@nicksmi56 Holly, thank you for such a great and in-depth response ! You definitely helped me understand my issue by sharing your own experiences ! you have such a healthy attitude towards something relaxing, entertaining, and something that is supposed to be form of your leisure time, not a part time job (because that how video games feels to me now)
@nutter , @efesell@bradbrains I will definitely consider cutting my backlog, but definitely it might be the issue, and I'm buying too many games for full price on a whim. I didn't think they are such a big part of the problem, because no matter if I have 3 or 12 games on my backlog, I still can't focus on the game I'm currently playing. I will give it a shot tho and see how I feel :)
I will cut my backlog, buy games on at least 30% price cut instead of buying them at the release date and not playing them for months. Plus, what I think will help me the most is breaking this big 50+h games with one/two days of some roguelike game or multiplayer session, perhaps some small 8-12h game :)
I was thinking I would be laughed at, and criticized, not even mentioning receiving any helpful advice. I was sooo wrong. Everyone in this post pitched in something very important and meaningful for me, and my life. I'm really motivated and I already feel better. My anxiety with beating video games will probably be smaller until if will finally be gone, and video games will again start feeling like video games. So thank you <3
