Question by Rudolf: Why are video games such a problem?
I always hear about video game addiction. I am wondering what you guys think cause it. I for one am a gamer. I love video games. For me, I would probably say my “addiction” is that I can do so much in games. I can be a world leader (in Paradox Interactive games) or a hero (Skyrim). I could be them in real life, but that would require a LOT of work. I wish I had the self-discipline to just study 24/7 and enjoy it. Then I could become what ever I want. Sadly, games allow me to be what ever I want, and I do not have to study and work like crazy. That is what I think. What about you guys?
People, do not make this about me. I still get good grades (straight A’s). I still study, just not as much as I should. I want to know general addiction, and what you think the cause is.    Read more...

Question by Sunny: How to help my boyfriend with his lying addiction?
My boyfriend has a serious lying addiction, he lies to everyone about everything and he knows i know what he lying about, so he doesn’t think he is lying because i am smart enough to realize the truth.But
honestly i am very sick of it, and just want him to learn to deal with being a reliable, honest person with all the bad side effects and all, by telling people something they might not even like to hear.
I am thinking about breaking up possibly some time in the future (few months time), if he doesn’t fix his mental illness, i am considering getting a relationship counselor to help us so he can at least feel comfortable telling me the truth, or is a therapist better? Any suggestions how to help him?
