I felt that playing video games excessively can lead to social disconnection and a lack of social interaction, which can have long-term consequences. Addicted gamers may neglect personal relationships, leading to a lack of social skills and difficulty in developing and maintaining healthy relationships. Video game addiction can also lead to social anxiety, loneliness, and poor social skills, which can result in a worse quality of life. However, some researchers suggest that video games can be a way for young adults to cope with feelings of loneliness and anxiety and that the opposite of gaming disorder is not getting rid of video games, but rather increasing social connection and engagement in healthier social activities. SY0-701 CIPP-E CRT-101 CBAP CIPP-US

    Doing anything excessively leads to that.

    What you are describing is addiction in the broadest terms and really is nothing specific to video games.
