How the fuck do I quit playing vidya for good?
Ever since I can remember I've wasted my time on this bullshit. I don't legitimately care about anything else. When I'm at work I just want to get home and the only thing I do at home is play video games. I nearly failed highschool like 2 times just because it deterred me from doing homework, and I wouldn't have passed had it not been for my parents threatening to kick me out. I think it's the main reason why I've never really had any long-standing relationships with anyone outside of my family, and I don't even mean that as in girlfriends or whatever, just absolutely no friends at all other than the guys I played video games with.
People tell me just to get no hobbies but it's never that easy. What else would I do? Read? Nigga that shits boring. Watch TV/Movies? That's literally just the same thing with a different paint job. This is probably just some form of addiction to stimulation or whatever which will go away with detox but you get my point.
Any suggestions?

What do you want to achieve in life?
If you are able to pay bills and all you want is to play games, i see 0 reason to try force yourself to not play them. Just make sure you arent morbidly obese and have a shower from time to time and clean clothes when you go to job.
In time you will grow bored of it and decide for yourself what to do with your life. No need to hurry. And now the real question:
>what games do you play?
I'm not sure how useful this will be to you, but a big motivator for me to do work and stay away from the vidya is to listen to music. Once I start, I keep going for hours and forget about everything else. I guess it acts as a distraction from the distraction.
Maybe you could do the same. Find something you enjoy doing more than playing, something that focuses you on what is important. I'm just about the same as you right now and it is difficult to stop wasting time as much as I currently do.
I hope this helps, anon.
I recently quit vidya permanently so I'm in a similar situation.
T b h I think unless you have sincere feelings about quitting and don't have thoughts similar to "I know it's bad but I love playing them so much" then I don't think you'll be able to quit.
