guess I've been too depressed for Animal Crossing because I haven't logged on in about 5 days now. People just turn it into a numbers game now and that's the antithesis of what I loved about the series. Don't fucking talk to me about turnips, I'm just there to vibe with nature.
I know people have good intentions but when I see people brag about their island ratings and show off all this crazy shit and millions of Bells and I'm over here like...bro I barely have energy to get out of bed. Now you're making me feel bad about about my feel-good game too?
I feel like an awful human being because people want to play multiplayer but I feel so much anxiety like in real life. I feel this constant pressure to impress and perform and have cool things to show them. I feel like people are disappointed when they visit me. So much stress
My friends don't even get it, and I know they're excited to play this game for the first time, but it's just making me so unhappy. I just don't have energy after working 8 hour days in the store again. I could barely keep up before that. I don't want to have to fight to keep up.
I don't know how to tell people "Please stop telling me about your progress in this game. It is hurting me." I feel like an old fucking curmudgeon but everything's already spoiled for me now so what's the point? Sometimes I hate the internet. It's always been a solo game for me.
They tell me it's not a competition, but they're making it one. You're supposed to design cute outfits and listen to sweet themes and admire the sunset. It's not about crafting as much and as quickly as possible. I want you hear the wind in the trees. It's about living slowly.
there are certain activities I have always preferred doing alone because I enjoy them more in silence without judgment or concrete plans, where I may change course at a whim and not feel like I have to explain myself. Maybe I'm just doomed to be a hermit forever lol
sorry to sound like a lame jerk. I want to have fun like everyone else but it reminds me of being in school and left out of everything again. I'm always in last place or falling behind. I just wanna play my dumb animal game without feeling like a loser in-game too.
