I was addicted to games for the longest time & I ended up joining a small gaming group so I could play the same games and not worry about finding new groups. It was fine but after years of playing with them, I realized I'm an addict and I don't even really know these people since we've never met, only talked on voice chat. I ended up cutting all contact and quitting games but I now suffer from anxiety that they will try to track me down or the idea of them never forgetting me troubles me greatly. I should also point out it has been over 3 years now since it's happened. Does anyone else have any common expereince in terms of cutting ties with online gamers who've you played with for years. I even had people on my friends list I knew for up to 6-7 years. I know online relationships are just superficial and a conveinance but I have bad anxiety every year because of it.
6 months for me. I still talk with the ones that don't play anymore, but not the ones that do, and it's very difficult.
Free and clear :)
