What can you do when you're tired of playing games and don't know what to do? By Anonymous | Published on December 18, 2024

In recent days, I have been playing Honor of Kings. I play ten games a day, back and forth, up and down. I know it's a waste of time, but I just don't want to do anything else. I'm half-mad, but I keep playing. I'm asking for help. What can I do to quit?

Hello, question asker.

It seems that the situation you described, where you can't stop playing Honor of Kings, is something that many people who play the game experience, to varying degrees.

This could be a tendency towards online game addiction, and there could be a number of reasons for it.

Please find my brief analysis and suggestions below:

[Analyzed from multiple perspectives]

It is worth noting that external factors such as family pressure and social pressure can also play a role in the development of online game addiction.

For instance, if there is a great deal of pressure to learn and academic results are not as strong as one would hope, or if there is a lot of criticism from teachers or parents, or if classmates are all playing King of Glory, it is understandable that one might feel the desire to play it too.

It may also be the case that internal factors such as a lack of social connections, feelings of loneliness, low self-esteem and confidence play a role.

It is not uncommon for individuals who experience frustration to turn to online games as a means of coping and, in some cases, this can potentially lead to addiction.

[Reasons related to the game itself]

It seems that the convenience, virtual nature, and confidentiality of the internet may cater to the psychological needs of the public.

The immediate feedback after vanquishing an opponent and seizing resources within the game can significantly boost one's motivation and interest in continuing play.

Many people find it difficult to resist the sense of personal achievement and belonging that comes with winning a game.

It would be remiss of me not to point out that there are some potential drawbacks to online games.

As the questioner notes, there is a tendency to become addicted to the Internet, which can exacerbate negative emotions.

It is possible that anxiety may be exacerbated due to the long hours and lack of sleep.

It is also worth noting that long periods of immersion in the virtual world can potentially lead to a sense of disconnection from real life, which may in turn result in feelings of self-isolation, a reluctance to socialize, and a hesitancy to integrate fully into society.

[It would be beneficial to be more self-aware.]

As the questioner observed, there are times when one may feel that engaging in online gaming is meaningless, yet one persists in doing so. Similarly, there are instances when one is angry to the point of exhaustion, yet one continues to play.

It would be beneficial to consider the positive aspects of online games, such as the feeling of being engaged and the opportunity for self-expression. At the same time, it is important to acknowledge the potential challenges, including feelings of meaninglessness and frustration.

It is only when we truly understand the situation that we can take meaningful and positive action to effect change.

[Suggest some coping strategies]

It may be helpful to consider some self-adjustment techniques, as well as forced scheduling of online game time and diversion and replacement methods to help navigate confusion.

As a potential solution, you might consider cultivating a wide range of interests and hobbies to help divert your attention and reduce your dependence on online games.

It might also be helpful to consider cognitive therapy, or even professional psychological counseling support.

I hope this is of some help to you.

Hello, I'm Du Xi.

From your description, it's clear you want to change your situation. You just need to build your confidence to make it happen.

Let's analyze your current situation first!

You can play games every day, so your life is going well. You have the means to live comfortably, so you don't need to earn a living.

You know it's a waste of time, but you just don't want to do anything else.

You need to find a goal or something to strive for. You're just like a ship sailing on the sea without a destination. You need direction and motivation to move forward. Otherwise, you'll just drift slowly on the sea, and it won't matter where you end up.

Your current life is the same. You have no goals to aim for and no motivation to work hard, so you have no drive to do it.

You need to ask yourself: what can you do to quit?

From your description, it's clear you don't have an addiction to the game. You don't suffer if you don't play, so you can't talk about quitting.

You need to find something more meaningful to you, something that gives you a sense of worth. Once you have a goal, you won't need to kill time with games.

Find something that challenges you and that you will feel a sense of accomplishment and pride in when you have accomplished it. If you really can't find anything, start with small things, such as learning something, doing something you've always wanted to do but never got around to, or earning money to buy something and finding ways to earn enough money to buy it within a certain number of days.

Set a goal and make your life more interesting. You've got this!

I understand how you feel, it's tough when a game has such a hold on you. Maybe setting small goals outside of gaming can help gradually shift your focus.

Sophia Jackson We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another.

It sounds like Honor of Kings has really taken over your routine. Have you tried replacing gaming with a new hobby or activity that you've always wanted to explore?

Sometimes we need a break from screens altogether. How about stepping out for some fresh air and exercise whenever you feel the urge to play another round?

It seems like you're aware of the time spent on the game. Perhaps establishing a strict schedule could help limit your gameplay and open up time for other activities.

I know it's hard to stop when you're in the middle of an intense streak. Finding someone to support you, maybe a friend or family member, can be a great way to keep yourself accountable.
