Well my brother has a gaming addiction. Instead of going to university the military or getting a job he chose to souly dedicate his life to games. With all this free time after graduating he decided to go to more and more elaborate gaming events that all cost a lot of money and makes my mom pay for it. Some of these events in a completely different city or state.
He doesn't even clean up after himself. He always dedicated his life to nothing other than video-games but now he doesn't have school where before it was mandatory. He is over the age of 18 already and not even trying to do anything for himself.
Even though he had a lot of expensive colleges offer him full rides and half way scholarships, an offer from the military, and with his grades and backgrounds could easily pick up a job.(My sibling had straight A since they were 6 years old)
Yet he doesn't try and doesn't care to since he thinks his mother will baby him forever. While I been attempting to find work since age 16 and wasn't able to get one till age 19. So yes I could see where this would be a problem for a parent. Maybe you should stop playing so many video-games.
This is also a disorder recently added to the DSM-5. Its called "Internet and gaming addiction". So yeah you need to get back to reality.
Is it normal that my parents don't understand that I'm not alone?
