Whether you are in school still or working a full time job, do you feel as if the amount of hours you game per day effects how social you are in your every day life? And also does it effect your social skills?

Nope cause I only play games when I have nothing else to do, or if my friends have decided to play online for one reason or another. As for my social skills they were terrible when I was young but not so much now.

most of my gaming is done during the week when I get home from work. during that time when no one wants to do anything because they have to get up for work in the morning.

Yeah I'm pretty much in the same boat. Full time job, school full time, a wife and a new child.

Perhaps it's the other way around.  Your social skills and how social you are may influence your decision to isolate yourself and play games rather than getting out into the world more often.  If you're genuinely worried about it, it's time to step away from the console and spend more time socializing with actual people.

Even with college I find time to balance both. It works out fine for me I guess so they don't really hinder each other

I'm not a very social person, but when I choose to be social I have no problem doing so. Video games have no effect on my social life one way or another.

The only game I play is Counter Strike Source these days. I watch new game playthroughs & commentaries on YouTube. I don't really socialise much 'cos I just go to work and then sleep a lot when I get home.

Gaming doesn't affect my social life at all. Very few people are actually worth socializing with nowadays anyway imo. I usually game to eascape reality and zone out when I get home from work or take a break from working on music. I don't game as much as I would like too though. Sometimes I'll have just as fun watching walkthroughs or hilarious commentary / troll vids.
