Well sure, the stress is real. I like to play poker online. I play for real money and it can be very stressful. It can be very rewarding as well though when you have a good night. I think its important not to get too wrapped up in it though. Games are supposed to be fun, but all too often we get overtaken by them and have to WIN and get stressed. I guess try to find a game that you can relax and enjoy playing would be the best bet.

Forget games, sitting at the net for too long, just gets me nauseated. Take a break every now and then. Frankly, it can affect you mentally too. So take care. Go for a walk, refresh yourself, have something to drink, outside, not in front the the computer. You'll feel better.

i like to play online games, but it does'nt give me stress. its makes me relax and happy... however, the amount of stress others gets in playing online games depends on the games they are playing, like its too hard, and time consuming games, this can be stressfull to others..if you lose the games, you will also get stressed or the other way around.. it depends on what situation you are in..

To me playing online games does not make me stressed out but it makes me enjoy the game and without me knowing it I would be addicted to it. Lol. When I started to play a new game on the internet, I would play for about 2 hours because it was very interesting when you was first introduced to a new game. After that I take only one hour or half an hour to play online games. After I am bored with the game, I would tend to find new games on the internet. Lol. So it would be ongoing on and on. However the games always makes me alert and happy but not stressed. I think you should be relaxed a little when you play online games. Maybe it is because you consider the game to be a real life situation and you concentrated too hard so that you won't make any mistakes on the game. Maybe you are afraid your score would be low and you be embarrassed by other friends who scored higher than you. Don't worry, and be happy. Online games are for you to enjoy and not for you to get stressed. Live a happy life, and you'll discover that online games have many more to offer.

Stress is nothing but brain getting tired. Till we enjoy doing something we will not get tired. When i play online games i enjoy playing the games. So i never get bored or got tired of that. Hence i am not getting stress when ever i am playing online games.
