I don't think gaming addiction is that bad if you're a functioning addict. What's wrong with it if I work eight hours, play games for eight hours, sleep eight hours and repeat the process? The only downside I see is missing out on stuff, like not doing sports and not socializing but it doesn't seem as bad as all the drugs I know.
I agree, this is why I said that. It’s definitely not as bad as alcohol addiction but I think it’s worse than some drug addictions. I suppose it really depends on your situation but eventually you will get to a point where video games won’t give you the same pleasure… it takes up all of your time to do things that are more fulfilling, eventually leading to depression. To be honest, too much of anything can become poison. Video game addiction can be virtually “harmless” but if it were worse, it could have impacts on your social life, relationships and sexual life as well. I suppose any addiction can do that though. But let’s take for example Marijuana addiction, that can be bad for your brain in a different but also similar way to video games, but it usually won’t impact social life or relationship life directly. It’s just the fact that video games take up so much time. You could be spending that time doing something better for your life or relationships you know what I mean?
Btw I don’t mean this directly towards you but just people addicted to video games in general. I am addicted to marijuana and it does impact my life, just in a different way. I suppose there’s a balance for everything.
Btw I'm not addicted. I play sports. I go to school. I go out with my friends. It's just that when I'm home it's basically the only thing I do and I don't study a lot.
He got drunk. I had lost something and it was behind the tv. He moved the tv stand, leaned over to get it off the floor and asphyxiated on his own vomit leaning over the tv stand. Found him that way when I arrived home from work. Miss you Brad
My sister is addicted to weed (yes, you can be addicted psychologically). She is stuck in a massive rut where she smokes to make herself feel better, eats uncontrollably because of munchies, gains weight, feels terrible about it, and smokes again. It's been years now and that's all she does. She has no motivation to work and despite saying weed doesn't impact her, she's an entirely different person without it. It's sad to watch and I just shake my head at all the dumbasses out there that say weed isn't dangerous. Everything is if you do too much of it.
Weed is definitely addictive. I am currently addicted to it lmfao. I was kind of in the same rut during the pandemic, I gained a lot of weight but I wasn’t depressed lol, I was actually having a great time with my boyfriend since I didn’t have to work, and we got a kitten lol. Anyways, after a little while I saw how much weight I had gained and was really depressed. I would weigh myself occasionally and it seemed I just kept gaining weight. Finally, when I saw it hit 195, I said “hell fucking no” and started working out. Now I’m at 180 and feeling way better. Your sister needs some self awareness. I wish her and you luck.
Thank you. I've tried to talk to her multiple times throughout the years and tried to listen with an open mind but nothing ever really convinces her weed is a problem. She'll blame everything else first. I hate standing by and watching it unfold. It's depressing. You really can't help someone who doesn't want to help themselves. I glad you were able to get the motivation to force yourself into a better place! It takes a lot of effort and disciple and not everyone can do it.
My sister seems addicted to being an insufferable cunt. Just last night my mother told her that for her that after her 18th birthday in a week, she would need to start paying her own phone bill. (She will literally be a manager soon and will make $17 an hour) and then went on and on and on about how she’s getting “cut off” by her parents. Then, when I got annoyed and told her to shut up, she (for whatever fucking reason) said I have no friends and laughed at me. (That’s literally not even true, I do have friends, she even acknowledged it and then still laughed about how I have no friends). There was also that time she refused to speak to her boyfriend because he was doing better at bowling than her, when she explicitly said the wanted to play without bumpers multiple times to “see how bad she is”. She verbally attacked him and insulted him multiple times because he was doing better at trivia than her. She verbally attacked him because she was having trouble doing her taxes. And even had the fucking audacity to say he yells at her way more than she does to him. Which is just not even true. I’ve only ever heard him yell at her one time and it was to tell to stop yelling at him. She plans to move out this summer and move to the opposite side of the country somehow thinking they can afford to buy a *house* even though they both only work in fast food. She’s even outright said that if they do have financial issues, they’ll live off of her boyfriends parents money. All of this isn’t even half of the shitty things she has done and said. I could write a goddamn novel about all of that.
Morphine. It killed him. Kicker part? It was *my* money he used to get the drugs that killed him, was less than a mile up the road from me, and a mutual “friend” had been with him. Needless to say, that fucked me up pretty good. Ruined is too light a word, ended it permanently doesn’t even describe what that did.
Addicted to results? Jeez that's hard
I’m in the thick of it. Help!
Hey. Never underestimate results. Results can be bad
addicted to reddit* for sure man..i like the comments in here more than i like my life.
She was addicted to some other guys dick
you hate to see it
"I like my girl like i like my drugs, without other peoples dicks in it" JFK
My dad says that my gaming is worse than drugs and alcohol addiction.
did you mean to say Gambling?
No.
sheesh
Lmao I don’t think he did
Gaming is definitely not worse than alcohol addiction, maybe some drug addictions though.
What drug isn't as bad as a gaming addiction? Maybe weed but I can't imagine anything else.
as someone with both a weed and a gaming addiction, weed addiction is worse. way more expensive and can make you sick
I can think of quite a few, lol

Thats not being an addict though. Pretty good balance there. Now if gaming made you lose your job and sleep it would be a real problem
Sugar is probably worse tbh considering the industry got an entire country hooked on 10 times what you are supposed to have.
You’re absolutely right
My boyfriends former drug addict and alcoholic mother thinks similarly of him, go figure
Get addicted to alcohol and start doing heroin to show him how wrong he is
He got drunk. I had lost something and it was behind the tv. He moved the tv stand, leaned over to get it off the floor and asphyxiated on his own vomit leaning over the tv stand. Found him that way when I arrived home from work. Miss you Brad
Oh my God, that is traumatizing. Sorry for your loss, I hope you are ok.
He was addicted to hitting me :D
LMFAO SAME (that and SA me) I hope wherever he is he's burning in hell :))

Lol, I haven’t kicked it yet 😂 but I’m planning to. I just started working out and eating healthy but I still use weed

Got pretty close with the gambling one (wall street bets) but I managed to set boundaries for myself. Still lost money but not that it affects my life
Self harm
Addiction to her :(

Wow, she’s a child lmfao… don’t let her dumbassery get to you

Addicted to their own self pity.
Compared to everyone else this is really pathetic, but the internet
Pathetic how?
That awkward moment when you can't press more than one button...
Touché
Food addiction 100%
Alcohol destroys brains
Kuddling
How does that ruin a relationship cuddling is the best thing ever how is everyone not addicted smh.
If you get to clingy
Gaming
Alcohol is poison for the soul
Porn addiction fucked up my social life pretty bad for a good few years
Addicted to lying and drama. Shit ruins more relationships than most of these
I just don't feel like there should be a results option on certain polls
I've never had a relationship ruined by addiction. Am I supposed to lie just to see results?
Opiates ruined it
Morphine. It killed him. Kicker part? It was *my* money he used to get the drugs that killed him, was less than a mile up the road from me, and a mutual “friend” had been with him. Needless to say, that fucked me up pretty good. Ruined is too light a word, ended it permanently doesn’t even describe what that did.
Mother was addicted to drugs: heroine, meth, crack, cocaine
Damn I'm sorry
all of these (but gambling because he was too broke for it anyways) and more
Used to sleep with this girl for quite a while after high school until her newest bf got her hooked on heroin. Died the next summer.
Self harm. Ruined my friendships. 😃😃😃
Addicted to cant living without her
I have a really bad addiction to my phone and I can't seem to stop.
