Go Pray, Don't Delay I think it’s more about moderation if your addicted then sure you need help but everything in moderation so I don’t blame games nor do I blame the person he had to do what was right for him that’s what I take from this but addiction can be helped if people want it if not it’s their Choice
That actually happened in my house my mother kicked my maid out after she kept making tic tocs. Because she was so addicted she left the stove on and almost burned the house down....
Yes, you can control gaming. But for some people it's very difficult to near impossible. If you have a "nervous personality" type, you're more prone to get addicted.
Honestly when i went to Island season job as warehouser i was like working being happy, 6 months without pc and now guess what i started playing games again and i was like wow it was a way better without pc and i startef working again.
I stopped gaming at age 25 because I was really pissed at my teammates and because my computer broke somehow and took one month to repair it, in the meantime I started doing other things and I'm studying to become a m.d., I love studying now and have time to read some researches, I'm fit and happy
Bruh...I'm glad you're becoming successful and happy but I don't understand how you just quit gaming all together. There are such games where you don't have to play with other people and just enjoy the experience. Single player games
This made me tear up a bit, because I think I’m heading in that situation but I still have time. I have gamed 5 days straight and didn’t even bother going to class, thanks for this vid, made me think if I don’t stop entirely I might also get kicked out homeless.
@@new-account704 Yes 🙌 I have gotten out of that hole of my gaming addiction and it did cost me quite some time. I am able to put all my attention to studies and now only need a few years left to get my doctorate.
yesterday i uninstalled gta5, after i realised that i played that game for 400 hours in a last 6 months. i don't feel i'm an addict, but boy do i understand how easy it is to be one. good luck you all.. and thanks for sharing this story
Thats not true ok. if you do gaming the wrong way like everyday you ended up homeless. But if you started like streaming or something you'll be a millionare
I remember my first semester of uni there was this guy in my sociology course and he and I were good friends and would often play Halo and COD. I then noticed that after awhile he stopped coming to class. I stopped by his dorm and saw that he was playing Halo. I said to him that he missed class for two weeks what's going and he told me he just got caught up playing Halo. A month goes by and the professor knowing we were friends (perks of attending a small university) asked what was going on. I said I have no idea. Friend basically stopped attending classes altogether so he could game. By the end of term he was left with the choice to either flunk out or drop out. He dropped out and we still hung out but eventually he moved 18 hours away and stopped talking to everyone he met at university. Seeing this brought back memories of that and I truly hope he is okay.
@@rajeshshrivastava7578 no fools playing games must be banned. Most smart people know to play games in moderation just like everything else. There are movie and TV show addicts too. Should those be banned??? I bet you would say no 🙄

That was one of my classmate during my diploma. He was good at classes until he discovered Pro Evolution Soccer. He would miss classes just to finish that Premier League season (he played as Liverpool). He intended to drop out of diploma, like, HE EVEN MISSES EXAMS. That was the 2nd semester. Never see him again from the 3rd semester onwards. Now he got a real job, that's the most important thing.

Maybe depression had a lot to do with your addiction. You found gaming when you were most vulnerable and it overtook you. In addition to that, you were playing online multiplayer games which are super addictive. I think gaming is a good escape of reality, but like everything it has to be done in moderation.
He doesn’t seem to have figured out why he spent so much time playing, or why he developed an addiction in the first place. Anything can become an addiction. He likely had issues with his parents not being stable and used gaming to keep his mind off things, but became addicted because it had become the only thing which helped him. There may have been issues which should have been treated but were neglected prior to the presence of the addiction. It’s a shock both of my parents stayed together because both of them had severe mental issues, and I also coped with video games. Today I don’t spend much time playing because I would rather watch RUclips or anime, and both helped me learn more about myself and how to deal with my issues in a more healthy manner. The problem wasn’t the video games; school just tends to suck, and sports can become less enjoyable if you start losing.

Stay strong gamers!! Prioritize your work, games will always be there for you, waiting :) but studies and work comes first... Pain is just temporary then epicness follows
the real game is real life. Problem with virtual gaming is your real character dies slowly while you spend time in the virtual world. Real life is the real game where the goal is to make a positive difference in the world. Whenever you help someone, an invisible +10 pops up. Life is interesting if you give it a chance.
"Walk 10000 steps to earn a dollar"... don't believe it, it's a scam. Sports are also a waste of time and youth. It trains you sports skills and keeps you healthy but that's where the benefit ENDS. Football doesn't solve world hunger. Track and field doesn't solve climate change. Aquatics doesn't solve government corruption. The real issues plaguing our world require us to contribute to its solutions. You're born to make the world a better place to live, not to live your lives to play children's games. And you only earn a salary by helping people. Gaming and sports shouldn't be made as a career.

I have a feeling a lot of the dislikes are from younger gamers who (maybe) have yet to feel the repercussions of gaming addiction. I'm 24 and over the last few years, gaming addiction has been all too real and devastating for me.
@@7thsky585 oh there are many ways that something that gives you privilege and entertainment. And one of em is also a way to try and escape from reality. Like imagine what you like doing so much, and so much more, you were so focused into that, you completely ignore the surroundings of your point of view. What I mean is, addiction can happen, even if you don't know it yet till someone pulls you out of that pit.
You all guys don’t worries about that , that guy just don’t know how to plan something and can’t control himself , you guys just need daily activities list , play like abiut 3 hour a day its fine , game also teach us if u could catch the meaning of gaming , you know if u r gamer
You just gotta balance it out is all.. a certain amount of time, here and there for the Xbox or Ps4, and most of the rest of your life with family, friends, *chores, having fun and living life. *It's eeeasy
I used to be a chronic gamer when i was in my youth. I'd spend hours at a time on my SNES, at friend's houses on their sega genesis & playstation. I'd go out to the arcade at the mall & spend damn near all of my money there. Sometimes i wouldnt even eat due to putting all of my coins into the machine. As time went on, the thrill just wore off of me & i gave it up cold turkey. Nowadays, these youngins look at me like im some old guy because i dont do xbox or ps4.
Damn , i can feel myself going down the same route, i play like 13 hours a day and i cba to do anything else. Gaming is just too fun but going homeless is a strech
I play everyday on my PS4 for around 5-9 hours a day online competetively too even in a pub match ill play my hardest its become not even about having fun for me anymore its become about doing well every game and being the best and its also an escape from my depression
We'll see how fulfilling the game makes you feel in ten years and looking back at the time spent. You don't have to stop but maybe playing 5-9 hours daily isn't something to aim for, you can still play and do so much more with some of those hours spent playing
Time is a thing we can never bring back every minute is history but games is a thing we can always get back use your time wisely it could bring more happiness than depression
FrostBite 125 lol I still don’t understand why he couldn’t just not constantly game I’m a gamer but I game some in my free time not when I have work to do lol
FireMyster 470 Depression is depression. Some people actually have depression, and some people fake having it. Who are you to judge people who have (actual) depression?
something i do when i realize i can’t stop playing, is i keep reminding myself that the game isn’t going anywhere, it’s not gonna disappear, and it’ll still be there tomorrow
I pick up my saw blade gun my electric gun my Tesla gun and my normal guns to kill anyone who plays fortnite also that mom if she was me would of been wacked

@@wing_gundamzero_5433 I am not blaming parents. But if we never receive attention and never can enjoy together with our family and dont have friends, people will always turn to gaming. Then you grow older and pass 18 and you become responsible for your own actions but that does not take away the fact that the parents did not give their child the attention they needed. I know they working hard for us but children would rather have parents who earned a bit less but gave their children attention. I respect parents.
This Story reminds me of This kid in my school but be isn’t homeless. We’re friends he’s addicted to gaming and has serious anger issues he skips school and also barely eats aswell because all he does is play fortnite, because of all the weight loss he started to get pain in his muscles until one day he had to be hospitalised (he also broke his leg) he recovered but is still the same, I hope he changes soon 😔
I'm a deep gamer on my ps4, playing Destiny2 all night, all day an night. No sleep for 48 hours+. I've like this for 4 years. I'm gonna be 28, I live with one of my parents, I take Valium pills for Anxiety an I use it to not get an epileptic seizure from gaming too much. I've been taking pills as long as I have been gaming intensely. I don't have a job, vehicle and I don't have my permit or license. I'm very spoiled because I don't take action into changing my life. I used to be active an fit until early October 2020. I sprained my ankle, an there i was laying in bed for months getting fat. Not working out anymore. I recently go outside and do some jump ropes to strengthen my body but after I'm done I usually spend two hours sitting down looking at my phone on RUclips. Wasting my life just like a video game addiction. Smartphones is very Reliant since you don't have to do anything. I feel it even reads your mind. You could be thinking of something randomly and it pops up on your phone. Weird. I watch this video and makes me really want to change my life but I put so much time money and effort to my video gaming platform. I just can't get the courage to get rid of it. I have no friends, no money an no respect for myself.. my hygiene is really bad, teeth wise. Self-esteem levels suck. Motivation out the window, and addiction Non-Stop. It hurts.
Hey man I also struggle with VD addiction. I constantly go through phases of relapse which is extremely difficult to do but it can be done. You can do it. You have to honestly ask yourself what you want in life. If you wanna chat happy to. Talking to people on similar situations can make you feel much better and might help you succeed. All the best
Addiction and depression can go hand in hand. Most addicts live in their parents' basement, often filled with tresh and pop bottles, like those 4chan rooms you see on the net. Disgustingly filthy.
I am a big gamer myself. I absolutely love it. However I do get good grades in school as I always make room for that, I am in advanced courses, I do sports ( parkour, trampoline, cross country and basketball), I am an artist, and I am always outside. I also do stuff like build LEGO. However I always play games too. I usually play about one hour of PS4, half and hour of any other console I have ( I am a retro console and games collector who also has a PC and Switch) and I sometimes play DS. But yeah that is how I manage a healthy lifestyle alongside being a gamer
I think the biggest issue is turning into online games + competing, youtth is filled with energy and that energy should be used in theiving real life desires ❤
The fact that people are commenting “great vid” and stuff like that when the vid was posted 8 mins ago and the actual video is 10 mins long... Edit: OMG YA’LL TYSM FOR 572 LIKES I HAVE NEVER HAD SO MANY SKSKSK
At first, i thought this was anti-gamer propaganda. Then, i actually watched it and found out it was an anti-fortnite PSA. Edit: holy shit did not expect all this attention.
i stopped gaming when i was 16 years old. i was fine at first but i started to have withdrawal systems. I felt giddy at times and even un-content with myself. Felt like i was wasting, had difficulty staying awake even when i slept a full 7-9 hours of sleep. So i turned to drugs, thanks to drugs i am no longer addicted gaming. Thank you drugs for turning my life around
for real? or sarcastic? if real, what felt better? i had a problem with weed back then, i smoked all day, was high 24 7. i dropped out of university for the first time then. now i started uni again, qtill spend a lot of time gaming but at least i am doing my uni. back then also weed and games paired incredibly, you would sit on your cour for literally months
@@marcusstrymon693 - I don't want to say much but I was just joking.. But also I wasn't lying. I would explain but I don't want it in the open. Can we talk somewhere else? Also I'm so glad to hear you are back at Uni! Same thing for me, I'm getting back into studies soon.. Good luck brother, I really hope you do well.
I’m grateful I grew out of video games from when I was a kid. I learned my time and money is valuable and I’d rather spend them both on constructive, meaningful hobbies and projects. I focused on becoming my best self and being someone who I would admire. That’s incredibly fulfilling. If I can do it, you can too
It’s not gaming just addiction. I love video games with my heart and play it like no tommrow. But I never let it jeopardize my school / family / and health. ( maybe health)
From what I can see, I think the gaming addiction was more a tool being used to escape from his parents. He may even have blamed himself for the fallout between the parents. Thus he became addicted to becoming good at something. Being the best, winning, these all feel good, and could dull or outright erase the feelings his real life left him with: Namely his parents breaking apart. I'm worried for him if so, as he'll just become addicted to something else, and repeat all of this once he finds another easy dopamine fix to cling to, especially if it's one delivered as fast as what gaming can give. I do think if he found true control, given his work with sports games, that he'd make an amazing manager for a sports team.
@@ChrisDMReloaded 25 year of gaming addiction here. I used it to be able to do something challenging and that I get a hit off without having to do any work. The lazy man's trophy. Little did I know this causes real physical pain worse long term issues than physical sport ever would. It is so addictive and so destructive.

Moral of the story:A parent’s choice of living will impact a kid
I used to be a chronic gamer when i was in my youth. I'd spend hours at a time on my SNES, at friend's houses on their sega genesis & playstation. I'd go out to the arcade at the mall & spend damn near all of my money there. Sometimes i wouldnt even eat due to putting all of my coins into the machine. As time went on, the thrill just wore off of me & i gave it up cold turkey. Nowadays, these youngins look at me like im some old guy because i dont do xbox or ps4.
I’m a gamer but it’s not ideal and honestly it’s hard to find someone who doesn’t play video games

Damn , i can feel myself going down the same route, i play like 13 hours a day and i cba to do anything else. Gaming is just too fun but going homeless is a strech
I play everyday on my PS4 for around 5-9 hours a day online competetively too even in a pub match ill play my hardest its become not even about having fun for me anymore its become about doing well every game and being the best and its also an escape from my depression
im sorry but find other things you're interested in if this is out of control
We'll see how fulfilling the game makes you feel in ten years and looking back at the time spent. You don't have to stop but maybe playing 5-9 hours daily isn't something to aim for, you can still play and do so much more with some of those hours spent playing
Time is a thing we can never bring back every minute is history but games is a thing we can always get back use your time wisely it could bring more happiness than depression

Facts.
At some point you need to ask what is the cause of the addiction?
Lol yeah don't blame the parents..... At a certain age your responsible for your own actions.
@@wing_gundamzero_5433 I am not blaming parents. But if we never receive attention and never can enjoy together with our family and dont have friends, people will always turn to gaming. Then you grow older and pass 18 and you become responsible for your own actions but that does not take away the fact that the parents did not give their child the attention they needed. I know they working hard for us but children would rather have parents who earned a bit less but gave their children attention. I respect parents.

I'm a deep gamer on my ps4, playing Destiny2 all night, all day an night. No sleep for 48 hours+. I've like this for 4 years.
I'm gonna be 28, I live with one of my parents, I take Valium pills for Anxiety an I use it to not get an epileptic seizure from gaming too much. I've been taking pills as long as I have been gaming intensely. I don't have a job, vehicle and I don't have my permit or license. I'm very spoiled because I don't take action into changing my life. I used to be active an fit until early October 2020. I sprained my ankle, an there i was laying in bed for months getting fat. Not working out anymore. I recently go outside and do some jump ropes to strengthen my body but after I'm done I usually spend two hours sitting down looking at my phone on RUclips. Wasting my life just like a video game addiction. Smartphones is very Reliant since you don't have to do anything. I feel it even reads your mind. You could be thinking of something randomly and it pops up on your phone. Weird.
I watch this video and makes me really want to change my life but I put so much time money and effort to my video gaming platform. I just can't get the courage to get rid of it. I have no friends, no money an no respect for myself.. my hygiene is really bad, teeth wise. Self-esteem levels suck. Motivation out the window, and addiction Non-Stop. It hurts.
Well damn..
Hey man I also struggle with VD addiction. I constantly go through phases of relapse which is extremely difficult to do but it can be done. You can do it. You have to honestly ask yourself what you want in life. If you wanna chat happy to. Talking to people on similar situations can make you feel much better and might help you succeed. All the best
Addiction and depression can go hand in hand. Most addicts live in their parents' basement, often filled with tresh and pop bottles, like those 4chan rooms you see on the net. Disgustingly filthy.

However I do get good grades in school as I always make room for that, I am in advanced courses, I do sports ( parkour, trampoline, cross country and basketball), I am an artist, and I am always outside. I also do stuff like build LEGO. However I always play games too. I usually play about one hour of PS4, half and hour of any other console I have ( I am a retro console and games collector who also has a PC and Switch) and I sometimes play DS. But yeah that is how I manage a healthy lifestyle alongside being a gamer

From what I can see, I think the gaming addiction was more a tool being used to escape from his parents. He may even have blamed himself for the fallout between the parents. Thus he became addicted to becoming good at something. Being the best, winning, these all feel good, and could dull or outright erase the feelings his real life left him with: Namely his parents breaking apart.
I'm worried for him if so, as he'll just become addicted to something else, and repeat all of this once he finds another easy dopamine fix to cling to, especially if it's one delivered as fast as what gaming can give. I do think if he found true control, given his work with sports games, that he'd make an amazing manager for a sports team.
that's exactly what happened to me . i used videogames as a tool to escape from the big negativism of my mother.
