I need help. I have severe video game addiction.
Any game I touch I feel like I have to be the best at it. For example, I've dumped tons of hours on Overwatch trying to rank up; even though it's stupid because you need the entire team of anons each game to help in order to win. And it eats me up inside that I can't win. Same with other competitive games, I feel that I need to be the best at it and there's no end.
Is there any mental hacks to get out of this cycle? I've been neglecting my salad days pursuiting this shit, knowing it's bad for me, but still try to get a good feel out of it

Sell all your video games and counsels.
Get a smaller more manageable hobby.

Not OP but this is a really drastic solution that must be done if everything else don't work.

That's not drastic, that's what you have to do to keep from destroying yourself. I had to uninstall Steam and sell my x-box because I was gaming 16 hours a day. Now I'm a biochemist.

I used to have this problem too. Think about a game you no longer play but used to take seriously. It doesn't matter to you at all anymore. Realize the game you're currently playing will also one day mean nothing to you. After I think about this, I no longer care for my rank. It'll be meaningless in a couple months.

part of learning how to git gud is to master your mental state. if you are getting frustrated, try meditation. you wont be able to improve unless you can objectively assess why you lost without salt.

you need a job or go back to school, you have too much free time on your hands. even neanderthals had duties each day.

Just put that into energy into your job
Business can also be a game
