I grew up as a heavy gamer, and it became my identity.

I absolutely got addicted to games and I still struggle with functioning in daily life without trying to go back and play 1-2 hours of games each night for the dopamine hit.

More importantly, I missed out on actual real life experiences throughout my childhood all the way till I was 28.

I let me kids play games now, but as long as it doesn't overtake more useful activities (reading, going out, playground, socializing with friends, swimming, biking)
