feared of being completely consumed by something or some aspect of life that could potentially make you lose control?

    I don't play RPGs; I came across the quote a really long time ago and found it interesting.

    You know, from the title of this thread, I thought it was going to be something else entirely.

    oh.. I don't know.. maybe the drinking game.

    I used to get completely consumed by whatever video game I was playing at the time. I mean, I would drop everything for the entire day and just play. I'd spend every second I could on the game. Then, one day I just stopped liking video games altogether. I rarely play video games at all any more. It's weird..

    I'm with Ether, I get addicted and absolutely consumed by games. Though mine is more internet games. I think this process has taken its course on... 5, and now onto the 6th game :x

    I have good self-control so I don't have that kind of fear. But gambling can make people lose control.

    i used to fall asleep playing this one game, i'd wake up and continue playing, haha
    but for the past few years I hardly play any games. two or three times a month maybe, lol

    @ether: oh.. hahaha.. but we can't share the alcohol here!! =P

    @shi: so the thought of losing self control never crossed your mind? you know now that you brought up the topic of gambling.. i've been asking around these days what makes people get so addicted to it..@_@ i mean.. i never got into the game nor was i ever interested.. no matter how many times i went into a casino..

    I've already been consumed.

    Consumed by my financial ambitions, as you already know from reading my lovely thread, but also been "consumed" by some unpleasant relationships.

    I don't mind being consumed by my goals and dreams (what better to be consumed by?), can only result in good things, IMO.

    But the other thing...I'm not bitter about my past relationships, but they've had their toll on my heart and I've become a little bit cold and pessimistic. But that's okay, because it'll help my other goals, but I just hope it'll go away when I'm ready again.
