Video-games... They took a large chunk of my life, too. Everyone's different, but my choice of games was mostly competitive, and destructive. (Tekken, LoL) This led to a loss of fulfilment, for I wasn't building anything. Winning felt like nothing. Games did improve my reactions, though. I've noticed them dwindle since abstaining. I've since redirected my energy into computer programming, with the help of my wife, Crystal. My gaming lifestyle affected my relationship; made me impatient, intolerable. Crystal saw these emotions and reflected them, allowing me to see who I was and change. I wish I could balance gaming, but I get too addicted. Especially with matching algorithms designed to keep players playing (prominent in both Tekken and LoL). Games can be beneficial, especially in the form of simulators. Anyway, kudos to your self-awareness, and good luck on your journey. PS. How old are you, and where are you from? (Guess: Australia, 20)
Yep! Correct on the identity guess! I am from Australia how could you tell? From my accent? Ahahhaha But yeah, I totally resonate with you brother. Balance is nice but knowing me, I also get too addicted and start thinking of it when I’m away from the computer (that’s a problem) because not only is it making me not present in my circumstance, it’s also robbing my focus in actually working and dedicating time to things I actually love such as my self development so I can gift those around me with love. As corny as that sounds, I was getting to say that it’s just hard to balance video games in your life atleast from my experience because it’s not just 1 hour on and then off, it lingers for hours more to come.
Hey bro ! Yeah my acne was extremely bad. It definitely did affect my confidence and self image at the time but slowly improving my health habits (meditations, gym) habits and diet and (Acutane) made me realise that life is too short and I work too hard to be giving too much smicks about what people think! Took a lot of searching and I still am searching for my true authentic dream life always. I realise I love seeing people happy after achieving things which they long for work hard for years. That’s what drives me and my confidence.
I think the gaming needs balance just like every other form of entertainment. Gaming is useful for memory, fun, learning a language but once it holds you back from life then becomes a problem. I can say for myself that I was an addict as a kid I used to play lot of games on my ps2 and ps3 and got bad in school almost fell the school perhaps and now few years later I just don't have that drive to do it like so many more important things happened over the years and you just don't have a time.
Hey yeah totally agree! For me though finding balance with games is quite hard because from my experience i still think of the game even after when it’s over and it hinders my focus on things which I actually care more about. Everybody’s different and hey!

Yeah exactly. I personally only play during the weekend. Everything needs balance
