ACTS 3. my beloveds.
im here to talk about yet another strong addiction.
this is called.
ONLINE GAMING.
mind you, it affects all young and old.!
why are people addicted to online gaming.?- they seek emotional needs in online games
-its their only way of escape.!
but there are consequences to pay.!-commit suicide due to rejection both in real life and in the virtual wolrd
-negligence of love ones.!
online gaming is just like any form of addiction.
ppl who are addicted will NEVER admit they are.!
symptoms when someone is addicted1.inability to stop
2.neglect family, friends and love ones
3.starts lying to family, employers about online activities
4.problems start to occur in either sch or jobs
5.carpel tunnel syndrome[constantly find excuses to play the com]
6.dry eyes
7.failure to attend to personal hygeine [dont bathe, etc]
8.changes in slp pattern [from 8 hours becoming 4 hours gradually to 2]
9.changes in personality [from joyful to depress, easily frustrated]
10. crave for more and more time for computer
11.skip appointments, classes or work
12.deny addiction yet feel the need to play.!
13.stronger emotions online than in real life
14.feel intense joy and relaxation in stealing, killing, looting etc.
online gaming is as dangerous as any other addictions as it provides a false sense of security in power, pride, greed and relationship.
you need to be aware and keep youself away.
please constantly reming yourself to walk with the spirit.!
