Gaming Addiction
I have a roommate who I've known for about 4 years already. We've been 'friends' for the same time too but I think he's just taking advantage of us. I have been pulling myself away from him cuz he seems like a very bad introvert. He plays this game called FFXI for 4 years on the dot and gotten every single expansion that has come out. On the timer in game its been clocked as more than a year. That means hes been logged on for a year in that game. It's driving me crazy. He has no real life friends and when people ask him to go to partys or events he just shruggs it off. I tell him to go meet new people and stuff but he says he doesn't need friends who do drugs and drink alcohol which seems hypocratic since his online friends do it too. All he does in the last 4 years which I have witnessed is talk on a microphone with his group online. It's driving me crazy and it gets me very angry cuz hes wasting every second. Please note I have tried all the MMORPGs out there: Star Wars Galaxy, World of Warcraft and his stupid Final Fantasy 11 all to which I think is a complete waste of time and money. I'm so happy I'll be graduating so I don't get to see or hear from him anymore. I've tried throwing a birthday get2gether for him but he just goes back to his room. Dunno what to do anymore, anybody got a good book I could actually buy him so he'd get off being a potato?
He does not admit that this is a problem.
