Gloom and how it gets that way.

Video games appear to becoming more and more addictive. D2 was way too addictive for me, and I played A LOT during my first two years of college. I was lucky enough to have already met a good core group of friends during classes, and they always got me out to go drinking, partying, and chick lurking. Honestly, if it wasn't for them, I would've probably gone through the same thing you're going through now. I was constantly cutting classes, pushing off projects, papers, studying, etc. just so I could play Diablo constantly.

I mean, there were weekends when most of my friends would go home for the weekend, and I didn't go out and just played Diablo all weekend. When they came back, I would lie to them and tell them all kinds of fabricated stories about parties, blacking out, etc. just so they didn't think I was such a complete fag. I would then tell myself that I'm not going to do that again, because I was only kidding myself and ruining my college experience, but low and behold, when the next opportunity arose, I would do the exact same thing.

I did that for my entire first year of college, and during my second year, I forced myself to stop. It wasn't easy, I'm telling you, but it was neccessary. I called up people, joined intermural sports, worked out at the gym, ran a lot, etc. just go get myself out of my dorm room and away from Diablo. And it definitely worked, believe me.

Being addicted is never good, no matter what it's too, except for sex. You seriously need to get away from it, and stop yourself from getting too much of a superiority complex. You need to force yourself to do extraciricular activites. You made the first good step, now finish it off!
