I don't find video games enjoyable anymore. Why?

Well since my marks were getting affected by video gaming, I gave my PSN account away, which I spent quite some time getting achievements levels etc. Usually that doesn't bother me because I would just make another account and start over.. But since I started liking this girl and I then went asking her out. My urge of playing video games is starting to diminish and the motivation to do it is gone. It feels like I'm looking more forward to the people around me and life itself. Is this puberty or what? I'm 15 years old

    Well Cj if you have a GF in real life your mind is saying stop with the fake stuff and pay attention to her. If your mind is saying that it wants you to stop playing video games and be with your friends, family, & your GF I would listen to it. Stop playing all that stuff and just forget about it. Do what your mind is saying.

    Video game playing is to keep you busy into something. As soon as other options arise you just move on, yeah the truth it's growing up. People lose interest depending on what comes up in their lives. But don't worry a new games comes out you be back playing.

    video games is a phase in which many guys enjoy doing and go through. when you get a girl and your more into people now you will find them taking all your interest. 5 yrs down the road you will begin to think geez why was i playing all those games and doing all those crazy things on psn. ofcourse i play xbox and ps3 but only when i do have time. you will see guys acting like a big macho walking into gamestop but think of what they do on their spare time. lol you may have your answer. when you do nto grow anymoe interest in video games surely you will be trying to shoot for things that might last you in long terms.

    Things we do quite often begin to get old. Especially if something you like gets replaced by something you like even more. Such as that girl you mentioned. Maybe after a while of being with her, you will get the urges to play games again. Or if things don't work out(which hopefully doesn't happen), you might even go back to games again. Happens to almost everyone.

    Sounds like you're getting a life. You normally play video games because they're fun, and there is nothing else to do. Now that you like this girl, you may want to try to impress her (playing video games is normally not a way of doing this), or you're finding better things to do.

    I don't think its puberty... Its cause your getting sick of playing to much video games and want to try something new... and plus enjoy life, don't spent your whole life just playing video games.
