elementary- I would say this was the best time of my life. I had friends and such. I would cope with just daydreaming,tv,youtube(mostly my cope),video games,toys, and doing the typical games a kid would play.

Middle School- Life got a bit worst.I barely had friends. I still enjoyed my copes though. I watched youtube(mainly memes), tv ,doomscrolled social media, chatted with people online a lot, played video games, still played with toys,daydreaming. I was quite busy cuz my mom would make me do other things too.

8th grade- I was in the stage where i started crushing on foids so i would spend days searching up Indicators of interest from foids and watching any show that had a bit of romance. I didn’t have toys anymore so no more toys cope. This is also when tv was dying down on me.

I thought a foid liked me and i was finally getting some friends so i was mainly dreaming of having a gf. I thought things were gonna change

High school-Got more worst here.Went back to square one. barely had an friends at all. I still spent hours searching IOIs, daydreaming of having friends/dates. Watching shows (on yt) that had those characters who had crushes, watching youtube, texting online, doomscrolling social media, playing video games.

Over time in late11th-12th grade all my copes were dying down. Youtube no longer interest me so much, i barely played the games i bought, Still looked at IOIs and daydreamed all day. Social media and texting online would get boring to me.

Now after all that school i feel more bored. Searching iois doesn’t matter anymore now that school is over. Daydreaming over having friends and a date doesn’t matter anymore since i don’t go to school anymore. I’m mainly at home now

I only go to college for a small amount of hours every like 2 days of the week. Everything i liked is boring. Youtube sometimes interest me for like 1-2 days and texting online but it dies out. I rot home thinking of how i miss my past more then now. Being depressed and thinking how things went so wrong. I vent to my self out loud at home like a loser. I have to constantly work too which is ass. Going on here is my cope too but sometimes you guys don’t post anything

TLDR: What’s your past and present copes ?

I don’t bother looksmaxxing Its just over for us at this point. This forum is a good cope but sometimes you guys take forever to post something new. I wish there was a live chat not gonna lie.
videogames
what games you play?
 
What does this mean were you trying to find out what hobby the girl you liked had ? or just in general
No, so like if i saw my oneitis point her feet towards me or twirl her hair around me My retarded ass would search it up to see if it was a sign and i would go on reddit to ask if it meant anything and i would spend hours searching up signs that a foid likes me. A cope i forgot to add tho during high school is that i would stalk my classmates social medias especially foids i liked and even try to find there parents facebook. I even made a hate page to troll classmates back then

middle school is where you had the most copes so i guess when it comes to copes you peaked in middle school. I used to jerk off as a cope too especially in middle school. It’s good that your copes still work and you still have a couple of them. Books bore me to death but i do read things from wiki pages sometimes if that even counts. What do you write about?
 
Before: cope uncounsciously

Now: cope hypercounsciously

never heard of vidya but these seem like cool copes. I only enjoy music when doing other things but music makes me daydream of having a good life like having friends or a girlfriend so i tend to ignore it

Vidya = Videogames
 
Video games and YouTube have been my copes. It's getting harder to cope as I age and get balder, you become more hopeless year after year. I'm only 25 too, the balding really makes you feel 20 years older than you are.
 
Always did those

Gaming
Reading
Inline skating
Youtube

Middel school
I used to do horseback riding although you mainly cared for the horses.

Adult
Driving
 
Cigarettes back then, cigarettes right now, or snus if I cannot smoke somewhere.

what games you play.

Coping wears down as you get older is what i’m seeing. You get more bored and tired of it and then you get depressed. We are gonna end up being those drunk old men looking at the neighborhood in our wooden porch rocking on a wooden chair. How long do you last on youtube or video games for each day? For me it usually last like 1 hour and that’s it.

Driving is nice ngl but i don’t wanna waste so much money on the shitty gas
 
Never smoked before ngl
It's great, suppresses hunger so you don't become a fatass, also reduces stress. Alternatively nicotinated vapes should do the trick or snus, as long as you get nicotine in your body.

I only play for an hour or 2 or not at all after wage slaving, I play more on my days off because I'm less exhausted. When I was a NEET, I would play video games like they was a full time job. I'll usually have youtube on in the background while gaming or I'll use it to listen to music.

Legend of Zelda games and new releases of them until the hack Aounuma came along and completely took over and fucking ruined everything.

Still that rotten bastard can never take away all of the joy Zelda NES and Zelda: ALTTP especially gave to me as a child nor Zelda: OOT despite his having worked on it a bit and being directly responsible for all of the shitty parts it’s few critics complain about the most ie Navi’s whining and the needlessly confusing layout of the Water Temple as well perhaps some of the other dungeons to a far lesser extent.
 
middle to high school: Anime, video games, basketball, AIM/MSN/YiM, trolling, hentai, maladaptive daydreaming, posting on forums

early adulthood: Gymceling, Anime, video games, anime conventions, maladaptive daydreaming, posting on forums, 4chan

Now: Occasionally video games and anime, posting (on here only), maladaptive daydreaming

It sucks that I'm no longer able to enjoy most of the copes i used to love. I remember when I could binge watch an entire season of an anime in a single day, or play a game for like 5-10 hours straight. Now after like 15 minutes I just completely lose interest. Maladaptive daydreaming is my main cope now.
 
My cope has always been watching movies and reading comics, I wanted to become a comic artist as a kid but then I didn't do it.
