Ok, I was going to post this in gaming but i think its better suited here (that's my mod side shining through). I'd imagine this happens with other things too but i don't notice it as much. Lets say a new game comes out, everyones hyped, we're all playing as a team, figuring out a story line / objectives. We start playing for a number of days but I can't get on for one of the days so the team go ahead and go further into the story line, then I come back on and the team offer to replay the story line, I simply couldn't, i wouldn't get enjoyment out of it. Everyone already knows what happens, so if something hilariously funny (among other things) happens, it just isn't going to be the same second time around, if that makes sense? It happens with loads of games including minecraft and I feel like a ******* **** to my mates as I can't help but feel bored as **** when replaying content they've already seen.

It's like going to see a film with a friend that they've already seen. For me, I wouldn't, it just ruins the film for me, even if they aren't throwing spoilers around. I feel like a right ***, they've already seen it I feel like they're watching it again just for me. I guess in some sense I'm worrying about their boredom levels which then in return makes me bored. Even if they wanted to see it again, it just doesn't feel right. Even if they're 100% ok with it, I'm not, I would still get bored everytime. I think I'm going mad.

It happens on habbo too, if someone has already done a maze for example then asks me to join them in doing it again, I won't just reject their offer, i'll attempt to play but get bored very quickly. Then I feel like the worst person ever lol cos I'm making them bored also by not being upbeat and 'into' it.

Most people probs think its out of spite just so my friends put everything on hold just for me but that isn't the case, I want them to go on and have fun without me but I struggle to play the game again.




I think I might be mentally ill ;l I sometimes feel like just cutting gaming out of my life as it's just something stupid and embarrassing that gets on my nerves. Anyone ever feel like this :( or have any suggestions on how to deal with something like that, it sounds weird as **** but it bugs the hell out of me.

How long do I have?

I know what you mean but I never really get like it.

Like fair enough it might not be funny the second time around, but then you catch up and continue from there, instead of just letting it die down and never playing :P

I don't play games for stuff to happen that are hilarious, if it happens it happens cool but I don't play for that reason, play for fun and anything else is a bonus.

Not even just for that reason, that's just an example. I've done it before when we've built big amazing suction pads in minecraft, if someone continues a build, does loads of work and I'm not participating I instantly get bored.

I'm just a selfish bobba I guess but I can't get over it man :( I don't mean to do it.

This doesn't make you a bad friend or mentally ill :P If somebody wants to replay content of any type it's likely not always solely for your benefit and can often be because they actually enjoy it and want to relive the experience! You describe yourself as selfish but this behaviour is completely opposite and suggests that you're thinking too much about bothering others and not enough about the fact that they've specifically asked to do something with you.

As someone who has watched GoT 3 times with different people, has 7 LoL profiles and has restarted runescape enough times to create an entire clan of accounts, I can safely say that anybody that I've redone anything with has only served to make my experience better the second time around.

Your boredom stems from anxiety about being a burden on others. Start by realising that you aren't. Try to enjoy the game and whoever is playing will in turn enjoy it just as much.

You got to be selfish sometimes and be like NO we are playing it again! If they don't mind i'm sure it;s really ok! Saying that, i wont go see a film with someone thats already seen it as i feel its a waste of their money, i'll just download it later n watch whenever
