Am i addicted to gaming?

Hey I'm currently wondering if I'm addicted

A new game has come out that everyone has been playing for days. You can play it crossplay so ps4 and pc can play together that I and my friends haven't had for a long time, that means we can have fun together again like in the last few days.

I gave my life to god and got away from all addictions through god.

So now it's gaming. I've been playing since I was a child. Is it time to put that down too? Am I playing too much?

I play 3 hours in the morning and 2-3 hours in the evening + - on the day 7 hours maybe too much?

I'm at home for 5+ weeks now.

Of course I don't play much on school days 0-2h sometimes 2 hours sometimes not at all.

Well, as long as you still get away and still work or do sports, everything is still ok.

You are addicted when you just can't stop playing

Thank you.

Thank goodness I still have it under control

The time you play on the computer is lost time.

It won't come back.

At worst, you neglect school, family, friends, and more meaningful hobbies like sports or music.

So I would say it's an addiction mixed with habit. Just play 3 hours a day or more then only on the weekend and not at all during the week. Then you also have something to look forward to during the week.

No, I really don't.

The gym is currently closed and I went 3 times a week. I really don't neglect anything except in the evening I neglect my family, because everyone is sitting in the living room and I in the room

Oh oh oh. Looking forward to the weekend has destroyed my life. I'm firmly convinced that if I were allowed to play every day I would have been better at school. The week felt like I had been taken away from drugs and I could never concentrate. Always thought of the game. I'm not like that anymore

How so? When someone sings or makes music, they are creative. I didn't mean "listening to music", although I also think it makes more sense than computer games.

Who cares if he is creative, he does useless stuff.

Of course, gaming is better than playing an instrument.

Normal people don't want to be able to play an instrument at all.

Computer games are much more useful than useless music.

It is a problem from the point that you find yourself burdened, I think.

So I know e.g. If I go on vacation and have no cell phone with me, so I have nothing electronic, then I come back fully relaxed with more vigor. But everyone is different

You sound like my mother, mom is it you?

I recognize my children. 😅

7 hours a day is far too much. You should only play 45 minutes a day at most (or cell phone watching TV together)

Try to limit your playing time and become less and less with the seasons. You are addicted, but if you want and that is the decisive thing, the WILL to stop this waste of time, then you will make it. I did it too. (from 3 hours a day until completely stopped) You can calculate how much life is wasted

Why wasted? If I have nothing to do anyway?

What is wasted on it. I enjoy it

Nothing to do? Didn't you say you gave your life to God? Then read the Bible. There's a lot to do. But of course it's up to you. That was just my recommendation.

Yes, you're right.
