I can’t stop thinking about European soccer goals (The actual goals, not the game result), and they play in my head all day. I am severely addicted to this and want it to stop, please. How do I get bored of these clips so whenever a memory of these goals gets in my head, my mind just brushes it off?
I am addicted to soccer/football (whatever the hell the name is, i don’t care). HELP ME. I am just 16 right now, and I have had this problem since I was 13. I don’t want to be a soccer-watcher anymore. But my brain fights against it. I fear that I will be a grown-ass man watching this sport and crushing my hands while doing it laughing like an insane monkey. All I think about is goals, like the one in the recent club championship, the CL. I am scared, that this addiction will never go away. Whenever I get reminded of a goal, wherever I am whatever I am doing, it just plays in my head over and over again. I CAN NOT BRUSH IT OFF. It is like a drug. BUT HOW THE F*** AM I SUPPOSED TO CONTROL WHAT MY BRAIN THINKS. It is easy for me to not watch soccer on youtube for weeks on end. But the clips play in my head, and I can’t get them to stop. When I was a kid, I loved the LEGO series Ninjago. I would rank the gis the ninja had, the villains, etc. By the time I was about the become a teen, I grew out of it, and never gave it much thought. These days, my mind brushes off Ninjago and can’t care enough about it for thoughts about it to last more than 3 seconds. I loved Ninjago for 2 to 3 years intently. I would walk around the the recess playground alone coming up with my own ideas for ninjago lego sets. And my mind just doesn’t care anymore about it. HOW DO I ENSURE THAT THIS SAME THING HAPPENS TO THE GODLY CURSE THAT IS SOCCER/FOOTBALL?! PLEASE, TELL ME!!! I AM WASTING MY LIFE THINKING ABOUT HOW SWEATY MILLIONAIRES USE THEIR FEET TO GUIDE A BALL BEYOND ANOTHER SWEATY MILLIONAIRE INTO TWO PIECES OF METAL WRAPPED WITH CLOTH TO LINE THE POCKETS OF A BILLIONAIRE. I AM WASTING MY HIGH SCHOOL AND REAL LIFE. I know I stopped caring about Ninjago since middle school began since middle school kept me busy and my mind just started to lose focus on Ninjago and on other things. Ninjago didn’t get boring per say, but other things began attracting my attention more like SpongeBob, Star Wars, Super-heroes, Dude Perfect, etc. Overall, it eventually faded. These days however, I have almost no interest in film or tv show. I can’t bring myself to care about Marvel Cinematic Universe or Star Wars, I just can’t. Not Harry Potter, nothing. TV Shows, I just dont care much for them. So, what form of entertainment CAN I PLEASE START WATCHING to END my brain’s soccer addiction, and make soccer boring. WHAT CAN I DO TO BORE SOCCER OUT. Sure, not watching it will help. But I watched it for 3 years. All those highlights from the 3 years just keep on playing in my head over and over again. And this happens for days, weeks, on end. I take goals, and replace the players who scored them with different players and do that action for many goals and my brain gets addicted to that pointless action. So, even when i stop watching it, the amount of current highlights in my head is so massive, my brain will never run out of soccer to obsess over. I am about to go into 12th grade. I PRAY TO GOD THAT BY THE TIME I ENTER UNIVERSITY, I AM BORED AS FU** OF SOCCER, AND HAVE FOUND A NEW PASSION, SOMETHING NEW TO THINK ABOUT WHEN i am doing nothing. The World Cup is coming up in 2022. Overall, I have made progress in the realm of soccer obsession in that I really don’t care nor an interested anymore in the domestic leagues. the fu***ng champions league is what has caused most of the addiction however. However, I am nearly losing interest in that too. after 3 years/3 seasons of watching that competition start to finish, it has gotten stale and it is hard to care anymore. however, THE HIGHLIGHTS KEEP RUNNING IN MY HEAD. I WONT WATCH THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE, BUT OLD HIGHLIGHTS RUN IN MY HEAD. Should I watch the world cup 2022, since I watched the 2014 and 2018 ones before my addiction and when I watched those, the highlihgts never played in my head. I watched like how I wish I could watch right now, as a casual fan. Overall, I know the whole point of soccer is the result, i feel like perhaps it would be best for me to not watch the 2022 world cup, as in the matches, but rather just see the scores off of Google. or maybe i don’t even need to see that. I AM WILLING TO DO ANYTHING TO RID MYSELF OF THIS BRAIN-FOOTBALL ADDICTION. IF ANYBODY, ANYBODY HERE COULD HELP ME, I GIVE YOU THE BIGGEST HUGEST THANKS. please. please.
