I've been playing video games since I was a very young kid, around 2nd grade. I've been fascinated with them ever since. Now, my hobby is the primary source of entertainment for me and always makes me feel great while I'm playing games. Specificially, I play online computer games, mostly World of Warcraft. I don't play by myself though, I talk to fellow guildmates on a voice program called Ventrilo while I'm playing, to make the experience more interactive with online friends. But, I want to know if I am addicted or not, and if I am, if it any serious negative effects. I play roughly 5 hours a day on weekdays, and sometimes up to 10 on weekends. I know it's a lot, but I don't really have a whole lot else to do. I've always been a quite person in school, but I don't mind. I don't feel depressed or anything, I just don't particularly feel the need to have a whole bunch of friends. Anyways, does anyone have any tips to figure out if this is unhealthy for me?
