Generally speaking, like all addictions, a lot of the risk involved in becoming a gaming addict lies in the familiarity and the endorsement within the family, for example, if you live in a household where there's few things that make you feel good about yourself. It is very easy to envision yourself finding a toy or mechanical system to lean on, to comfort yourself when you are feeling bad about yourself, lonely or feel you don't have anyone to talk to. Young children particularly become bored easily and we can teach them to turn on the television and instantly alleviate their boredom. A big part of gaming addiction is related to the social climate more than anything else and again the availability of gaming activities. Honestly, if you're good at mechanical things and you have a fascination with mechanical things on the internet, a gaming addict may think why not lean into that, as opposed to leaning into some other sort of activity where you have to go outside to get involved in it when the internet is right inside your house.

  • A weak-willed jackass or someone with an addictive personality.

  • Proves just because you're a doctor, it doesn't mean you're a smart person.

  • this guys is a fucking dumbass he should be castrated. i cant stand people like him. so ignorant to wat something actually is.

  • NOT TRUE AT ALL

  • wow, didn't know building mechanical machines caused a person to have few friends, low self-esteem, and social problems.

    I can say gaming can do that, but not mechanical knowledge
