Video game addiction- socializing problem?
I started playing video games at 12 and I was reading a article about it and I now realize that I had been addicted to them. I have now broken that addiction through have a job and playing high school basket ball. Now I am 21 and I have problems socializing with women. I believe that my socializing ability with women is bad. Can someone please help!
First of all, congratulate yourself. Video games are highly addictive and more and more people are becoming addicted.
You have a job and are playing on a team (little concerned that youare playing on a High School team and you are 21).
So, the next step is to expand your base of friends. Can you join a Basketball League of guys your own age? Are there any co-oed leagues?
You need to meet women in a social setting where you can become friends. Don’t even think about romantic relationships – you are just 21 and have all the time in the world. You want the interactions with women to be positive, so keep the pressure off yourself. Focus on making male and female friends with the same interests. Are there groups at work? Can you go to lunch with them? Do they meet up after work? Stick to situations where there are lots of people where you can observe and then take small steps.
You will eventually meet someone special, and if you follow the above steps, you will have the confidence to deal with that special lady.
