Can video games (like GTA) help someone become less shy?
I'm so alone, and I feel just like somebody else
Man, I ain't changed, but I know I ain't the same
Additional Details
I know GTA is *not* real, but since I playing I have been a little more at ease. My shyness and anxiety usually runs at a very high level.

what is the question?

you know what...NO, NO, NO!!! dude r u serious. GTA is based on the life of a gangster/killer/drugs. this is why they want to stop making these games. GO make a friend or girl friend and get your self esteem back up.


Thomas N
yes that way you can learn to shoot people without feeling bad


m'kay
No but it can help someone become a murder, thief, or get with drugs......


xxdeadheadxx
Your just a weak minded person who lets video games be the controller of your life. Video games have nothing to do with your personality. I'm not walking around pretending to be Master Chief(Halo).

What the ****? How can video games affect emotions? Read what your typing dude.

Definitley not man. GTA is pure entertainment meant for MATURE players who already have the ability to function PROPERLY in society without being biased by violent video games. If you are underage and want GTA to affect your life style, then that is a bad decision. GTA is just a game and it is no the real deal. In fact people say GTA 4 is SOOOO realistic, when in fact I have noted, the cops don't chase you for even running a red light. As for making you less shy, get on a chat room and make some friends, join community service, personality development classes, GET OUT THERE!

No, unless you're playing them with other people. Join a group, take a walk, read a book in the library or bookstore. Get off the computer. Find a hobby. Discover nature. Love yourself.

Lol sounds like the details of your question started off by making a folk song.....


And no, talking to people and getting more involved in social situations will help you become less shy. Getting involved and getting used to being around with people not video games...


kiskipuich
just go out
chat with someone IN PERSON!

it depends what you mean, i guess it could provide open ground for you to discuss GTA with someone else.

as in confidence way.
no please i strongly discourage you trying to steal cars to make friends :]
okay maybe you feel that you confidence is boosted with the power your get in GTA?

more info please


latin_runner963
it makes u feel like you can do anything i've played it b4, but if your shy to talk to ppl do what i do just think tho your self "i've never seen this person and they dont know me (time to make an impression)and if i make a fool of myself i'll never see them ever again" that works for me (: but it doesnt work at school ):

Video games can give the player a sense of accomplishment, but they isolate you from the real world and other people. To deal with your shyness, you really need to get out there and interact with other humans. Therapy or a self help book may also help. Good luck.

GET OUT THERE, ENJOY YOURSELF!, Have a good time with mates

I'm sorry you got so many bad answers. It seems like people have no life, but to look for opportunities to insult other people on the internet.
I have an actual answer. I do believe that video games and movies can help you overcome shyness. It sounds funny, but they have actually helped me with my shyness problem. When I'm in a situation where I feel really shy, I think of a really cool character and try to picture myself as them, and think "what would they do in a situation like this"? How can I be more cool like them?
This has been successful for me. I have drawn my inspiration from Tyler Durden, from Fight Club, and how he is so laid back and always applies his knowledge in tricky situations. Granted, I don't blow up builings, but this has greatly helped me to overcome shyness, and has helped me to fit in a lot better.
Hope this answer helps.

No, it won't. But you could do multi-player and at least start an online convo with another player.

Suggest you get out more. Practise smiling at people you pass in the street or in the mall, supermarket. Even if it's only one to start with, then the next day two.. and so on. You are not trying to engage a full-on conversation with them - just encourage yourself to speak up and say hi, or hello. or nice day... to make contact. That's all. For starters. You do not need to marry them off, ask for a date or anything else other than make an initial point of contact.

If that is too much, then remember your manners and use them instead. So when you are served at Maccas by the chick with the nice smile, TELL her as you go - nice smile.

It's not that hard to do. Confidence is learned. It's not something you are born with, despite appearances to the contrary.

Remember, GTA is fantasyland, NOT reality.

tht 'anxiety' is probably adrenaline before a climatic point in ur game. and no it wont help. it will desensitize u to violence making it easier to point and click. try online multiplayer games where u socialize like sports games (madden, nba,etc). ur speaking skills will improve and ull be able to lose shyness. and say what u feel like. and u might want to start talking to urself in the mirror if you dont have a mic. hold a conversation with a sibling or family member. not hard

I don't know, but one headlight sure was/is a great song! I love his dad's music too!


It never ceases to amaze me of what @ssclowns people can be! I just blocked 75% of the answerers on this question.
