Gamers who are addicted need to admit that they are facing that challenge. As far as I am concerned, that is the first attempt at getting better. Once that is done, we can then talk about the need for them to see life as it is and consider making adjustments to the way they play these games.

Gaming addiction often comes from how games are designed to keep you engaged, combined with psychological needs like escape, achievement, and social connection. Reward systems, progression loops, and daily tasks can create habits that are hard to break, especially when they provide quick emotional relief from stress or boredom.

Gaming addiction often stems from escapism, reward loops, social connection, or stress relief. Games can become unhealthy when they replace real-life balance. You need to set limits, understand emotional triggers, and build offline routines.

I feel its just not the games itself, but what it gives the person to escape from. A lot of things going on in the world right now and most people don't want to deal with it so they escape to games.

One reason why people get addicted to games is because they want to distance themselves from the reality. When people spend a lot of time playing games, they will lose sense of reality. This will create a lot of issues in their mental, emotional, as well as physical health. The best way to deal with this is to pick up a hobby that has nothing to do with devices.

This is apt and right on point. The truth is that gaming is a coping mechanism for some and they play these games just to shy away from some pressures in life.

It is why, in some instances, it is very important to seek the root cause of why one is addicted to playing games because that will explain if they are actually playing to have fun or using it as a means to run away from their reality.

I personally enjoy running away from reality, it kind of sucks these days.
