Hello, I got a story to tell you guys about my game addiction. I'm turning 20 next year. I'm jobless and a college dropout. I spend way too much time on playing games, like Dota 2, MMO or any online games that has anything to do with socialize. I'm also an introvert which I don't really like to spend my time outside and making friends. I've lost a lot of friends recently due to staying home 24/7 and yeah, I'm at the stage where you depress and full of anxiety. I spend around 17 hours alone on computer, and another 7 hour on my bed. I'm getting skinnier each month and lost appetite all the time. Also I am a heavy smoker, a pack a day, usually U2 or any type of cheap cigarette. Yes! I'm lazy as hell, you could say. I'm never motivated to do something and no will to live. I'm afraid whats going to happen to me for next 5 years. I tried my best applying jobs online, like MauKerja, Jobstreet and etc. I never get a call or a chance for an interview. I always think that I'm so good at playing games until I kept or dreaming playing for esport, which is a very risky move honestly. Without a 2nd plan of career in my life. I might as well be homeless for next 5 year. I can't keep asking for my parents money and should start earning by myself. I'm anak haram for sure man, yikes. I would be grateful for some encouragement and advice on what should I do next, or steps in order for me to get back to my normal human life. I'm very jealous of my other siblings and friends earning their own money without help from their parents.  icon_question.gif  icon_question.gif
Hope you guys can understand well what i'm writing, especially the grammar. Sorry!  rclxub.gif

I feel you. Hardcore ex-dota (ancient 4). 7k hours of dota since beta. 899 games on injoker alone. From foundation days to my first year working. You know what woke me up?

Losing. Like streaks of them. Sea of reds. Then i start menyampah with the community (do i have to explain?). Uninstalled that gaben outta my PC. Focus more to my wife and career (thank god i passed my degree on time). Now I just bought a car and now lurking at Persona owner thread.

TBH, i still miss the old carefree days. I occassionally watch funkefal tinker games and sumiya joker on youtube but... you just know when your time is up. I’m not as nimble when i was young, flexible to learn the games and energetic enough to keep track on drafting and metas. Plus, kau tgk kawan2 kau dh mula ada anak, houses, cars. And i’m lucky i am not that far behind.

You will get over it. It happened just like that for me. Your interest will shift to something else. Aku dh start tgk kereta and its related thread. Reading and investing in ASB. Looking for a new house. Better job opportunities. Ready for my first born. And still, dota is not a part of me that simply died and left behind, cuma kau akan rasa ‘meh’, when it comes to playing it all out when that time comes. To the point that, kau uninstall, kau dh malas nk install balik, and simply move on with your life.

Dont worry too much. That time. Will come. Your skill are not gonna be iron clad forever. The meta will outgrow you.

And you will outgrow dota like the rest of 400k players that have quit since beta.
