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.
Hope you guys can understand well what i'm writing, especially the grammar. Sorry!
I was the exact same as you. Dropped out of college at 20, started smoking at 21, spent everyday at home playing game (work part time occasionally so I can feed my gf at that time), of course, she cannot tahan eventually coz I spent way too much time on gaming. I then realize I cannot spend the rest of my days like that, I went to restart college the following year because everyone around me already completed studies and I kinda felt the pressure when we hang out, they use their own money happily while I have to look at price since I'm spending parents' money. As usual, I got the ultimate excuse to continue my gaming addiction when I'm back to school. Skip ahead, barred and failed a few course, I eventually graduated albeit a diploma only. Hope you guys can understand well what i'm writing, especially the grammar. Sorry!
Been working since then, pay is not that great at least I'm doing well now, I still think of gaming every now and then and play whenever I can, but the addiction is definitely gone.
Point is, we can't really help you. All we can do is tell you our experience and then only you can help yourself. I restarted my life very late and am now way behind in life while friends already bought house/car and I've only been working for a year. I still spend my salary buying games. Cutting down on those now.
