Many people won't understand.

This game was there for me when nobody else was, just logging in, do some chores in game to distract myself, get happy at the little progress I made at the game because slowly but surely I was achieving my goals.

Just logging in at times and seeing someone in Gchat go "hey, how's it going x?" Or "just in time X I need someone to help me"

This game represents a safe space in my mind and house, just seeing images of the map and reliving memories in my mind is enough to change my mood.

Many people won't understand but I sure am happy for it

This is precisely the counter point to "social media BAD" studies.

It gives people the only chance of connection to another individual and the only ability for them to form a relationship/bond with others.

That 1 kid that's bullied relentlessly in a town with 1 school from kindergarten to highschool? Yea, their only chance of survival is online connections. They may not get it from home/family. They may not get it from peers/school staff. They may not feel like anyone knows they even exist until they find someone that acknowledges them as a human being.

Social media used to be very different 10 years ago, they really suck now

Most normal people put up with friendships with terrible people and force themselves to drink and do activities they hate just for the chance of friendship. Real life is far more brutal with heavier consequences, you'll be judged by so much out of your control. You can always turn off a videogame or block bad people online, infinitely safer and under your control.
