Graal: Public or Private?

The first step is admitting you have an addiction.

Same here.

Except one of my friends "Fox" knows it.

My parents dont have a clue what I watch or do on the computer, and I want too keep it that way.

My mom does have a clue what i watch on the computer, and that was an awkward experience...

Except for a few close friends and my family, nobody really knows that I play Graal...or any games for that matter.

If they ask, I'll tell them, but I'm definitely not going to start a conversation with it.

I'd say private. My parents know I play a game. Years ago a few friends played with me but not anymore. None of my current friends except for bffs know

[papajchris]

public/private for me.

My family knows i did play graal, an da few friends know because they played it as well. But now none of us really speak of it. Especially in front of other people!

I find playing graal embarassing. So I stopped telling people, although I dont really play it anymore. Back when I did though, only my parents knew.

[Clockwork]

More or less public. It's not like I just going around talking about graal all the time. But I'll mention it to people looking for something to play or when people see me playing it.

Though, it was my senior class project lol. While everyone spent all year studying and going to events, I made 1 level with graphics and stuff in a day or two, and at the end of the year explained how to develop on graal and showed off my level. Got the highest grade possible. lmao

I like how Graal is treated like a secret sex addiction or something. I'm not criticizing you guys, I do the same thing, but it's just funny how embarrassed most of us are.

I don't play anymore. When I did, I kept it private, though my mom knew what it was, so did my sister and cousin (he showed me the game).

I used to tell friends and family about it, but the friends I showed, except one, disliked it. Now I just talk about it with the one friend that caught on occasionally since I don't have to ask my parents to buy me Gold.

I find it funny and I'm gonna criticize everyone for it. You guys sound like Graal is some dirty part of your lives that you want to wish away. I mean, it's one thing to not talk much about gaming with a certain friend, but to actively hide a large part of your life from the majority of people you know? That's reflective of a serious inconsistency between who you are and who you want to be. Why not just accept that you are a dork online--or refuse to accept it and actually remove it from your life if you think it's that bad?

Or just keep doing what you're doing if it makes you happy. I never really could grasp the double life thing, so maybe that's the source of my complete lack of empathy regarding such issues.

People probably think Graal is embarassing, and in its current state it is :P
