I'm so sorry if this is a stupid question or anything but I just needed to get this off my chest because THIS IS THE STUFF I THINK ABOUT ON A REGULAR BASIS IM UNHEALTHY UGH.
Anyway, I recently took a break from CS for a few months (from around September) and recently I've been dying to rejoin but have been terrified.
The issue is that my main goal on CS is to collect all the pets and just to trade for the rarer ones and have a fun time, it's a difficult task but since this is my goal I feel super weird getting back into the game because I missed out on so many months and events and it's going to be almost impossible for me to catch up.
I considered becoming a little more lax with my goal and maybe just trying to trade for pets that I like or whatever but it still doesn't feel right. I get super duper nervous and intimidated when I'm thinking about diving back in to the fun because I know that I get tons of anxiety when I'm overwhelmed with lots of things to do and I'm just really not sure what to do or where to begin.
I feel morally obligated to remind, however, that this is absolutely not, in any way, a way for me to get more pets. By all means, do not give me pets just because of this.
But I was wondering if anyone has been/is in the same boat as me and wants to talk me through it or tell me what I should do; whether I should lax my goal or just deal with it or stop being a huge whiny baby and stop moaning about all my problems that have no real life meaning or what.
Any and all replies are very much appreciated and huge slaps in the face with constructive feedback and emotional eye-rolls are also allowed and highly welcome.
