Young people who were more impulsive, more socially inept and less empathetic to begin with were more likely to become excessive video game players.
I find this interesting as people who livestream videogames are usually more upbeat and are constantly interacting with there viewers, asking their opinion on things whether it be about real life or the game.
They were also more likely to see their grades in school drop and have worse relationships with their parents.
When something consumes your brain, like videogames you often forget the real world around you. I have even noticed within myself when I am focused on something whether it be an assignments or reading a book, I don't realize how long I've been been doing that activity and I forget about all the chores and other responsibilities. I can understand how peoples grade may drop because of gaming.
