I find myself addicted to Minecraft. I host a minecraft server that me and my friends play on, but when I decide to take a break I can't help myself. I immediately feel anxious that I'm either going to miss something important, or they might go offline as soon as I get online because I enjoy playing video games with others. And I sometimes feel guilty that I never come on.
I need help with this quick before it gets any worse! I've been all over google trying to find soulutions but I just can't find the thing to get me to stop.
Much Help is appreciated!
I can't stop myself from playing on the computer?
Delete the Minecraft application from your computer.
Join clubs and be social, that's the best way to keep your minds off things
Dude calm down, I can assure you every other person on that game has a life of their own to deal with. Put your life first, not the game. I used to play Minecraft and I had trouble taking breaks but you needa force yourself to have them for your own good. Don't worry about missing out on stuff, it's just a game. It's supposed to be for fun, not to be the source of anxiety. Just tell your friends your gonna go have a break and you'll be back soon/later or whatever. Don't let this be a problem for you.
Get a job, or start studying. Dedicate yourself to studying, and focus on this and only this.
Try get your friends to stop playing minecraft as well. If you all stop playing minecraft, then none of you will feel any desire to play on your own. It's always harder when Your friends are playing it, but just convince yourself that your addiction is stupid.
Minecraft is stupid. Don't let it take over you, like it has to many people all over the world. Stop it before it gets incurable. Don't even play an hour a week, just stop minecraft altogether. Completely. It will work.
I personally find myself addicted to games at times. Try making a schedule for yourself of the things that you need to do in the day (homework, sports…) then fit in an hour or so of minecraft to look forward to something at the end of the day.
If you find yourself on minecraft in all of your spare time, try finding something else you enjoy like a certain sport or getting some fresh air with your friends.
Coordinate with your friends on when you will all play together so you don't miss out on their fun.
You don't need to feel guilty about not playing every spare moment you get.
Hope this helps!
