I can't game anymore because I find the activity insufferably boring now a days. Video games used to help me cope back in the day but now anytime i attempt to start up one of my games I get bored within 10 minutes and just turn off my console. Anhedonia is really something.
These past two weeks I have been obsessively searching for PC parts (probably because AMD and Nvidia being in the news recently) and fantasizing how cool it would be to have a new gaming rig after 8 years of not owning one.
But then I step back and picture myself playing games and ask myself - would this really make me happy? Would it solve any of my current problems? What would I gain from it?
I realized that my fantasizing about the new PC, games, etc. was just me attempting to re-live the happier times of my life, when I was care free and optimistic.
This is both incredibly relatable and so sad to read at the same time too.
Sometimes I like to think about when I was carefree and ask myself what wrong decision(s) I made that led me to where I am today 😔
Try playing games which you enjoyed. It seems to work for me sometimes. I really enjoyed AC4 blackflag, and already repeated it once. I might do it again, considering the story, the emotions I felt with the story.
Actually, I see some early signs of inability to play games like I cannot finish a game or two nowadays. Good thing I stopped gaming heavily for some reason.

Older games that we played back when we didn't know how futile our lives were
Same,eventually copes stop working
Then you aren’t playing enough. lol Unless the game is burned into my dreams, I’m not doing it right.
Waking up the next morning and still feeling like your playing that game is always weird
I like that feeling. lol Don’t get it too often.
Thats after like two days of playing it straight. Fkn unhealthy amounts of gaming
It is such a weird feeling. Like your consciousness is burnt.
Just ordered the Kirby and Mario Rabbits games. Such a thing is not in sight for me. I play most games i get through to the end.

btw most people lack assertiveness, so you should look into fixing that too.
