When I start playing, it’s because I don’t feel like I have the energy to do something more useful, or if I just feel like I need a break. And so my original purpose for starting the game is just to fill time, and maybe even have fun, or recharge energy. But once I start playing, I almost always end up taking the game way too seriously, and I end up burning energy I didn’t think I had, and ending up more tired when I’m finished than when I started. Once I start a game, I have a really hard time stopping. That’s bad. And yet playing games is still my default activity, when I don’t feel like doing anything else.
To what extent are you playing to fill time?
