- Daniel tells the story of how he escaped the clutches of gaming addiction. he also apologizes for the ass video but it was all true 💩
I was a proud lvl 60 feral druid on the server neptulon. moved over to wow from star wars galaxies with my guild exile corp. we destroyed everyone in PvP on star wars and wanted to make a name for ourselves on wow too. but things didnt go that way. as members started hitting lvl.60 they wanted to start raiding and member after member betrayed us and left. I was so upset I thought they were loyal members and we were friends for ever but they left kust like that. the once mighty exile guild was reduce to a mere 20 or so core members. eventually the guild merged with another guild that wanted to start raiding and exile was no more. me and 3 others remade the guild to keep the name alive and to honour the memories we had in star wars galaxies. it was all over the end of an era. me and the 3 other people, ekomire, mattc and his sister, comtinued playing on as the very last members of exile. that's also were my druid spent his last days. who knows if the guild still exists or if it was automatically terminated. who knows if our town on dantooine still exists or not. I guess not since the servers shut down from what I heard. some of my fondest memories were made on star wars galaxies and wow. I miss those days sometimes. I miss playing with people and having a sense of community.
"from 16 to 18" only 2 years?
fkin casual.
cyka bylat
Or just smart enough to be self aware about the issue that it only took 2 years for him to realize it. Most of WoW plays are still delusional 34 years old ussles humans like me. Facts!
shut the fuck up
fr
Casual as F ghee hahahaha. He only a baby! LMAO
plot twist: his father was with him in the guild, he mocked him, made fun of him, just so he could quit WoW.
jokes aside, I'm glad you got a good point out of what happened to you. We learn from our mistakes and you are the proof of it. Only one thing I'd suggest to you, get a bit closer with your parents, they have sacrificed a lot and a relationship with parents will be most important thing in your life, remember that. They will always be there for you.
Danijel Vencler Crazy how so many of us don't realize that until it's too late.
You a weirdo
South park ?
Just imagine.
This is typical Social Anxiety. You Jump into Alcohol or into a DreamWorld where you feel good and normal, and not watched.
are there ways of fixing it?
Is it?
You get adicted to avoid Reality. Social Anxiety is a terrible Reality
Wow, thanks for making me feels like a complete pile of shit.
stoptakingusernamepls
Don't feel as bad. Anxiety can be quite crippling
it becomes harder to get addicted to anything when everything feels like it has no real purpose.
The problem is the internet is too useful now so there’s no sense of wonder and surprise because when you stuck out human brains are quick to find a solution. BACK THEN THO no internet info like that and you had to LEARN the game and nobody no comments was there to tell you how to play or if it sucked or not most of the times you took a chance
Idk I feel like it would be really easy for the most depressed purposeless person to get addicted to meth or crack
@@bigthonk4904 yes if you have problems in ur life it’s really easy to get addicted to drugs.
@@bigthonk4904 yeah the parent comment is the opposite of true
Blizz found a way to break people's addiction. It's called Battle for Azeroth
lol
lol
you should do a podcast or something. i could listen to your gay ass talk for hours.
He actually does he has a gaming/podcast channel
link
"I'm not blaming my parents" Continues to blame his parents.
He also became a paradox-addict lol.
Damn,never thought you quit school because of a game.
M6205 many people quit study here.... because of this trash
i quit work for dota2 hahahaha
My grandpa quit his job to play this shit game
@@asylkz really? what kkkk
@@FIoydMayweather you're not a loser! All I see is a guy who's self-aware, you still got plenty of time yo turn the tables hope you're doing well ✊
You have no idea how strong you are for admitting all this publicly. I went through a similiar situation and when I realised just what I had become I felt incredible shame. Well done for overcoming all of this, you've come a long, long way :)
I think WOW ruined everyone's life.
Shamika Luiggi nah actually it didn't, i enjoyed some of it's music, it was quite relaxing to hear and also that game inspired me more to do sports because i loved warrior so i've always loved to get physically buffed so i trained, oh and i even improved my english during it's gameplay.so eventually not all gamers ended up bad playing wow
Well I'm glad you were able to get into other activities.
This was me on cod not wow
It''s ruining my life now too, i'm playing in private server 3.3.5.
And then there are those who took their love for wow and made profit from it.... or went to work for the company.. the game does not ruin people's lives. You ruin your own.
My favorite anime is Diners, Drive-ins & Dives
our boy elliot rodger had a WoW addiction too
+Cats are Gods didnt he also play as a druid? My main was a feral druid up until the burning crusade
so he says. virgin in denial
Cats are Gods When you loose on Kahoot so you Kashoot up a school
Cats are Gods elliot rodger is someone who you could literally see the psychopath within him. His family probably always knew he would be the end of at least one other person
Cats are Gods after my div i got into warcraft 27 to 32 idk were time went
"Anime is for losers" - WoW players
Lmao
JoshiSippinLean That's what normal people say too, so... It makes WoW players more human like.
I wish you a good day.
How is the new year going for you?
Anime does suck though
Shush Youtoo Nah. They are good with a nice story. Same with American shows.
Guntars ;p I just use it as a form of entertainment. I have to get away from league and anime seems like the best way at the moment. Watching something is a lot easier to put down then playing.
People who genuinely dislike anime, think to yourself why you dislike it, then think about what anime you have actually watched. See if there's any correlation between the two.
i have tons of Wow addiction stories , like i missed my cousins wedding because i was in a dungeon back in wotlk when dungeons took awhile and i didnt wanna leave it i was so close to lvl 80 which was cap back then , if my friends come over to visit they could sit on my bed and watch tv or play my playstation while i did dungeons/bgs or sometimes they just fell asleep on my bed and slept there half the night while i farmed for gold , i have so many stories like that lol
did u see chinese farmer ?
I actually live for your videos, Daniel.. i found you two days ago from the Elliot rogers video, and now i can't stop watching.. it's like a drug, honestly.
Taethetic so you enjoy watching poor kid talking about his fucked up life
I actually found him that way too 👌
Claude Debussy its fake lol ,he is reading a script and his story isnt even that goof
You gotta try crack.That`s a funny addiction .
Rob AnyBody yeah so funny it cracks me up
Cleerly Theory that’s a good one
HAHAHAHAHAHA
Students majoring in computer science and technology are interested in cracking.China has too many such guys , SAD
Oh my yes yes
I think it's good that this young man recognises how his parents' neglect contributed towards his addiction. It seems like he was fortunate enough that a more useful interest eventually gripped him.
Dude you remind me of those 2011 videos of teens just speaking about their life inside their bedroom, only you're not using your shitty laptop mic and camera to record everything. 👌I like what you do, keep it up.
Those old TH-cam videos were the best, I love it
Thank you for the story, I related with it many times and my addiction growing up was also video games but mine was Diablo 2
9:54 That went from 0 to 100 reeeaaal quick.
😂😂
How come you regret this? I did the same if not worse. The story about your friends behind you I did the same but with a girlfriend and we literally never spoke again because of it. But WoW was some of the most enjoyable and exciting times of my life. I wouldn't replace it with anything...that addiction and passion you felt was raw and I think we should be more grateful that we had such a thing! :D ...I do see where you're coming from though.
+RHDL i don't regret it :) I regret treating my real life friends badly when they came to see me. I have a lot of fond memories from wow and swg as well and im glad I have them
I agree with you mate. I had a really bad addiction to WoW, lost friends, jobs, dropped out of school.
However, my brother and I have never been closer as we shared this addiction and brotherhood in the game and that was such a bonding point. Some of the best times of my life.
Coincidentally, after Cataclysm released and literally saved my life to allow me to quit, I lost 120 pounds, snagged a wife and got a full time job that pays salary.
So if there's motivation for me to stay away from WoW? It's to realize how far I've come by not playing WoW.
That being said, I do miss the living hell out of those days and that game in particular but that is a slippery road that I can't touch.
Talk more about your relationship with your father.
People obsessed with world of warcraft saying anime is lame 🤦🏻♀️
It is tho
Damn, you got out quick. I remember I was addicted to World of Warcraft up until the Cataclysm expansion. I did so terrible in school because all I wanted to do was play World of Warcraft. I lost a bunch of friends because of World of Warcraft, except for my best friend who also played it, but he didn't have an addiction to it, so he was like my only connection to reality while I was addicted to it. Oddly enough, I became obsessed with Japan, like anime, and the girls, specifically Japanese music, that stuff is so good even though I can only understand a little bit of Japanese... anyway, I became obsessed with that stuff too while I was addicted to World of Warcraft, but I guess it wasn't enough to really push me away from the game. Cataclysm was so terrible, I remember not wanting to really sink time into it, and I was free... for awhile. I went to college and got a job, life was looking good... and then League of Legends became a thing and also ruined my life. Now I'm finally over being addicted to WoW and to League, but unfortunately it's a little too late because I feel like those games ruined a lot of opportunities for me, especially now. I'm still obsessed with Japan and attempt to teach myself Japanese (but I have terrible memory, so I forget if I don't constantly use it) but my depression and anxiety is so bad, not to mention school put me in debt, that I'm afraid to push myself towards visiting Japan.
Lord Kardok league of legends was super addicting! Until the the huge new update came out. Never really played World of Warcraft though. Interesting story too. Hope all works for ya man
I've played XYQ(夢幻西游 a Chinese online game) for about 12 years, Fortunately, I’m about to graduate from college. I major in automation，Thanks god ! love your video thanks for sharing from Hong Kong
I had a WoW addiction...
3 min later...
I went to Japan and had Sex. Um alright!
Games arent bad mate, you just need some self control.
Toke Asaurus420 It's almost like conclusions can be implied, dumbass.
Toke Asaurus420 He's talking like it is a drug. Yes, he's talking about addiction. However, it would be like talking about a cocaine addiction... Even if not specifically stated, it is implied that cocaine is bad. For example, "cocaine ruined my life, by yada yada yada". UMMM it's implied dont do cocaine ?!?
Toke Asaurus420 OR THAT VIDEO GAMES ARE ADDICTIVE!??? THE FUCK ?!!?
Toke Asaurus420 In science 90% of the time we preform studies on things that are addictive. NOT addictive perso alities in general. So safe to assume either way, but there is not fault in my logic
Toke Asaurus420 I have a degree in Biology, I think I know what Im talking about 😂 you just have the wrong idea regarding the issue addressed, let it out bro, youre wrong
Category "Autos & Vehicles". Ok.
Daniel you are a 10/10 guy. Enyoj life my crazy brother
Quite moving. My parents were a lot more firm when it came to video games. But they were also encouraging me to try out new things, they didn't just say "games are evil" or something like that. And every time I asked how they lived back when they were my age, what were their hobbies etc... They'd sincerely answer.
I stated playing WoW at 14 and probably played 10 hours a day until i was 20, It ruined my chances at A levels, and probably stopped me from going to university. However many of the people I met are still my friends, I don't regret any of my time spent playing it, however looking back I do feel like my time could've been spent better, Also kinda worth noting that i was the only 15 year old in a very strict 18+ guild. I was quite mature for my age, but at the same time under-developed as I didn't get the "real" social experience until much later.
“i used the scoped pistol” this man has never touched halo in his life
IM NOT OKAYYYYY 6:09
Take a shot everytime he says “Star Wars Galaxies”
i was the same way with Runescape a long time ago... until i woke one day and said to myself "what the fk am i doing with my life?". So instead i started going to the gym and worked 2 jobs to distract myself from gaming. Since then, i've been doing pretty well for myself :)
I am an ex wow addict. Good on you spreading the message 💜
Honest video. It depends on the personality. If you have the personality of a compulsive perfectionist where you always want the best stuff and learn the most it is better to put it in something productive. I had problems with games because I was doing it compulsively and decided to put into other things that make me happy and also benefit me. So if you have a personality like this you should avoid MMO's because they are designed to exploit those compulsive traits.
Wasn’t the game, was yourself
say that to my face
I currently have a world of Warcraft addiction and went cold turkey today. Wish me luck.
it takes a lot realize the problem and fix it i look up to you like you were my father i never had so what i'm trying to say here is thank you thank you so much.
Thank you for sharing this. I am a blind gamer and have no ability to play WOW but I am very aware that it can really affect lives. I'm just glad you talked about it.
Well you have nice parents, they wanted to make you happy, and they knew that taking away what you love was going to make you unhappy... it's tough being a parent
I used to play WOW, then I found out its kill and collect so many pelts, move to next area kill and collect so many horns, go to next area kill and collect teeth. Same thing just different areas, thought "this is dumb" then I went to gym and got married to the love of my life, and never looked back.
Idk how I got to this video but I like your honesty and I used to play a ton of wow myself back then. I used to be in a terrible state both healthy and socially. over the years it has gotten better luckily
I used to be a wow addict but I never regret playing the game :D
You have mentioned my two favorite anime of all time...Evangelion and Welcome to the NHK.
it was about to ruin my life too and it was my own fault...I HAD A CHOICE... as we all make choices in our lives! I was ignoring friends and family to play a silly fantasy game! I even phoned in sick from work as I work a 12 hr rotating shift to raid = PATHETIC! The biggest downfall was I play guitar with 2 other lads and we play in a quiet coffee shop and a cocktail lounge called elements and they told me they would have to find someone else if I wasn't interested any more and that was the wake up call for me as I love these guys like brothers and I love to play music. It is too bad the game is structured so you have to spend so much time at it for the average joe to accomplish anything in the game and that is the way it is marketed for you to keep playing and for them to make money off your lengthy subscription. So beware and there is a lot of life to live out there and its a wasted life to sit in front of a computer screen for hours on end or even days on end...YOUR BETTER THAN THAT! This game is a very well engineered game however Blizzard has not got the insight to see how it has the potential to become a problem for some and the almighty dollar reigns supreme to them!!!
This is a real addiction that ruins people lives.
I was with a man for 11 years who had a world of warcraft addiction.
Everything else was great in our relationship. He was an amazing man and my very best friend.
The last 3 years of our relationship it got so bad that we rarely saw each other. He would spend every bit of his free time playing. I tried to hang on as long as possible. He lost so many of his friends already over it.
Eventually ended it with him over it. Sad really. I still care about him but he just disappeared into the game entirely.
@Benny It is just like a drug; offers an escape from reality. And if you don't like your life or have anything to do or look forward to in real life, it works to give you an escape from that and you get to be someone else for a moment.
And we have been split up for 8 years now. I've just stayed single all these years. Idk if he regrets it or not, but I don't. I still care for him but I know that I would have spent these last 8 years chasing the love of a man who was in love with something else. At least now I am free of that urge and I got my self-respect back.
"i dont wanna blame my parents but..." *blames parents* ?
Vadopa as a parent, I do have to say that the parents are somewhat to blame here. I would never allow my children to lost in a game like this.
Vadopa no one wants to blame any one else. Duh.
It just happens to be the case
Leave WoW ? you can never leave ! it will come back! it always comes back, always haunting m! wisps in my ear to play more.... AaaAAAaAHHHH.
Honest, intelligent, sweet and amazing❤
Your best video so far... Imao. Well that is until I finish watching all of them. Cheers
I was a WoW addict from 2004 to 2007 after a relationship had ended in 2004. After Burning Crusade I got bored with the game and didn't feel like grinding out another 10 levels....felt like a never ending cycle and pointless afterward. I wasted 3 years of my life on a game that I couldn't even finish.
daniel, you remind me of that episode of south park where cartman gets addicted to WoW.
World of wacraft.i was an addict to it badly. I broke up with my girlfriend over it.i always stayed at my friends basement for days with barely no sleep. My mother thought i got kidnapped until i finally called her and told her i was okay. Then my addiction definitely got worst when my former friend stole 250 gold from my account. I almost stabbed him with a butter knife out of anger but then i realized i was losin it so i left his house. Then i reflected and realized how bad that game got me.wasnt healthy at all.
Just stumbled across this video. Really well told. Nice job mate and grats on the escape^^
I live about 5 minutes walk away from you and you served me and my girlfriend at the petrol station a few times. See you around.
+Spb121 really 😂
Yes. I found this channel by chance earlier and realised that it was you. I was surprised to say the least. :)
+Spb121 i didn't think people that knew me in real life would be able to find my channel just by chance so easily 😶
Well if you don't believe me, I can post a nice handwritten letter through your letterbox later or tomorrow with my name and YT username (which is my initials by the way) written on it to prove that I am no liar. :) Nice channel by the way. You're funny.
I live on pilgrims way. Never been to the service station where he worked. But not too far from it.
You only had your self to blame. I grew up like normal people do.
I used to do heroin, then i found your videos. I quit school and i cant stop watching them...
These people have a addictive personality. no matter what, drugs, cigarettes, drinking or porn. Video games just got to him first.
People are making a lot of jokes here, but OP, you need to know something: You have an extremely addictive personality. You are VERY lucky it's only video games you've been addicted to. You should avoid alcohol and drugs and any unhealthy behavior, because you will turn anything into an addiction if you like it enough. I know because I'm the same way.
I hope Pokémon doesn't do same thing to me.......
this is very abnormal and his parents were enabling it don't worry
Cool story! nice to hear you broke free, at what time did you play WoW? what expansion?
I got addicted to wow, then I introduced the game to my friends. Worst mistake I ever made, I still regret doing that. They all became addicted and the bunch of us basically ruined our lives while playing games.
well i play world of warcraft but i dont have that big addiction i just get bored 30 mins of of playing always getting good grades and going outside
Sehr gut...genau dafür ist TH-cam da. Um dir den ganzen Scheiß endlich mal von der Seele zu reden, setzt du dich vor die Kamera und erzählst der ganzen Welt genau das, was dir passiert und wie es sich für dich angefühlt hat. Respekt dafür. Sehr mutig ,all das so offen zu sagen. Weiter so! Und scheiß auf die hirntoten Kommentare von den ganzen Creeps hier... Ach und übrigens...Es ist mir scheißegal, das hier nur "in englischer Sprache" (HäHä) kommentiert wird.
Games are a curse on life for real, it's sad how currently I only have online friends and all of them suffer from gaming addiction like me.
Look at the skills you gained from MMOs. I know it sounds silly but video games sharpen so many skills. I was surely addicted but I believe WoW had a positive influence on my life.
By the way, you gonna relapse with WoW Classic too? 😅
Why does this video have so many dislikes? I can relate to this story a bunch and I had a very similar problem with league of legends. It ruined my life. I slowly started to grow out of it, seeing its flaws and how much time I wasted on something so useless. I’m so much happier now, and my life is a lot more positive now. I’m very thankful my parents actually pushed me away from it
It is a privilege to play World of Warcraft and it hurts me to hear kids wasting their subscription
Hey man, I just hope you don't do a day of retribution or something like that.
I think the main reason your father didnt just buy a computer, is precisely because the fact that your sister and other people in the house needed to use it prevented you from losing touch from reality.
Even if fights werent exactly pleasant, your sister still pulled you back to reality and thenn gave you time to reflect on your behavior after dad turned the internet off.
Maybe your dad kept paying your subscription because he wanted you to quit on your own, and realize your mistakes, its like a drug, if you re on the peak of your addiction, and then you suddenly stop playing because of the money, you most likely start doing ANYTHING yo get money to pay for your addiction.
Maybe your father though that if he took it away just like that, you would take some reckless decisions.
And about your friends, i feel sorry about that. i get you, there are times when you just wanna stay home and do your stuff, but you shouldnt have treated them like that.
I hope your experiences helped you grow as a person, and you know, you re still young, strong, and more importantly, and independent adult with no babies (the best thing ever) so you can use your money in whatever way you want, and give explanations to no one but you
enjoy your life
Its good that you take the responsibility, and also you see how your parents could have done things differently, you will know what to do if you have children in the same situation.
Played for 24+ hours straight one time.Couldnt go to bed had panic attack and was almost in a manic state never doing this shit again...
He mentioned friends...
Lol! Your dad wanted you to stop playing AND he paid for your subscription!? omg ..
9:21 I agree to this more than i agreed to any statement before
Edit: And also the fact that you got addicted to anime makes me lose hope in humanity. Japan is a a nice country but when people fanboy it over anime it makes me sick. Also i cant believe you loved it so much you learned a new language. TBH that's impressive but sad at the same time.
Why do u think it is for losers?
Bud, You're being too hard on yourself. We are ALL kids at one time...at ONE time in this life. You have your whole life ahead of you. Trust me, as you mature and age you will look back at these days and wonder why you were so hard on yourself. Good luck to you and remember...You will grow up whether or not you want too, it just happens. God bless,
To be honest. I would love to go back to my WoW addiction again if I could. But now I need to work daily at my work
Stop being baby, wow is a blessing.
I hated growing up as a kid I didn’t have a good time being at home getting picked on my brother everyday and my alcaholic Aunty...
From maybe 11 - 17 I played video games 24/7 then I found a girlfriend
I treasured her with my heart and soul... I finished year 12
But I have never had a job so I struggle to get a job...... she left me for another guy with a job after 4 years of being together she just blocked me from all social media and cut me off...
Now I don’t know what I’m doing with my life and spend everyday looking at random jobs applying for anything but getting nowhere just living every single day at home alone....
I’m now 21 it’s Fkd
Never done drugs never been a huge drinker just
Had a bad introverted life which had made me a hermit....
Im not sucidal but a life restart would be fkn great
The same thing may have happened to me if I got started with MMOs. When I was young, I played video games all the time. I still had my normal life, but hearing this story, it could have easily happened to me.
i started playing it when it came out. it's been consuming me ever since and with the advent of HC it will probably consume me forever
There's three types of people I really don't like in this world: guys who hit girls, weaboos, and a combination of the two.. but do what you like.................................
yea this game also ruined my life and still is to this day its an evil game and knowone should ever play it if they haven't already 10 years of this and my body is a worthless piece of shit is almost incapable of sports and anything physical anymore and is only getting worse by the day i cant hold a job for the life of me because i feel like shit all the time their basically is no hope for me save yourselves while you still can.
man
somehow i can relate
good thing that you made it :')
Shit im so happy for you that makes me cry :')
I used to like hiphop but i’m 35 now and don’t feel like listening to it anymore.
I had instead a REALLY bad league of legends addiction.
BOBBYS BOYS same, so glad i quit
same. feels so good to quit lol
saame i quit 6 months ago
I still play the game now, back in like season 4 to 6 though was when I was terribly addicted to the game.
I used to play it for 8 hrs a day now i play for 2
My suspicion is that if your mom (mum) had made you come to the table instead of bringing your dinner you would have either a)not eaten or b) your presence at the table would have been insufferable. Just some thoughts from a stepmom of two teenage boys.
Fuck man I wish I had that problem. I have to worry about real world shit. Child support and females getting on my damn nerves. You are blessed with games.
I wanna say I used to play Blade and Soul but that is a misuse of the word play. I used to WORK on my character for hours on end. I picked it up because the combat seemed neat and the titty physics were top notch. But over time I found myself engaging in obnoxious in-game tasks I would've taken no part in if they weren't bribing me with in-game currency and items. I'd go in every morning like "oh I'll just play this shit for an hour or two then draw or something" and the game's like "nah fam, do this daily 4 quest challenge, take part in this seasonal event, kill this player with a bounty on their head, rank up in arena, buy this outfit, BTW ur expensive 12 hour crafting item from this morning is gonna be done in 45 minutes, so you'd better stick around a pinch longer." Then I'd look outside and it would be night time again.
This thing I did for fun was becoming enough work to rival my actual job at the time, only with more swearing. I'll save you the clan/party drama which convinced me to drop the game for good. What's important is that there is an information super high way full of unique, non-intrusive games, as well as other past times; so why let one hypnosis experiment pin me down with an all day choke-hold any longer?
I have never been addicted to videogames to that extent before. I guess it’s something that only can affect certain people
Evangelion theme song was amazing..
Not for me. Quite the contrary. I learned all my English from wow, am from non-english speaking country. Never had to study for a English test and always got A+. Even took advanced English courses for "free points" in school. Also learned to code SQL, HTML, CSS, JAVA & PHP because of World of Warcraft private servers. I was admin on Wow-beez, Kamical wow and many others. Also owned my own private server with 400 players peak and made some nice money as a 15 year old. I even put that on my application when I was looking for my job, and they brought it up excitedly. I also bonded with my dad on WoW, boosted his character in scarlet monastery until he got tabard and axe etc. So no, not everyone has had their life ruined by WoW. It just made my life better, and I am so grateful my dad bought me the game when I was 9 years old back in 2004. Only thing wow probably took away from me was my interest in hooking up with girls, which is pretty bad I guess lol, but nothing I can't catch up with now in my early 20's.
My family had a single rule. Quite relatable since I study under UK system.
"I can do whatever the hell I want as long as I get 90 UMS or above in every single subject."
Nole_ In my opinion, this is not a great rule at all. I was definitly addicted to gaming and maintained good grades because I just was quick at learning, like doing homework in bus or in other classes
yeah but now you've got lots of opportunities for job paths because you've got good grades ^ alot of people failed their classes and now dont have opportunities. You might be addicted to games but at least you can get a good job and then go home and play your games all day
how is it not a good rule? I also want to say I'm not addicted to gaming or anime. I can easily bring myself to do my other responsibilities.
im currently playing wow but what i could say is if you can control yourself like make a time to play you wont regret it,i played like 3-5 hours a day while i have free time, and that's enough .. what im trying to say is. if you want to play and if you think youll regret it just manage your play time thats it .. no regret
Actually was looking for comment like this in there! It's all about person and time managment...
Lol fuck that during summer I played 8 to 10 hours a day
There's a point where managing time cannot work. Addicts have to stop cold turkey. It's is analogous to someone who is an alcoholic at this point. You cannot have one beer and be okay.
ok, so im watching a video about how WOW is addictive and ruined a mans life and then i get a WOW advertisment...
thanks for sharing mate, u r awesome
IT DOESNT MATTER WHAT GAME YOU PLAY. IT WILL DESTROY YOUR LIFE.. AND IT'[S AN AFFAIR
I see a lot of people in the comments mocking and trolling but ppl need to realise that gaming addiction is a real thing
I was severely addicted to roblox and I lost out on my college admissions because I couldn’t meet the required grades and cutoff .... but I somehow managed to get into a decent college
Somehow I spun out of my addiction and I am really really thankful for that
I had to do various things like disconnecting computers to getting into some activity
It was tough .... it’s tougher then substance abuse because you can avoid a particular substance but you cannot avoid something online which is easily accessible and addicting .... it’s not funny at all .... gaming addiction is a real thing
