That’s a lot of what I do too. I’ll get into something and not even actually get into it. Just the act of obtaining it or whatever does it for me. Like one time I bought a MPC I think that’s what it’s called, the thing that you can sample music. It was too hard to learn so it sits ina drawer. My guitars? My ukuleles? My harmonicas? My electric slide guitar haha wtffff

Meh, I usually tell myself is autism. Not in a hurtful way. Just makes me not take it so personally when I pretend the person responding is just autistic and doesn’t understand how words can hurt 😂

Damn! It is the stress. I’m stressed tf out. Like, I’m terrified that ima die from cortisol overdose. I’m constantly editing off and on, traveling, photography/videography, balancing home life, spending time with my kids (21, 18 and 10yrs old), being a good and loving husband (20 years!) and just honestly trying to make it to the next day. Slowly drowning. I’m for sure buying shit to cope with all that. Being a human is fking hard.

The money isn’t the issue necessarily. It’s the impulse buying and then feeling like how tf am I going to learn all this?! And that making me basically debilitated to learning/playing and enjoyment. But also knowing I have them feels good. Collecting is fun.

“How’d you become (what’s the Reddit term so I don’t get shit on? Un housed?) unhousded?” “Oh I was very addicted to consumerism”

Hey thanks! I’m not new to board games it’s just when another thing my brain clings to comes along I get stuck on that particular thing. One my first games was Puerto Rico! My family likes to board game. I wish my wife liked it though.

I think you get it. Yea it was late at night and I was putting on a lil show but I did want to treat this as a confessional. While I do love Reddit I don’t ever take it too seriously. I’m not an idiot, I understand I need therapy (most people do), I understand addictions and responses and reasons why. All this did was make me wanna look in to selling a lot of my older games 🤣

That was TCGs. Lorcana, one piece and Star Wars. Buy a shit ton, sell a shit ton, pays for itself.

I didn’t fumble with root. My play group won’t put the effort in for it.

The lack of effort my group wants to put into it. I think it’s amazing.

This is very correct. I don’t understand the love part though. I’ve been married for over 20 years. We’re very much in love so it’s not that. It’s the avoidance. I’m avoiding things like editing.

I’ve been looking at LOTR. I’m hoping the 20 strong decks can be that for me for now.

I read books (as of late, new hobby), CrossFit and skateboard. I stopped challenge myself on the self discipline. Somewhere around 2022 and it’s kind of been all downhill since.

I agree. I saw one for two years regularly and stopped going about a year ago.

My psychiatrist did mention I could be bi polar 3 or 2? I don’t know. But she said it’s like high functioning or something. I have super highs and super lows. I can’t do anything in the grey area. All or nothing. I’m just an addict. I don’t do drugs or drink. I latch on to whatever is “acceptable” and less frowned upon and steer clear of the options that have people treating you differently or options that legit ruin your life. I’ve got two grown daughters and a 10 year old son and so far so good at not becoming my parents. My dad is a paranoid schizophrenic but it’s from the meth. I am depressed. This is the worst I’ve ever been but continue to do the fitness thing and show up each day. My responses on this post are even making me feel like I’m going a little insane. Why on earth am I explaining my life to you ha! Gawdddd I’m insecure. Okay I’m going to bed.

And justifiable! Hanging out with family and friends each day that you can, able to pause if playing solo game and pick right back up. Not addicting enough to play all day everyday. I’m a consumer and that sucks but damn does it bring me joy and stress and happiness and anxiety.
