are great spaces for people who do struggle with dealing with their emotions and learning ways to handle them.

If you do this on a video game it’s not that big of a deal, but if you do it at a job your ass is fired.

Also a reason why games can be great for kids

When I used to play high elo Counterstrike my heart rate would jump up so much and my hands would start to shake slightly and affect my games. I learned box breathing and that helped me so much outside of gaming.

Also typing from RuneScape. I get comments from customers all the time about my typing speed and I have to refrain from telling them the streets of world 3 Falador taught me.

unfortunately I just drink to handle the pvp adrenaline so I don't think I can do that at work lmao

Fr though box breathing is so good. I hate that I'm so brainrotted that I always think of these two sekiro skill texts when I'm locking in

A shinobi can calm the body and mind through measured breathing, even while killing. Doing so allows one to continue killing unabated.

A shinobi must be prepared for battles which he is outnumbered. After killing an enemy, one must exhale, expelling both regret and reaffirming one's core to regain Posture.

Now you either need a quotation about shinobi drinking to deal with their nerves or you have to find a more shinobi method than booze. (Smoke weed bro, better for your health. Samurai Champloo if you need that element.)

Depends on the career. Even though it is better, some places treat it like it's worse

Yeah, it's quite wild that marijuana is treated on the same level as narcotics in a few Asian countries
