I didn't need the game to help me with any real life situation but I'm really happy to play nonetheless! I made many friends, and even if some stopped playing, I still think abuot them from time to time hoping they are well, and I did notice that it's helping me socialize. I'm an awkward nerd who doesn't go out much but from talking to people so much in the game, I'm less awkward when talking to people irl. Now I only need to find a way to add "fc leader" to my job applications :P
