10 Ways That Gaming Is Destroying Your Life

Gaming is a fantastic pastime if you're the type of creature who enjoys wasting hours of your real-life spent in various sham universes playing out the stories of fake heroes and villains. But so what? Everyone needs a hobby to help them survive the soul-crushing monotony of this screen filled, social media nightmare… with yet another screen. Yes, as games are interactive, they are far better for you than gawking at a television screen, unwashed and shirtless. However, because games are interactive, they tend to create strong emotional attachments that trick gamer's brains into systematically ruining their life from the inside out.

Over the years I’ve been on both sides of the video game addiction argument. Now, however, I’m more on the yeah, it is an activity that can take over your life, therefore there could be cases that it is an addiction…  side of the dispute. The reason for this is an addiction is defined as “being addicted to a particular substance or activity and or affecting your (or others around you) lifestyle.”

So in our case, the activity is playing video games and judging by this list, it’s a safe bet to say your lifestyle takes a swift kick in the sack. And that’s the main problem, when what you love doing – playing sport, collecting Warhammer or playing video games – affects how you live your life, it’s probably time for change.

Maybe you have seen yourself in some – or God forbid – all of the points in this article. Maybe you don’t agree with any of it and think I’m just trying to poke the fanboy bear. Whatever you think, leave a comment down below and let us know.
