I spend most of my time online at my pc. I wake up, scroll on my phone a bit before finally waking up. I do my hygiene thing and run straight to my pc. And easily spend the whole time surfing the web/ ect... If I have work, I go to work come home around 7pm and stay up close to 3 am. (Very little sleep)Β
I play a lot of online multiplayer games w/ friends. And this helps a lot with my social anxiety bc I donβt do well in public and I always get super nervous hanging out with even people I enjoy being around. I try to get over those feelings but I always end up bricking myself up in my bedroom. So my social life is not βnormβ compared to others.. but Iβm happy and content. Yeah my life at the moment feels a bit like itβs on repeat, everyday I feel like a βsimβ doing the same things over and over and the same routine. Sometimes it gets very old and whirls me into a depressive state. I do end up getting over it eventually. Iβm typically a happy person but as normal emotions work, Β I can get quite sad. Nonetheless I do love my video games and online friends. Theyβve been here for me through a lot and my online friends probably know more about me than anyone else I know in person.Β
At this point Iβm just rambling my thoughts onto here. Wondering if anyone will even see this.Β

This brings up an interesting question. Is video game and internet addiction still considered a thing? TV addiction was once considered a thing you know, and I remember when they has news reports about addiction to video games as well as internet addiction. That being said you don't here about TV addiction too much anymore. Video games have become as popular as TV and internet is so engraved in our culture now that almost everyone is online even old folks have a Facebook or Twitter these days and internet weather on a pc, laptop, or mobile phone has nearly became a required utility like electricity anymore. So I'm going to ask again is internet addiction still a thing? And if not is Video game addiction still a thing? It really makes you think. I would like to run an experiment sometime and go for 6 months off the internet grid just to see if it can still be done. It probably can but not easily because everyone expects you to have internet access these days.
