As someone who neglected their late 20s and early 30s in crpg, I regret nothing. Better than neglecting my late teens early 20s playing counter-strike (and other free half life mods). My only regret is fake internet heroes who stopped playing the best game ever. Getting stoned and playing crpg all night long was some of my fondest gaming memories. Fighting 50v50 was truly epic.
I always liked this quote since I read it: “A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies, said Jojen. The man who never reads lives only one.” ― George R.R. Martin, A Dance with Dragons
I consider gaming to be similar though, it's more interactive than reading and much more than watching TV. You're creating your own stories and interacting with other people (albeit remotely). I did have a social life (until I had kids), but it was definitively neglected due to gaming. I wouldn't recommend being a complete recluse as hanging out with a friend or friends is good times too though. Grab a pint and do something you enjoy (even if that's just playing video games with a friend like Golden Tee/Big Buck Hunter, going to an adult arcade, etc).
