It feels really stupid to say, but im getting really freaked out and panicky over tomodachi life.
If you dont know the game, you can create mii characters of fictional characters and people you know and watch them do silly antics and grow relationships.
A few years ago when i started university I made all of my (at the time, new) friends in the game, sending them updates on what their characters were doing, it was fun.
Recently, they released the new game and I did the same thing, but l've been feeling like its negatively impacting my experience. I feel like I dont have agency, like im not really getting to enjoy the game the way I want to. The original was my childhood game and I really loved it, but I feel like i have to perform for everyone else, like I need to make the funny decisions that will make everyone else happy rather than play the game how i want to, its making it more of a chore than anything.
It got worse when I let a friend play the game, something i would do frequently with the previous game. I get it back and now im just feeling really upset at every decision they made. They made everyone meet everyone when i really wanted the groups to stay seperate, they let one mii fall in love with another that I just really wish I could have seen, and I feel a compulsion to undo everything they did and remove all of them to start over.
But I really dont know WHY im feeling this way, I feel like a control freak, its so strange, why am I THIS upset about what should be a minor issue? Why do I need my experience of a video game to be perfect? Its stressing me out but WHY?
I dunno, im autistic if that helps, im just really stressed.
