Playing Video Games Lead To Social Disconnection. It is True? (lemmy.world)

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.

no, they're getting a lot of downvotes because it's spam.

they're not interested in legitimate discussion, they only need to promote the spam links at the end of the post.
