So, weird question.

I was going to make a post trying to find people to play League and other games with, but I realized that most of the people that add me from a thread like that might play one game, and then disappear.

I've been gaming since I was little. Even learned to read by playing Pokemon, (and watching my cousin do Phonics cards with grandpa) way before I went to school. I always had so much fun with them. But, lately, I'm just not enjoying them as much. If there's a good story I still can't put it down, but I'm just not really enjoying myself anymore. In fact, I really don't enjoy much of anything (I enjoy watching animes and movies still -- and that's basically the only time I have emotion, since I cry and laugh at things I'm watching) anymore. A lot of the time I just kind of sit here zoning out swapping between games not really doing much of anything. Or I go read through the forums for an hour, or I go talk in map chat in GW2 or something.

So, I do have more fun when I play with other people, I've noticed that. But I just burn out when playing alone. What causes that?

Would just adding random people and playing with them do anything? I've never had actual friends, so I don't think I'm going to be able to find any. But why don't I enjoy anything anymore?

"But I just burn out when playing alone. What causes that?"

That sounds like a sign of extraversion, which in the personality sense means you derive your energy from interaction with other people (I'm a hobby personality theorist). More specifically, there are difference kinds of extraversion that has to do with your cognitive functions. Depending on which two (yes, two - everyone has it) you have, you may be missing some external engagement of some sort. Try taking the test on the site. It's by no means a good test, as I can learn more after four questions I ask than 100 of theirs. But it's a start.
