Unexpected Benefits of Video Gaming for Skills and Stress Relief
Lately I’ve been thinking about how much time I spend playing video games, and I started feeling a bit guilty about it. I always assumed it was just a way to waste time, but recently I’ve noticed that some of my skills, like multitasking and staying calm under pressure, seem sharper when I’ve been gaming regularly. I’m curious if anyone else has experienced positive effects from gaming that go beyond just entertainment.


.I understand exactly what you’re saying. I also once saw gaming as nothing more than a distraction, but that changed after I came across an article titled "7 Benefits of Gaming You Probably Didn’t Know About". It highlighted how gaming can support skills such as problem solving, faster reactions, stress reduction, and social engagement. Reading it helped me see that, when kept in balance, gaming can be a positive and productive activity rather than something to feel guilty about.☺️👍
