Gaming can help you explore your personality, enhance your creativity, and sharpen your problem-solving skills. However, if your virtual reality starts to damage your \u003cu\u003ereal-life interactions and health\u003c\/u\u003e, then you have a problem. That is what this book is designed to address. I wrote “Gaming Addiction” for the purpose of guiding you through the process of \u003cu\u003eevaluating\u003c\/u\u003e your gaming activities to determine what is helping you and what aspects of your game of choice are actually messing up your life. I know, I know, gaming \u003cem\u003eis\u003c\/em\u003e your life! But is it a life that will lead to \u003cu\u003egood things\u003c\/u\u003e, or will it ultimately take you to a place you don’t want to go? There is a healthy balance that can be attained.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGet the best out of both “worlds.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou \u003cem\u003ecan\u003c\/em\u003e get what you want out of life, yes, \u003cu\u003ereal life\u003c\/u\u003e. It is possible to \u003cu\u003econtinue to play\u003c\/u\u003e online and still have a happy family, loving relationships, meaningful work, and delightful social experiences. The challenge is not letting the draw of the game \u003cu\u003eoverpower\u003c\/u\u003e what you \u003cem\u003eknow\u003c\/em\u003e you need to do and who you want to be. It’s not healthy to spend \u003cu\u003eall\u003c\/u\u003e your time “checked out” from real life; some of the time it's okay to escape, but remember: while you’re escaping from your life, there’s \u003cu\u003enobody else\u003c\/u\u003e out there who will \u003cu\u003elive it for you\u003c\/u\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGaming as Avoidance\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI get it. Sometimes life is just too harsh. We sometimes just need to get away. Yet, if you find yourself “escaping” to a virtual world to the point that you use your avatar more often than your real name, you’re in trouble. For those of us who don’t feel 100% confident around other people 100% of the time, it’s \u003cu\u003eeasier\u003c\/u\u003e to just camp out in an alternate universe. However, it’s equally important to \u003cu\u003eresist\u003c\/u\u003e the temptation to spend \u003cem\u003eall\u003c\/em\u003e of your time there. While gaming can help improve social interaction (at least virtually), you need real world social interactions to truly grow and develop as a person. You also need real life social interaction to help avoid getting depressed.
