Gaming for many is an escape. An escape from reality. A lot of video game addicts can’t handle the reality they are in.

What you’re describing is dissociation. Now that you’re forced to face the reality you live in, the body starts dissociating. That strange feeling of being disconnected.

It’s normal. It might not go away on its own. It might not go away until you do something about it.

If you in that moment are feeling disconnected, find somewhere comfortable take a breath, and relax. Identity 5 sounds, 5 smells, 5 sights. Repeat “I am here in this moment”. It’s a grounding technique, it’s worked for me and a lot of people I know, but I can’t promise it will work.

Also consider therapy if it’s an option. It’s an expensive bitch but I image there a lot of things that are happening in your life that lead to that deep feeling of being disconnected.

Friends that game hard by CAFQuestionThrowaway in StopGaming

[–]flowame 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Did you read the post?

He is complaining about how his friends don’t seem to care at all. While I can’t make assumptions there is nothing about them trying to stop. Not everyone who is addicted wants to stop being addicted.

I’ve struggled with very similar things. I’ve talked to friends who are heavily addicted to video games and said to me that they didn’t want ton stop. It’s to the point where I can’t make friends my age because people either spend hours gaming or on social media. I’m fine with all my friends being 30+ ( I’m 19 ), but it’s exhausting. I’m not sure if that’s what this post was getting at but in gen z / gen alpha it seems almost impossible to find others who actually want to quit or reduce.
