I dont play video games, but really would like to play one multiplayer game. Almost all day i think only on this game, even if i dont want to play it. Am i addicted? Please, what to do so i will NOT think on this game?
thinking only on video game...
Go practice some physical activities, yoga, gym, martial arts. When you get the energy buzz from it shift your mind away from unwanted thoughts and focus on your being and on achieving the best version of yourself.
Just find something else to think about instead. Find something interesting. You think about that because it is the most interesting thing at that time. I like to listen to people talking on youtube. Either news, or comedy, or interesting people being interviewed. You could find something to listen to that is also teaching you something, and it would be a good thing.
This is the targeted message.
Obsessions, addiction, etc. should never be dealt with "negatively".
As in, you should never see it as "I should remove this bad habit". For most people, that bad habit is all you have. What are you gonna do, stare at walls all day?
The way to fix it is positively.
Add things to your life, instead of removing. Pick up a workout routine. Get some meditation in. Read something useful. Do something with your friends, or make friends if you don't have any. Make some money on the side. etc. etc.
As you gain new things to do and new interests, you'll naturally spend less and less time and mental energy on the bad habit.
Yes, this even works with drugs, I've seen therapists advise this. Instead of removing your only dopamine source, add new ones.

In addition to everyone's answers, I'd suggest trying the Freeing the Soul (Ansuz) working. Customize the affirmations e.g. "I am totally and completely free from video game addiction and escapism" and you should be ready to go. The advice given here can be a bit steep for some people as there is an underlying reason for video game addiction; escapism. This tendency for escapism itself also needs to be fixed, I'd also suggest another separate working for this and maybe a sun square the next opportunity you find on our calendar. It's possible that the "go outside" or "go to the gym" advice won't be as helpful if you feel this way so I believe the working itself and something like the sun square should be actionable advice. Please take care and know that the Gods are always here to help you. 🙏 💙

What you describe sounds more like strong curiosity or fixation, not addiction.
Addiction usually means:
You already play a lot
You cannot stop even when it harms your life
You ignore work, sleep, or people because of it
So is this the new trend that you make a user account, let it mature for some time, then start posting AI-generated replies? Then, after a while, what else?
