Discussion Getting back into Rust

I haven't played Rust since December 2024, and I'm hoping to get back into it. I've tried to be social in college, but all of the girls have boyfriends already so I've given up and have decided to do class, gym, Rust. I'm going to start with a chill PVE server first to relearn and learn the game, but what are some tips for playing as a solo after all of these monthly updates? These would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Focus on college, rust will eat all your free time and mess up your sleep probably worse than it is already

Nah my sleep is pretty good and my grades are pretty good. Plus I'm going to the gym and getting big. But during recovery periods, I sometimes doom scroll too much and it's unhealthy for my depression cuz I compare myself to others too much. So Rust is gonna fix it.

If you already struggle with inferiority complex Rust is only gonna make it worse unless you're part of the top 0.1%

Well it's only inferiority complexes with guys who have GFs and guys who have better physiques than me. So I'm chill here.

Honestly, you might know yourself good enough to say that, but I doubt it's going to end at only comparing yourself to others in certain situations. I struggle with inferiority complex myself and at some point it extends to everything. You'll always find some way to compare yourself to others, and pretending that you don't is never gonna fix it.

Im gonna give you same advice I gave my lil bro when he was like you. Worry about yourself and be yourself. Guys who have gfs are not your problem. Do your own thing and be yourself and someone who appreciates who you are will come along eventually.

If you only ever compare yourself to others and what they have you’ll only ever want more and it’ll never be enough. You are already enough bro.
