I've ruined my life with video games. They made me get shit grades in school, made me drop out of college because I failed to do an assignment 3 semesters in a row because I endlessly procrastinated it and now I've lost my job because I was up all night playing games and slept in for the dozenth time. I have no friends, obviously no partner and my family resents me for being the loser that I am.
And the worst part is that I don't even like games. I fucking hate them. 99% of the time I get no joy out of them, just escapism.
>I've ruined my life Yeah, video games are the least of your issues though.

Yes, although society constantly encourages people through social media, texting instead of writing, movies that are just flash set pieces and one liners to waste their time. If it wasn't video games you could just be addicted to twitter

I feel you. You have an addiction problem. You CAN be addicted to anything, even things that aren't considered drugs. My advice is a therapy focused on addiction. Something you could do would be give your gaming equipment to a friend or family member and focus on cultivating different, more productive, hobbies. Good luck man it's never too late to change and happiness can come easily even if you don't adhere to societal standards of success. After all, it's your opinion of yourself that counts. Try to find what you truly wish for in life. There probably is an underlying traumatic experience that pushes you into that addiction, wanting to escape reality and all.

sounds like you should make a career out of gaming ngl
This kind of shit never helps anyone. >friends, family lol >just get another hobby bro WHICH?
Robert Thompson
Not bullshitting, see a therapist bro. Everything you're describing is changeable, but trying to approach it all by yourself is setting yourself up for disappointment.

>No bro, It wasn't me being a retard it was my video games that made me do it!
Accept that all of your problems stem from your attitude and work on changing for the best

Part of me envies how you're able to no life that shit. I used to. I was able to no life WoW at the expense of my health & relationships. I was able to hold a job though. Saved a fuck ton of money. Bought a house. Invested the rest. FINALLY got sick of gaming in general. I wasted so much fucking time. The past few years I've been really focusing on lifting and my looks. Focusing on budgeting. Really focusing on diversifying my interests. Because how can you hold your own in conversation if all you know anything about is videogames? I'm not there yet. But it feels good going in the right direction. Good luck bro.
