Kane99 Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 So the topic is video game addiction. For sure there are many out there who are addicted to gaming. I wouldn't say I'm addicted, as I don't game as much as I'd like to. I maybe game a few hours a week at the moment. Just too busy and lazy to other times. But yeah, there are clear cases of addiction. It's mainly because the person gaming, probably has an addictive nature to begin with. So it's kinda to be expected. Gaming can keep your interest for long hours, it has for me. But I usually know when it's time to call it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for how you play, you still have control over your habits and it's the only reason why you are doing just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand At least 3 of my friends from back in the days in college are critically addicted to playing video games. They have been admitted once but it's not enough to solve the problem for them.

Heatman Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 A lot of my folks have died and some imprisoned as a result of doing and selling drugs. It's really a shame that some of them are promising young lads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heatman Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I think that depression is a lot worse than addiction because it takes longer before an addict would commit suicide unlike those suffering from depression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
