Video Games Are Ruining Your Life | Ep. 146
I recently tweeted about video games and the responses I got were intense.
So in my tweet, I mentioned porn, junk food, and video games, and I said that there's no such thing as cheap dopamine…you don't realize the true cost you're paying.
And while most people can agree the other two aren't great, there are a lot of folks out there who are convinced that video games are harmless.
But let me tell you, I've played my fair share of video games in my life. I grew up with the Internet and I was playing video games before they were cool. I'm talking original StarCraft and Diablo.
But here's the thing…for me, video games became an addiction.
I would spend 15 hours a day playing and it was ruining my life. So I had to cut video games out of my life completely to get away from that addiction.
Now, I know not everyone has the same experience as me, and that's totally fine.
Some people can play video games for 30 minutes a day and be totally productive in other areas of their lives.
But even if you're only playing a little bit, there are hidden costs that you're paying for that cheap dopamine hit.
Even if you think you're being totally productive and functional in other areas of your life, these costs are still impacting you more than you realize.
And remember, I'm not saying you should never play video games again. I just want to start a conversation about the true costs of our recreational activities.
