[Artemisius]

I have a lot of obligations and I need to stop playing video games also in free time I just sit and play video games so i get lazy. When i try to play sports i suck and everybody tease me. I really need something else to do. I think that i need to stop playing video games. It's like some voice is telling me :,,you are wasting time and you can do something else,,. I really want to quit video games but i can't.
I will be glad if you help me!

Whatever else you'll find, you'll suck at it. And then you ignore the teasing, keep at it, and get better. So if you like sports, go do that. If not try different things until you find something you enjoy.

Best thing I found was to do something with others, friends, family etc, then you'll have others who will help you tear yourself from the computer!

You should consider seeking medical help from a psychiatrist who has well enough training with this - that is if you find it really hard and it distracts you from other important things in life.

That accumulated time doesn't seem as bad as you'd think. That is about 2 hours per day which is considerably normal.

I have to say, i play video games everyday and still have other things to do - and i well exceed 2 hours per day.

What is important is that if you see yourself constantly using video-games as an escape, or you keep digressing from your other tasks all the time - then that's alarming.

Set up a routine; get work done; then play games; also limit yourself to a time-frame that works well with you.

And no, you do not have to stop playing forever, all that is required is simple moderation.
