Notesメモ

Coping mechanisms are the strategies people often use in the face of stress and/or trauma to help manage painful or difficult emotions. Coping mechanisms can help people adjust to stressful events while helping them maintain their emotional well-being. 「コーピング」とは「対処する」という意味です。日本語では同じような意味として「ストレスコーピング」という横文字を使うケースがあり、「ストレスにうまく対処しようとすること」を指します。

It wasn't so much playing video games itself, but rather talking with friends while playing that helped me relieve stress.

Fuck yes and I am not afraid to say it. There are few coping mechanisms that make it possible for you to relax, shut down and still learn new skills in the process while also allowing for socialisation during it. Additionally, it's literally not poison like all the other drugs people tend to consume to the same effect. Probably one of the safest and cheapest coping mechanisms out there (as long as you stay away from gatcha)
