grand theft auto and bpd.

Postby Caustic » Sun Oct 13, 2013 9:36 am

Impulsivity in at least two areas that are potentially self-damaging (e.g., spending, sex, substance abuse, reckless driving, binge eating). Note: Do not include suicidal or self-mutilating behavior covered in (5).

I have done this in a few forms. My absolute favorite form is reckless driving. I feel most alive when I find the top speed on a vehicle. Especially when pushing vehicles to the limit of tgeir handling capibility. I love the adrenaline of white line driving on motorcycles over 100 miles per hour.

One of my favorite vehicles was a 100 dollar 1995 Cadillac Deville. Very big block engine with enough inertia for two cars. You have to hit the gas soft and the brakes hard. I loved my 500cc transverse V shraft driven motorcle. Responsiveness and manuverability are unparrolelled. I loved having a wuick little jetta to rally around town in snow and rain. I loved driving turboed civics, mercedese, and saab performance vehicles like I stole them. Bravo to my brave friends that experienced that with me.

You are fearless.

Grand theft auto is pretty contreversial. I get that, but they got it perfect. Driving a big block Cadillac at its capacity with rap music blaring is perfectly captured. Driving a bike at its top speed in traffic is immaculately recreated. Fast tight handling cars are amazing, and a stoken lamborgini is exactly as I dream it is.

I am good. I can go through the town. The cops never catch me. Its likecreal life. That's why the game is dangerous, bit that is why its perfect for me. I can fulfil primal driving urges, without endangering other people's lives. Crashes at 200 mph show me pixelated renditions of the end, that I have flirted with for years.

Maybe games like this can meet a need that can potentially save my life.

I guess I relegate my high speed fantasies to my dreams. I have recurring dreams where i drive
fast and recklessly.

It is because I am projecting thoughts out of control to my external world

That's me. Not analyzing you.

I have a Scooter and get my semi-high speed fix on that

Archer, im doing well. I do things in phases and switch between them. So I will be in and out of the forum.

I am not sure if there is something under the surface of it. But there sure is something to downhill mountain racing in a fire truck that makes me happy.

I am guilty of this. I've been a VERY reckless driver. I used to LOVE GTA as well.
