Forums - Gaming Discussion - Proof That Video Games Make People Violent, OR That I Was On The Path To Being A Sociopath, OR Both

About 9 months ago, when I still played violent video games, I wanted to beat someone up just to prove I could beat them up. I also kicked a girl (My age group, not someone way younger) and never tried to clear it up (which I will do soon). I also lost my temper like crazy when I kept dying in the game (REEEEEALY bad rage quiting). I'm not sure if I ever said thank you or sorry and meant it, besides maybe one time. I boasted that I deserve to go to Hell (In other words, I joked about how bad I was, proving I knew 100% how bad I was in my conscience). I also had an extremely bad problem with porn... Really really bad. I also didn't care when people died tragic deaths, and I said something along the lines of, "I don't care because it wasn't me. I would only care if it was me.".

It got worse when I got more addicted to games.

So, either violent video games have a negative effect, I may have became a sociopath if nothing changed, or both. Oh, and puberty added fuel to the fire obviously.

I too had a bad problem with porn... And I still do... Fap Fap Fap

But imo, you should see a psychiatrist or counselor just in case if you are still having those issues cause I doubt those are cause of video games, or rather, video games alone that is. If anything, its something else but you dying a lot in video games adds to the frustration

Got 1/6 of the problems. Porn is the 1.

Proof that games are used as an excuse to pass the buck of peoples own problems.

Sounds like a sociopath to me

I already had the problems, but violent video games and puberty added fuel to the fire.

" I also didn't care when people died tragic deaths, and I said something along the lines of, "I don't care because it wasn't me. I would only care if it was me."."

well this applies to most people though, for example, countless people are being needlessly killed in the middle east as we post because of manipulations by western countries and most people don't really care so you aren't unique in that regard

its just that people like to pretend that they care about reducing violence and being moral so that they can be socially accepted... if the situation isn't one where they can obtain some degree of social acceptance then the concern quickly evaporates

Wait what? Sorry, this thread is so random that I thought this was the best place to say it.
