Do you remember when this started- did something happen around the time you first started feeling this way?
When one is addicted to something, it often seems to be, as you have pointed out, to fill a void. You say these are the only things that make you happy when you're down.
Also, I see that you "start thinking" when you put the controller down- is it just the negative thoughts that swoop in right then?

When I start thinking, it's about everything that is unresolved. All of the things mentioned in this thread are among them. Plus a few that vary from day to day. Like, how I'm going to beat that one boss in that one video game I'm playing at the time. But, that's just an example.
You cannot find the inspiration to stop- and who would, when it is something that makes you feel alive! But you seem uncomfortable with this, because as you pointed out, it isn't a little harmless fun- it is an addiction.
To be loved and cared for is something that is rooted deeply into the human heart. We come out of the womb, into this new scary environment, getting an overload of the senses and needing safety! So we form attachments with our family, and they are our role models for other relationships.
It's not always that easy though! You say you are homeschooled- in what ways do you think that this has affected your relationship with others? Are you a member of any youth or church groups?

The church I'm involved with has a nonexistent youth group that never got off the ground because of the lack of young people attending. The whole church is full of people over the age of 50.
If you could rate yourself on a scale of 1-10, what would you rate it?
Also, tell me- do you have any hobbies- music, art, writing, sports, photography?
Are you really insignificant?
Think about this- whoever you meet, you effect them in intricate and unimaginable ways. People often judge us less than we believe that they do as well. That certainly doesn't keep us from wondering how small we are, in the scheme of things. You are a thinker, yes? A busy mind can be chaotic.
I went a little more in depth than I had first intended... haha... feel free to PM about this, I'm always open to talking to people about these things.

I've no hobbies besides video games. The opportunity never availed itself for me to be able to partake in anything that required resources to begin with, and have always been a person too lazy to get anything else done.
A chaotic mind, that sums me up pretty well.
I don't see how I've had such a positive impact on others. And, since they will be gone in another few generations as well, nothing is gained in my mind. But, I would like to add that if I win souls for God, then there is something gained. I'm in no shape to go witnessing though.
Thanks for the post.
