    I used to be a level 7 just last year, I can say I am now in the middleground between level 2 and 3. I used to spend about 14+ hours a day playing games, cause I am in online college, and the only reason I used to be like this was due to online "friends". When i cut all ties with them in December, that was the best decision for me ever. I stopped playing games all day, started doing my own hobbies more, studying more, got a job in my career, went from 205 lbs to 147 lbs, am not depressed or suicidal anymore. While sad to say all my ex friends are still stuck at level 6 and 7 and all are unhappy. Don't let gaming take over, and delete discord is what I have learned, almost everyone on there is a time waster, and will just make you fall right back into gaming. Go make some irl friends and go out with them and do something.

      Very similar to what i would do. I would take a sledge hammer and beat the living shit out of a useless paint bucket (My dad was a finish guy in a cabinet shop.), in the winter i would go down to the creek (It was on our yard) and spend HOURS smashing ice. I still dk it to this day, just for different reasons.

    I'm 30 years old. I'm able to hold down my WFH job, pay all my bills on time, and practice self care.
    But video games has been a part of my life since I was in diapers. I couldn't imagine life without gaming. So yes, I do play about 4-5 hours a day. But not before all responsibilities are taken care of first. And that's the takeaway here. As long as you're not hurting yourself or anyone else, do what makes you happy. I do.

    When I was in middle school, I had a friend who was level 6. He would spend every waking hour playing video games. Even when we were on FaceTime, he would ignore me in favor of whatever game he was playing.
    Eventually, I cut contact with him because he ghosted me in favor of playing video games. (He never answered my texts, and whenever I tried to call him, he’d tell me he was busy playing TF2 and would talk to me later, then hang up.)
    I hope he straightened out his life because he was on his way to level 7. He even had a shirt that said, “I must go. Video games need me!” When I could actually talk to him (usually when we played a multiplayer co-op game), he was a kind, creative, and funny kid. I hope he didn’t completely succumb to his addiction.

Now that Covid has ended, I'm in Level 4 right now. I now have 3-4 hours of screen time, still working on lowering that. I think a lot of us got our addictions from Covid!

    I’m quite obsessed with my game, but half of it was to have fun in the game. The other half was to have fun with my friends. Even if it was a fighting game, sometimes me and my friends would just sit back and talk about stuff. I will not lie, I have gotten mad sometimes/rage quitted, but I don’t really do that much anymore.
    And funnily enough, I was the talk of the friend group because I was bad. I sucked ass at Fortnite, yet it didn’t make me mad. I was having a lot of fun with my friends, laughing and insulting each other at the same time.

    When I was in middle school, I was a level 5, I was very competitive with video games and it was the only thing I'd look forward to. Fortunately, my parents recognized how bad it was and unplugged my console. Throughout high school, I was at level 0 and would only play at my friend's house, and I started becoming an outdoors person. Now that I'm in college and living away from my parents, I'm at level 2, and my parents are fine with it because they know I'm not addicted and enjoy other activities.

    I am happy to say I have no addiction to video games. :) I played games a fair bit as a kid, and I sunk a lot of hours into Minecraft around ages 11-13, but I was never too bad. Since then, I really just don't care and I'm a game dev myself. I occasionally play some games, but I quickly grow tired of it. Usually it is TF2, Minecraft, or Clone Hero. Sometimes one of my many PS2 games from my childhood. I have a pretty good PC, but it's been the same since 2017, and I have no desire to upgrade it. CPU's a bit slow, but I am not gonna spend like $600 to replace CPU, mobo, and RAM. Even then, the reason I'd want that is to render videos faster. The best games coming out nowadays can be played on 10 year old PCs no problem, if not Intel HD graphics. I bought Will You Snail? on Steam when it came out and that was great. You can run that on any PC that you'd reasonably be using nowadays. Probably even a Core2Duo laptop.

I used to rage a lot at games, but now I realized it was pointless and whenever I lose to another player I just accept that they’re better and I try to improve myself. If I lose to an AI because they have some goofy code that guarantees them a win though.. that’s when I start to get mad.

      No one should really blame video games for their declining mental health. The only one who is to blame for getting addicted in the first place is you and you alone. Gaming, just like with every other form of media, is created for entertainment. Its main purpose is to keep you entertained when you're not busy with something. Don't let video gaming ruin your health. The best way to avoid getting addicted is to have self-control and being responsible. That is the best way to handle ANY form of addiction. As anything remotely fun to us humans can lead to an addiction. It's been that way since the dawn of man. Having self-control from getting any urges and becoming more responsible to your duties as a human being can prevent you from being an addicted junkie of any kind.

      I'm sorry man. But try doing something different. Like just walking or maybe drawing? Even tracing if you want to. Or get out to town.

      the main reason of level 7 is no interest in other things and not busy at all with homework, or your family is just out so you play so much

    Bro all these people saying they played for like 14-15+ hours is crazy, I only play for like 5-6 hrs ON WEEKENDS when I stay up late and still can’t even imagine how you get that much. Like genuinely how do you even have that much time, on weekdays I can only play for like 1.5 hrs. I thought I played a lot 😂

    When I was 12 my parents started limiting my game time and I'm glad they did because I did not want to become one of those discord mods. I was gaming like 6 to 8 hours a day before my parents cut down on my gaming time.

    Coming from school, I went to the computer, stayed there for 4 hours, did the homework at last hour, watched tiktok and UA-cam shorts, I was addicted to games. It was the worst time of my life ever. I always thought I had my gaming hours controlled, but I didn't. Thanks to a miracle, the algorithm showed me videos about how bad gaming is for you, and watching tiktok. So this year, I stopped completely. I can tell you, it works really well not playing video games anymore. The best part of it being more focused and not getting bored so easily.

    I always thought I’d be pretty high up in the video game list as I spend quite a lot of time on video games (maybe 15 hours a week), but DAMN the fact that only at Level 4 the Toxicity begins is insane.
    I’m probably at level 2.5 here. Yeah it’s great to try to get better at the game but I don’t spend too much time thinking about it or planning about it. God forbid RAGING about simple mistakes
