Does anyone else just find it impossible to relax and enjoy video games like they used to in the old days?

Does anyone else just find it impossible to relax and enjoy video games like they used to in the old days?
Every time I try to play something, I instantly start stressing about all the other things I """should""" be doing and that completely ruins my fun and I end up quitting after 15 mins.
How does one get over this?

No, it's just you.

maybe you should do the other things then, so you not also do the things you should really be doing at last, but also reclaim the worry free enjoyment of video games?

that's called being a normalfag, most people here hate video games because they have objectively become fucking trash

your brain is subconsciously making you feel guilty for wasting time and not being productive during the day
the only solution is to actually do something with your life besides shitposting and watching anime
you can do it user! i believe in you!

You're legitimately only doing to to yourself and ruining your own fun, because you've spent hell knows how long to convince yourself you shouldn't be playing games.

It's just you. I'm 30, own my house have a job and I don't have this problem.

same

Well, yeah, most of the time when I'm alone, but when I'm with my younger sister is all different, we do nothing but play all day, maybe you need a friend

Consider attaching a vibrator on your dick while playing

Not having any responsabilities helps a lot

I get this guilt but then I got a job and now I can play Vidya all evening guilt free because I work hard all day.

Humans need a work life balance or you become fucking depressed

Yes. It usually involves my phone getting a message or something.

I haven’t played for longer than an hour lately.

I get that feeling a lot. I don't even know what it is I should be doing, and some things I can think of I really don't want to do, but I get a feeling that paralyzes attempts to play games nonetheless.

Congratulations you grew up. Now your brain has rewired itself to want to be atleast somewhat productive since now that you are an adult you possess the ability to make decisions for yourself that can affect the world around you and it wants to make the most of your new opportunities.
A good remedy it to do something time consuming, exhausting, and ether constitutes a physical or mental challenge prior to bringing out the games. Afterwards you'll want to wind down relax and have some fun and you'll find that a beer and some vidya is the perfect way to do that. Treat yourself like the stereotypical working dad only instead of spending your downtime watching sportsball you play games.

That feeling is your instinct telling you to stop wasting time and spread your seed. You need to get a nice thick booty slampig to get rid of those feelings

It's just you. When I start my game, I don't give a fuck about anything else.

Solomon's Key

I understand this feeling, and for some reason it doesn't happen with browsing Yea Forums, but only with video games.

I was like that at one point, then I got more free time and went back to playing games I truly liked instead of whatever was popular.
Now I have just as much fun as I did when I was young.

not really, i fit into both op's category and yours

I have migraines all the time and looking at screens or any source of light just intensifies them badly, so I also haven't really done much.
I just want the pain to fucking go away.

The key is to match the monitor's brightness with the background.

No, I don't have whatever mental illness causes that.

Source?

imagine the smell

Negima manga.

I've tried everything and it doesn't really help. Just looking at something hurts about half the time.
My fucking doctor just tells me to take ibuprofen and drink more water and idk what to do.

If you actually get your shit together that passes and you can enjoy vidya again. If you're a loser with no job no prospects no friends of course you're gonna be disappointed in yourself and feel like shit for rewarding yourself for making no efforts in life like a delusional NEET.

You probably work hard and feel good about your achievements. OP isn't in that boat.

Try mometasone furoate nasal spray. I've had crippling migraines my whole life but it turns out it's my fucking sinuses and this nasal spray has completely eliminated them.

>because they have objectively become fucking trash
Objectively incorrect.

Same. It's not like I have anything more important to do, but my free time is now limited so I start thinking... is this really the BEST way to spend my evening? Maybe I should play something else, read a book, watch a movie? I waste hours and hours doing nothing, looking for something that's worth my time... and it's 10PM again, time to sleep!

Fuck, I hate my life. While I'm at work, I can't wait to go back home. Once at home, I don't do shit. Why am I like this?

Do you have friends/gf?

>How does one get over this?
Dedicate time to things you unorganized fuck.

Nope. Just online friends I play with from time to time.

To be honest my life isn't even that bad, it's not like I work 14+ hours a day. But for some reason I can't enjoy anything anymore, I have this constant feeling I'm wasting my time, no matter what I do.

I get anxious over the fact I can't do whatever I want whenever I want, I guess. The funny thing is, as I said... I just waste hours and hours on my phone doing NOTHING until it's time to go to sleep and repeat the cycle.

>maybe you should do the other things then, so you not also do the things you should really be doing at last
The biggest problem with this kind of thing is that the feeling persists even if there isn't actually anything to do.

Thanks, couldn't remember the name.

>355 chapters
Jesus fuck

>start stressing about all the other things I """should""" be doing
The wage cage was always metaphorical.
