yes

Uninstall all games for a while. Worked for me during exams and when I was feeling like I was really getting addicted. Use an extension to block Twitch, TFTV, etc if those distract you too much

You can do that for as long as you need. If you feel like you might have it a bit more under control after a week you can reinstall games. But keep in mind it's a constant struggle to battle an addiction.

Look for something else to keep you busy when you uninstall/block everything otherwise you'll be bored out of your mind. Go for a walk, ride your bike around the block, make a healthy salad, etc

I mean you spent a week without any social interaction so yes, you'll need a bit of time to come back to reality

expected a capnfapn post

Take up a sport, martial arts really helped me stay in touch with reality

stop posting on tftv for a while

you dont get upfrags talking to people irl

maybe try playing video games outside?

this isn't advice, some people might read that and never want to physically interact with anyone ever again

Maybe it's placebo. Or maybe it's something else that's causing your awkwardness, don't try to understand how brains work it's way too difficult. Generally though too much of anything is bad and you shouldn't wait to see the consequences, simply don't do it.

its not the video games, its your lack of social interaction

either go outside and talk to people
or embrace your newfound lifestyle

Do what you like.
