Weird Question: Why won't I play games by myself?

I don't know if this is a good question to ask, but everyone tells me "there are no stupid questions" so here I go : (awkward warning)

I don't feel like playing my games when it comes up that I have nothing else to do.

I talk with my friends about all the games we play (League of Legends, CS:GO), and I see that I ONLY play games with my friends. I think mostly about my many steam games, and the others (LoL, CS:GO) and if I'm going to play them (alone) and my schooling, etc. But whenever I get some time alone I opt out and it's annoying me because I'm pressuring myself to get better at those games but I won't play myself.

This is super awkward, but I googled things and to no avail I haven't found what I was looking for. Some background info: I play a LOT with my best friend, I think that maybe I'm not in the 'mood' for anything without him because I'm just too used to playing alongside him. Is this the case? It's a bleak and vague question, but how should I get out of 'shell'?

I dunno, I like to play with myself.

You're simply growing out of gaming to the point where you need a stimulus to get you to do the activity. Its also possible that gaming as an activity has become a social activity for you. Its really simple.

I think @GazaAli is right; it seems to me that gaming is something you do because it gives you a social outlet, like people who go to bars not because they like to drink but because it's a place all their friends hang out in. I don't think it's something you need to "fix"...

I'm having that to

the social aspect of gaming makes gaming a lot more interesting and that's why you don't play those single players anymore

but that's not the only reason , the advancement in games lately is next to nothing, so why play rehased bs.

The weak next gen console don't make it any better as well. Since people will buy less and less of those games the industry will adapt automatically

look at game like thief, doesn't sell well, why? it doesn't improve much on a genre that's milked out already.

I'm actually the opposite and prefer to play single player games over MP. I don't think there's anything wrong with you. It's reasons like this that developers make multiplayer games, and sometimes only multiplayer games. Just roll with it. If you like gaming with friends, then stick with it.

thanks babes ♥

Idk why...Whatever you have, I don't want it...This is worse than people who refuse to eat alone...
