If your friend plays video games for at least 6 hours each day and becomes upset when interrupted, such as when it's time to eat dinner with family, this behavior could indicate several things:
-
Gaming Addiction: He may be exhibiting signs of gaming addiction or problematic gaming behavior. This can manifest as an excessive preoccupation with gaming, continuing to play despite negative consequences (like missing family time), and an inability to control gaming habits.
-
Isolation: His attachment to gaming over social or family interactions may suggest a preference for virtual experiences over real-life relationships, leading to feelings of isolation or a lack of social skills.
-
Avoidance: He might be using gaming as a way to escape from real-life responsibilities or stresses. Avoiding interactions, even with family, can indicate deeper emotional or psychological issues.
-
Difficulty in Time Management: He may struggle with managing his time effectively, prioritizing gaming over other important aspects of life, including family and food.
If your friend’s behavior is causing issues or distress, it might be useful for him to reflect on his gaming habits and consider talking to someone who can help, such as a trusted adult or a mental health professional.
