My brother is a self-centered, video game addict...

I was rushed to the hospital today because I had a severe migraine, vertigo, loss of balance, nausea, and vomiting...the result is it's related to diabetes which is already a norm in my life.

I had to go through a series of tests to make sure it wasn't a stroke and I stayed in the hospital longer than expected. My narc mom sent me a series of texts saying I should just listen to them because they know what's right for me, and I should feel sorry for them...like this isn't even about them, but she still managed to make it about them. She always play the victim and make you feel guilty like usual, but that's not what upset me.

My older brother took me to the hospital because he had no choice. After I got home, he was a bit upset and blamed me that he didn't get any sleep because he was waiting for my text to pick me up. He was also upset for not being able to play with his gaming buddies (he always plays with them everyday in his life) because I texted him that I needed to go to the hospital. Even my cousin on audio chat was worried about me, while he didn't ask me how I was feeling or what happened in the hospital after he picked me up. If I was capable of not falling down, and not vomiting, I would have gone by myself and would never ask him any favor...he's a narcissistic, selfish bastard.

Since we were kids, he was always like this...never wanting any responsibility for anything, and that includes taking care of me. He's been playing video games for 35 years (He's 40 now). He only lives in the present, he has no long term plans for his future except finding a wife to marry so she could baby him like my mom did.

Video games have always been his priority, and my parents never stepped up, and continue to put him on a pedestal because they think he's a better person than me. I'm tired that no one in my family genuinely cares about me. Everyone is just the same...

This problem seems to be very common, video games addiction among adult men.

@Miram I completely agree with you. It's kinda like covid.
