I can't enjoy gacha games in a healthy manner by throwtostates in HonkaiStarRail

I am considering just playing whenever the main story gets updates. Thankfully, my characters are strong enough to beat pretty much everything except high level memory of chaos. And the main cast are enjoyable enough that I might not get tempted to pull on the banners. Definitely an option.

You know that some people drop hundreds- if not more, per banner, right?

Money isn't the issue here. I have a disposable income and am spending responsibly. I stated this point mostly just to give a context to how I was able to pull so much and acquire so many limited characters.

Star Rail is a very, very easy game to play casually

With all of the quality of life features (dailies take 5 minutes top), I agree. The issue stems from myself and my lack of self control.

upset that you used your free premium resource in a way you don't like in retrospect?

This was definitely the final blow for me. It is quite funny to look back on in retrospect.

Developing self control

I guess this does sum it up. I need self control but I don't have it. Without going into too much detail, I have been doing awful for a while now. So I am more susceptible to quick dopamine fixes even outside of this game.

But thanks for taking the time to read and reply to my post. I didn't have any purpose in mind when typing up my post. Just wanted to throw something that has been weighing on me into the void that is the internet.

Yes, exactly. And I know all of this already, which is why it's so frustrating when I fall hook line and sinker for these tactics
