Feel I've taken this game too serious, need some help

For a long time, I've feel that I've taken osu too serious that it even affected my life, I've try to not to focus, yet every try failed.

When I first joined osu 3 years ago, everything was fine for me, at that time I consider osu as a game to play when I feel bored, but everything changed since I made my long-term dream. I dreamed about being #1 eventually, even knowing this is a hard dream and will take years to come true, I still made this dream. One year later, I changed it into "at least within #1000", yet it's still a hard dream. I reached my peak (14000) on August, 2014, yet I also faced my 3rd junior high year, a year that I have to study for about 14 hours a day.

It's no doubt that under this situation, I don't have much time to play osu and eventually causing my rank to go down, till this day. At first it wasn't a big problem for me, but when I started to see my friends on Facebook getting stronger and stronger, I started to feel depressed. I started to ask myself, "What have I done? Look at what they've done, but me?", and making myself feeling worse everytime when I think of osu.

I once thought about revoke friendship, but that was not a good choice, since I don't want to hurt them. I've never given up my dream, I even made another short-term goal (beat MillhioreF on StrangeProgram), but the dream seemed to be impossible now, and I find it hard to focus on osu now.

Currently I seldom play osu, for me a game with ranking system is something that makes me don't want to play, yet ironically I still want to make my dream come true. An I-don't-care-about-my-rank osu player is like an oxymoron for me, but ironically I really don't care about my rank now, all I want is happiness.

What can I do to make to make my dream come true and also find happiness? I want to make myself happy again with osu again, just like when I first joined.

Get a tablet so you can actually improve and reach your real goal.

I definitely think this belongs in gameplay&rankings

Anyways, all your doing is comparing yourself to your friends and the ranking system. Why not compare yourself to your own plays? Improve and get better scores on on your own local rankings, rather than the rankings of your friends and the leaderboard. You obviously have a competitive desire in you, but you're getting upset when you're not even competing. Play the game and get better, instead of being too scared to start playing again. The hardest part is starting imo.

From what i see, only way you're gonna be "happy" is by either getting better until you're satisfied, which will never happen, because we always strive to improve OR learn to play the game and enjoy it, because its just a game.

I am an oxymoron don't give a fuck about my rank and am pretty happy

Don't worry, be happy.

Here's a little song I wrote
You might want to sing it note for note
Don't worry, be happy
In every map we have some trouble
When you worry you make it double
Don't worry, be happy
(Don't worry, be happy, now)

chorus
Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
(Don't worry)
Ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
(Be happy)
Ooh oo-ooh oo-ooh
Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
(Don't worry)
Ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
(Be happy)
Ooh oo-ooh oo-ooh
(Don't worry, be happy)

Ain't got no place to lay your pen
Somebody came and took your den
Don't worry, be happy
The moderation say your play is fake
They may have to litigate
Don't worry, be happy
(Look at me I am happy)

more chorus
Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
(Don't worry)
Ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
(Be Happy)
Ooh oo-ooh oo-ooh
Here I give you my phone number
When you worry call me, I make you happy
Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
(Don't worry)
Ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh
(Be happy)
Ooh oo-ooh oo-ooh

Ain't got no mouse, ain't got no style
Ain't got no score to make you smile
But don't worry be happy
'Cause when you worry
Your rank will go down
And that will be your comedown
So don't worry, be happy
Don't worry, be happy now

Bigfeh strikes again with some top-notch shitposting.

I think you need to set yourself more reasonable, short-term goals. Like "get 2.5k PP" "Get into top 500 in my country" "Get 3k PP"

Don't stick with one really difficult long-term goal, you need shorter goals to keep you motivated while trying to reach your final goal.

Gaise there are more pro tablet players than mouse players so I think at this point we can objectively say that tablet is better

Just stop giving shits about the game. Play for fun and scores, not pp, and eventually, you'll start climbing ranks again.
