Am I sick or just addicted to paintball?

[Lorquas]

You're still pretty young dude, as u get older and you get responsible for everything all the sudden, your priorities change a tad. I was exactly like that, and still mostly am.
...But then you get car payments and insurance, and college thing going on, and a coupla dozen part time jobs, then the girl friend, and the family, then the religion thing... and all the sudden they change the word "God" into "Fred" in all the books, and u get stuck having to buy and mix 80 gallons of kool-aid...

needless to say, it gets really fustrating...

You're perfectly normal though, I mean theres worse stuff to be obsessed about in this world

[Wasted Rabbit]

You are like the rest of us.. We all need to see a head doctor, And get him to play too..

don't worry i'm sick too.

Hi, my name is Creative Mayhem, and I am....

I have had the paintball sickness for 11yrs, and i just cant seem to shake it. Oh well, it's something I have learned to live with i guess.

[tony3]

Yeah, I think I have finally convinced myself that this whole paintball addiction is here to stay, I just got to sit back and enjoy the ride

[Torbo]

i have ummmmmm 4 friends. maybe 5. 2 of them and i are our paintball team. And theyre really the only ones i spend time with, due to work. so yea, basically the only people im around out of school are paintball friends. course im not sure if its normal to have so few friends either.......but i used to have plenty, but no longer

[decimator4]

7 years.... 7 years of paintball.... I am also like u, I sit in school thinking of paintball and thats it. But hey, at least its a safe addiction. Only bad thing is that I don't get to go alot since my friends never really can go, and there always seems to be some issue with my gear. I need paintball to function, and well, no paintball recently, heh.

I was just observing to my life today. It was kind of random and I thought I'd share my situation with AO.

I have been paintballing for 2 years and can't get enough of it. I'm a hardcore tourney player and paintball is all I think about, well almost. All my "normal" friends at school don't play paintball. I can't relate to them about anything. If I ever meet anyone at school that does paintball the conversation turns into how they have an angel that shoots around trees or something. All the guys on my team live relativily far away and I can't drive so I can't hang out with them besides when I'm at the field. I have resorted to becoming friends with people online that are hooked on paintball like me and have no one to talk about it with.

I have stopped doing things with my friends for the last few weeks because I could be doing things paintball related instead. I don't even care about what people at school think about me and I have made my own shield around myself. I don't care what they think about me because honestly I couldn't care, Paintball is the only thing I care about. I haven't spent money on anything non-paintball related forever. All my money goes to paintball.

Well AO I turn to you, am I sickly addicted to paintball or just stupid, or both?

P.S. Mods edit my poll if you are offended

youll get over it soon enough, trust me, i was the same way, my social and school life suffered. now i look back and think how stupid it was of me to get so obsessed. its fun yes, but it won't last.

Hey, I'm sick too! *group hug

I'm always thinking about paintball or recalling a past game and what I could have done better. I'm not complaining, though.

i sat in my bed lastnight doing exactly that, then i realized that i had to get up in 2 hours for school

now that i think of it, i wouldnt mind having a girlfriend because i need someone to drag me away from these forums

[Chromedragon]

Im with ya all. I think the addiction is a good one in moderation. I tried to kick the habbit have been out of the sport for some time. but I am getting back into it. I am happy to say that this is a good thing as it will be the cataylst to get my sorry butt into shape. I spend way to much time infront of a terminal for work every day. Paintball will be my salvation/Addiction....

[Nick O time]

wow

i feel the same way, except i invited alot of my friends from my old school to a pb bday part, first time any of us went. then when i got addicted i got some of my best friends to go for the ride. now all we do is talk paintball. even if we are playing halo. we mess around like check his leg check his leg, gogged, snap shoot at newbs with plasma pistols. we even started to play imaginary paintball. basically guns but we used pb guns(no air cuz it was like 12 at night). but yeah only thing i do that is non pb is listen to music and play drums. pb is my life, i barely even socialize at school because when i have free tim i just go on AO. i dunno maybe we are all very sick. lol doubt it.


wow way too many smilies.
