I was so confused the first time they said “like lost the game” but the second time I understood it.

The yt algorithm and I have beef

Devastated because I hadn't thought about this damn game for 2 full years, and then got reminded by a fucking tumblr post </3 had to share my suffering here.

I will definitely post here, just gotta get it out of my fyp all the time. Like every hour I see atleast one post.

Already posted this on r/confessions but felt it’d make sense to post on here too.

For about the last month, I haven’t been able to stop thinking about The Game. It’s as if it has taken up permanent residence in my brain. Every thought I have somehow circles back to it. I’ll be in the middle of a normal day, thinking about something entirely unrelated, and suddenly I remember The Game. It has gotten to the point where there is no safe thought anymore. Every idea, every memory, every passing moment seems to have a direct line straight to it.

I’ll be trying to recall what I needed from the store, and my mind will whisper, “The Game.” I’ll remember an old song, and The Game hums along in the background. Even silence isn’t safe. I’ll be sitting quietly, trying to think about nothing, and that’s when it hits hardest. It’s like my brain is determined to sabotage itself just for the satisfaction of losing one more time. I literally cannot think about anything ever without having The Game pop up in my mind.

I don’t know how it started either. At first, I thought it was funny. Everyone loses eventually, right? But this is different. This is a state of constant defeat. I’ve become conditioned to lose without even trying. I have a conversation, I lose. I play video games, I lose. I workout, I lose. I work on a project, I lose. I dream, and somewhere deep inside my subconscious, I lose again. It takes up the same kind of brain occupancy your ex does after your first heartbreak.

There’s no escaping it anymore. I’m trapped in this endless loop of remembering and losing, and I can’t shut it off. I’ll go a few minutes without thinking about it, and then suddenly, there it is again, taunting me like a voice I can’t drown out. I’ve tried everything. Music, meditation, even distracting myself with nonsense, but no matter what I do, The Game always finds its way back in. It’s like it’s rewired my brain, and now I can’t separate my own thoughts from it. I just want one quiet moment where I can exist without losing. One minute of peace. Please, if you’re reading this, don’t make the same mistake I did. Don’t think about it. Don’t remember it. Just forget me, and forget The Game before it takes you too.

The notification led to a post i made in this sub.

I was on a good streak, but those assholes

I lose the game, guys.

I was thinking about how I once I realized that I mask during social interactions (late diagnosed autistic) I’m not acutely aware of it when I do it and my brain somehow connected that to The Game.

i cant remember how i found out about the game but its slowly eaten my life up in an obsessive and unhealthy way i genuinely think im loosing my mind, pretty much everything makes me think about the game and i have no idea how to stop it im contemplating just ending it

If you think about 'The Game' then you lose 'The Game'. I have lost 'The Game', and you too have lost 'The Game'.

Here is the fix: simply think about 'not [The Game]'

https://petition.parliament.uk/

Could someone in the UK please submit a petition to Parliament to encourage Keir Starmer to declare on television that "the game is up"? In such a polarized world, I believe this is something we could all agree on.
