Just so I don’t get 1upped by Flower and CW quitting mafia here, I just want to write this random post to maybe clarify some things since I think I’ve come to a realization.
My mental health sucks and there isn’t much I do that improves it or makes me happy. I spend a lot of time in my room alone cuz I can’t find the motivation or a reason to leave, and so a lot of my time is spent online and rotting in bed in a dark room. And so when a mafia game starts and I don’t have irl stuff to do I’ll just camp thread all day since at least it’s people to talk to and something to do. The issue with this is mafia becomes the only thing I do some days and therefore my entire potential source of happiness for the day. So if I lose, losing just becomes another woe in my already existing list of woes. And if I win, idk. I’m usually dead so I don’t feel like I earned it or that I could’ve won better so I end up feeling indifferent. It’s been a mystery for a while why I felt this way until losing 3 games in a row to afk mafia teams made me really consider why losing would make me literally cry and ruin the rest of my day and leave me bitter and angry and toxic. I will admit I outted from all my games in a fit of rage but I’m gonna stand by my decision to end with champs since the FOMO and regret prevent me from 100% quitting. But currently mafia is a net negative for me despite how great the people are and I really am not in a good spot to continue playing. I need to be playing this when I have time to kill and other sources of joy / less sources of pain, not when I’m close to rock bottom and continuing to dig down. I really fear that if I keep going I’m just going to become more and more angry and toxic, to the point where I’ll become unrecognizable from the player ppl have enjoyed playing against.
There are probably a few more games I’ll play due to FOMO or addiction or whatever, but the main decision here is to quit and attempt to work on myself. It has been great to meet and play with u all but like I really just can’t commit
Completely unrelated but I think ppl who get banned on MU flock to OLF and WG to get their fix
But anyway pls reach out if u want to chat since I love talking and I’m very alone
But don’t tempt an addict with a new mafia game pls and ty
Bye for now. Maybe I’ll be better in the future
