I spent an entire week video gaming and barely went outside, now I'm acting up really awkward in front of my friends do you think this has to do with video games?

Uninstall all games for a while. Worked for me during exams and when I was feeling like I was really getting addicted. Use an extension to block Twitch, TFTV, etc if those distract you too much

You can do that for as long as you need. If you feel like you might have it a bit more under control after a week you can reinstall games. But keep in mind it's a constant struggle to battle an addiction.

Look for something else to keep you busy when you uninstall/block everything otherwise you'll be bored out of your mind. Go for a walk, ride your bike around the block, make a healthy salad, etc

I mean you spent a week without any social interaction so yes, you'll need a bit of time to come back to reality

Maybe it's placebo. Or maybe it's something else that's causing your awkwardness, don't try to understand how brains work it's way too difficult. Generally though too much of anything is bad and you shouldn't wait to see the consequences, simply don't do it.
