Time to stop gaming.

gaming / over exposure to screen /rapidly changing scenes in music songs / mindless spending time / over emotional scenes in music or movies effects badly.

 

Few days is better than few or more years lol. You'll quit easely.

 

Don't do anything too much. But you need hobbies and activities to wind down. Just do it for a small period of time. You don't have to do it a lot or not at all. You need to learn to limit yourself.

 

That's a pretty awesome realization. Good for you.

 

Do it man, I've quit gaming a while ago, only good came out of that.

 

Yeah all action with no excersice! A total mindfuck. Like porn and virtual reality.

 

I used to play games a lot also i even stop talking to my friends and family i used to soo angry because i was not able to rank up in csgo. After leaving video games i have more social interaction also i am more happy now days and i am more focused in life

 

I've phased gaming out as well. Getting into online games I believe had kept me "in the game" for a lot longer than I believe I normally would have. Back when I was playing Phantasy Star Online in '01 I recall my mother telling me to go out and meet some friends. I responded by saying I am meeting friends, online. Looking back I can see my foolishness. Outside of Facebook, I don't recall ever meeting any of these internet friends in person. Though, really, that was the best I could do at the time. We can't blame ourselves for going to those places when they are there, waiting for people.

When there's commercials like these, how can people resist?



I suppose there's a bit of irony to be had with my time on PSO. Briefly I had started chatting with a person living in the same Province as me on the IGN forums. He showed me some videos of the game which immediately sold me. Never did see the guy online. I think a part of me did want to meet him in person. Even then, despite my inability to get out and meet people, I was still looking to get out.

 

very well said, ur thoughts and observations shows intelligence.

 

Phasing out games is great, I feel much better doing that. I do on the play games sometimes but it has to be as a rewards for doing something I didn't want and it has to have a strict limit on it.
I found that doing sudoku is a great way to fill in time gaps and I feel so much better winning that rather than online games, plus it has proven benefits.
