Does anyone else feel stressed thinking about which games to play?

[Dead End]

I have been like this since I was a kid. I would think about which games I have available to play during the school day and become overwhelmed at the options.

Even now, despite only having 4 games installed on my PC, I still feel this way. This extends to all my copes in all honesty. I feel overwhelmed and anxious thinking about making a selection.

I wish I could just stick to one game and master it, but I don't have the dedication to do so and often become distracted by the prospect of other games.

That is why i only play one game at a time. I make repeated playthroughs until i feel satisfied. Then i consider it done and hunt for some new game to play. To me the hunting process is very crucial because i don't like downloading games to not play them or drop them midway. Not finishing a game makes me feel like i ruined the game. So i try to download only those games which i am sure i would love to play. Ik i am weird AS FUCK.

Lucky rip to me

No I just have a difficulty completing a single game. It took me about 6 to 7 years to get all of the endings of the witcher because my repetition would get so bad I would end up repeating things like circling a tree for a long time.

 

[Tšuudi]

Sometimes. When it happens I usually just stare at my game library for a while and then do something else.

Thats the downside of having easy access to many games. The paradox of choice

 

[Poopless One]

These days I only play fortnigger

 

[GigaL0ser]

Yeah I have 3 games to play right now and can’t decide which one should I finish first

 

[SoloLeveling]

I don't feel that way with games but I feel that way with books, so what I usually do is go to one of those random roulette sites, put the names of the books I have and let the destiny decide.

That way it takes the weight out of you.
Works for me.

Sounds logical using randomness, but stuff like this doesn't work for me I don't know why, I stress out over it when I'm away and was like this at school I'm drunk sorry for the sht replying

You sound like a neurotic foid.

I am probably quite neurotic, but how does this sound like a foid thing

Yes. I can understand or relate to this feeling.

Getting anxious and overwhelmed by decision making is foid behaviour.

You have to find your roulette... Try different methods of deciding, I have a friend that likes to use an old rhyme to decide things, in English is something like "one, two, three, every ball kills one, is it chicken or is it turkey? The one I choose it's you" and he choses the one is finger pointed while he finished the last word. It's a weird method but it works for them.

I had a time that I was like you, I didn't know what to play, I didn't know what to read, I didn't want to start things because I was afraid of not finishing them... A few months later I started to say to myself "what the hell, if I don't finish I don't finish, if I don't like it or don't have fun I will just stop instead of making myself finish". Once you start doing that it really helps. I still don't like to star things and not finish them and sometimes I get stuck even with my roulette trick but it only lasts a few days now instead of months...

Sorry, not my choice. Do you expect me to be some extremely confident and collected guy? No I'm a fucking loser with shit mental abilities as well as being ugly

 

[psycho123]

Yea I face a similar problem, I have many games on steam and can pirate a lot more, but I struggle making a decision which one to play. I often play a game, then forget about it, play another game, then realize I had the first game and struggle on making a decision if I should complete the first one then play second one or play both simultaneously like it makes me stressed. And to avoid this stress, I just stick to a one online game all the time then I remember about the games I didn’t finish which makes me even more stressed.

[Shark]

Can relate

 

[Redisk99]

for pirating shit use cs.rin.ru Since im from Turkey nobody cares about digital rights or shit so i can do whatever i want. You guys should check r/piracy for legal stuff if you don't know.

This is caused by an irrational fear of wasting time that could be better spent. You pick a game to play and the entire time playing your just wondering “would my time have been better spent playing something else that I could possibly have enjoyed more?” I know because I’ve been battling the same feeling.

I used to be addicted to a normie competitive game and also enjoyed a creative community game.
I would feel guilty playing the competitive game that I was wasting time that would be better spent creating.
When playing the creative game, a dry patch or technical slog would give me crazy competitive game urges I'd have to fight through.
It was like being a simultaneous meth and heroin addict fr fr

 

[Todd Thundercock]
