hello!
one thing i've been struggling with, is that for some reason i am never satisfied with the games i have, I ALWAYS WANT MORE! like, in recent days i have bought some games but when i played them i quickly grew tired of em, and started neglecting them a bit or didn't even play em at all!
i try to have fun with many different things at once and it just makes me play nothing at all, i try to go for the game that has takes the least effort to have fun and that is ruining me :( now i'm rejecting games too quickly for my lazyness...
how can i solve this? i swear i don't hate these games, they are awesome! i just don't wanna do all the work (even if it's little) inside the games to have fun. i want this laziness to be gone!

just posted this cus today, i was trying to make a minecraft modpack so i could play survival but then started overthinking the choices and just gave up on making it completely and then i went: "hey playing animal crossing would be cool" BRO I NEVER PLAYED THAT IN MY LIFE, I HAVE SO MANY OTHER GAMES I COULD PLAY! like night in the woods, oblivion, morrowind ANYTHING!!!
but for some reason i always strive for something THAT I DON'T HAVE!!! it's infuriating!!!

i always do this, best way ive found is to plan when you are going to play them, like say you know you have 2 hours free later make a note in your head that you are going to dedicate that time to playing a certain game

Yeah, this kind of thing sucks, huh?
At least in my view, if you don't mind me trying to offer a bit of advice; Something you enjoy shouldn't feel like a job or an obligation. You're not any less of a gamer for not wanting to play 24/7. You know you like games, right? That's all that matters, so what if you take a break or fizzle out on a few titles. it's ok to take a break until thing come naturally or you find something that really speaks to you.
Coming from someone who really, really likes games, I'll often go a month or two where I only play one game or even none at all and then come back to it. Plus, the idea of this "backlog" of games you have to play through isn't for everyone. I feel it's kind of a case of something becoming popular without people thinking of if it fits them or not. If having a game backlog makes gaming more fun for you, go with it. If not, then don't. It's not some gate for enjoyment that you play a million games at once.
...kind of rambled there, but I hope I got my point across :)

I am very much the same :,)
My ADHD mixed with depression makes it hard cause I get bored fast and crave mental stimulation, excitement and so on but I find myself unmotivated to play games and like you said, quickly get bored.
I think I struggle with the feeling of having no one to see my progress or talk about the game im playing. Feels pointless in a way. Trying to get back into it by joining spacehey and making friends to motivate me.
