Gaming addiction?
Is gaming addiction just a less bad version of porn addiction? Sometimes I feel like playing videogames is just another escape from actually engaging with people in person.

Exercise is always a healthy alternative
I think they go hand in hand sometimes. I'll play a game but scroll porn or porn adjacent material hoping to stimulate myself. I'm trying to just control the porn for now. But games need adjustment too. Someone told me they only play fighting games or racing games since the matches are set and you get tired of them after some time. Might try that.
Think of it like a escape/dopamine dump. The dopamine problem may not be as bad as porn addiction, depends on you as a person. But the real issue with gaming is it tricks your brain into a false sense of accomplishment which is a drive killer. I struggle with this as well.
Anything can be a addiction it’s just if it’s a healthy one or a destructive one
