Im 25/Live at home with my parents and work Full time in IT. Im not overweight, I weigh 140 Pounds and my Diet is horrible.
All my life I have loved computers. I have used them ever since i was a few years old. Always playing and tinkering with things.
My normal day goes something like this.
- Wake up at 8am for work.
- Sit down all day at work.
- Come home at 4.
- Fluff about on the PC till 6
- Have Dinner
- From 6:30 to 12am I goto my room and game/use the computer.
Im on my PC 7 Hours per day during the week (14 Hours per day if you include work) and 12 On weekends
The last few years its come to the realization that I very rarely do I play games for fun anymore. I merely do it to pass the time. I have this weird mentality that I need some sort of incentive/reward for doing anything in my life. Without this incentive/reward doing anything else seems pointless to me
I dont play Story games because the "story" doesnt interest me. I mainly play PVP games, Specifically league of legends. Too much league of legends.
PVP Games give me this rush of dopamine that makes me keep wanting more and pushing forward to get better and improve. The feeling of vsing other players and being better than them is so rewarding to me. Its the Incentive that entices me the most to play more
I dont interact with my family much, Im just sit in my room all day and game with my friends and watch twitch/youtube videos
Those that have Quit Video games or too a very long extended break, What did you do with your spare time?
You cant fill every second of your day with something.
I want to take an extended break from using my computer and playing video games
Please give me your advice
Thanks!
