I think a lot of one's happiness comes from having a purpose and feeling useful/productive in some way ("achieving something"). A few things on top of the other good replies: - Uninstall wow/hearth and never look back; the addiction traps you - Get some hobbies that are non-addictive. - With entrepreneurship, you learn more on a month of doing than on a year of reading. - Get a job, or create one for yourself. You can write a book, you can learn web coding, join a startup. What do you want to do? what thing is both something you could do well and make you happy?

Oh, yea, I don't game anymore I should have mentioned. That is done. I am only doing positive things now. I'm not even sure what I want to do or what I can do well. I know I'm good at pattern recognition and reading other people. My math skills aren't super strong, but I think I could change that. My english/writing potential is very high, but I haven't spent enough time writing to be skilled. I don't know if I would like it. I think I need to force myself to experiment for short periods of time like the scientific method and evaluate after, not during. I think part of my problem is that I've never learned to work for the sake of work itself. Everything in my life has always been to prove that I am 'good enough', to prove against feelings of unworthiness that pervade me, to beat the other person. But when it comes to beating myself, I suppose I have never given myself enough respect to attempt that. And it's unfortunate because that's the only worthwhile endeavor.
