I was in this spot once about 10 years ago, and have since fallen into the opposite extreme.
Because I joined various clubs and groups, I ended up working my ass off and having barely any free time, all because I didn't know when to say "no". And its only gotten more extreme as time went on.
And I feel like it isn't so much games as it is Reddit, or similar online communities that, when overdosed on, cause a downwards spiral. I've noticed my mood improving significantly the more I avoided news and forums.
Depends what kind of games probably lately i only play single player or couch coop games with my girlfriend. Any of these always online/competitive games are so toxic I can see them causing lots of stress and frustration.
Yeah I quit playing basically any PVP games because I suck and it makes me mad or depressed.
The worst part about established clubs and groups is the commitment for sure
Better to try and form/join one made of friends so that you can just come and go whenever you want
