But strange that it is the guys and not the gals who are addicted to gaming.

There are girls who are addicted to gaming.

Just that they are much lesser as compared to guys.

That is what I means. Even though girls and guys are introduced to the computers at the same age, guys just naturally prefer computers over girls. More guys than girls, in term of ratios.

Where can I find a good counciller?

To Day Dreamer:
No luck buddy, I ORD from army early this year already.

To OHSheet:
For your info im playing Left 4 Dead and Counterstrike, even after playing so many times until sianz, i still find myself subconsciously choosing to play them or to surf the internet OVER study. Sad It’s as difficult as telling a smoker who has been smoking for 10 years to stop immediately.

uhh. what games are they? If they're like WOW or DOTA, then yes, i can understand its adictive.

I actually took up eating, -which btw is quite unhealthy, but very comforting. I found that it helped me relieve the gaming addiction back then.

But now, its wearing off, im addicted to reading up forums and news XD ahahahaha! and thats a diff thing...

All the best TS!

Thanks. Btw I did try to pick up new hobby, like sailing with SAF yacht club, knowing more girls, clubbing and gyming for the past 2 years. However it seems that i have lose interest in these and now turning back to video gaming. I dun think picking up new hobby will help.

IMH has community support services for this. But if you dun like the Stigma of going to IMH then Touch Community Services has a cyber wellness group that focuses on such addictions.

hi TS,

you can use this approach.

A. listening to music- takes your mind off stuff. -just note: dont listen music from your comp, cuz that way it'll be very tempting

B. uhh.. abit personal, but, TS do you have a close sibling/ gf or smthing? spending more time socialising will also help you cope with gaming addiction

C. you can always take up eating as a hobby ... hahaa :D

Have you tried talking these issues through with you parents/ someone you feel close to? It definitely helps :D

All the best to you!

Suffocate SG

masterbate and watch porn will help you to forget about computer games

candiz SG

Forbiddensinner SG

I also play Left 4 dead. It's a fun game. I got addicted esp when i purchase a package in the lan shop. Not playing now liao.

Solution to you. Go find a part-time job or seek help from counsellor or aim for a degree.
