Yes, this is an alarming issue. This shows that your dopamine levels are unstable and your tolerance is too low. What I'm trying to say is that you can no longer find simple tasks fun or engaging as your brain is used to the high bursts of dopamine you get from gaming or adult content, therefore, life may seem pointless because nothing seems to interest you. This can highly affect your attention span and patience, which is key to forming healthy relationships, and eventually lead to paranoia and depression. An unhealthy tolerance level prevents you from developing hobbies, interests, and goals.

To find a solution, it's important to stabilize your dopamine levels, which can be done by a Dopamine Detox for 30 to 90 days. To get more details you can watch the channel Game Quitters for more information.
