How do you know when your hobby is turning into an addiction?

See below: When it is taking over your life, you dissociate from friends and family, your job is affected, you don't take care of your health, and you start to feel guilty or that is negatively affecting your life and relationships.

Gray areas: I agree with dr. Bansal's thoughts on this. There is a lot of gray area in this question. At your age, you are finding out who you are and what you are passionate about. In some cases it could be a very heathy thing to follow your passion and explore different aspects of your hobby. If your hobby is video games, you might be able to get into video game development. Best wishes.
