This is an excerpt of my answer regarding Anne’s concern, I posted it on Lil’s wall and I’m doing a quick copy and paste, for I’m in a little hurry right now. Will be back for more later:

I’m also sharing Anne’s concerns about people quitting the game as a result of putting overly high demands on themselves (especially in the area of friends/gifting), which might lead to burn out.

I started to get a glimpse of that feeling, when my game was giving me trouble, forcing me to slow down. It was like “OMG I cannot gift/reciprocate/visit, Chu, go hide yourself under a rock, you’re a paltry friend! Maybe I should quit?” Of course that’s totally nonsense.

Anne, you hit the nail on the head, as for me, I’m pretty much of a OCD and perfectionist as well. Sometimes it even irks me seeing uneven numbers on my collection items. Lol. But I feel quite attached to my friends and really like the game, so I decided not to stress out about the game too much and rather trust in my friends. If real life takes precedence, they’ll understand.

Thank you, Anne, for bringing this up. It kind of hit me saying goodbye to Patsy, and with Cpl. Ferro another long term player is leaving for good. I wasn’t linked with him/her, but from what I’ve heard she/he seemed to be a very good friend and will sure be missed. It was LiSaLo who told me, not to take things too seriously and rather slowing down a bit than quitting 😊
