I'm a 16-year-old and I was first invited to play Minecraft about five years ago. But I never began playing it because I wasn't that interested at the time. In high school I've never really noticed my friends discussing it, but whenever I go to the public library there's all these kids playing it. Is it worth playing? Does it relieve you of stress? Does it make you more social? Or will it just be another useless addiction I should stay well away from?
Added (1). If not are there any other games that would relieve me off stress or make me more social? I'm asking because I'm a very lonely person with an anxiety disorder.
