Hey guys, it's been a tough day. I have realised that cubing is becoming unhealthy. It's all I think about now, and I can barely do anything else, and also, if I don't get in at least 70 solves, I start hating myself. What I need now is reasons to stay, because I fear that if I stop for a while, I won't be able to come back. I really love cubing, but maybe it's best if I leave. I really don't want to, but I dunno, maybe I should leave. I don't know why I felt like posting this, but I know the community will convince me to stay. So go ahead. Make my day.

I have five suggestions:
1. Just solve every once in a while (or a couple times a day) for fun, don't worry about your times, or how many solves you do
2. Realize that 70 3x3 solves really should only take 30-45 minutes depending on how fast you are
3. Get into different events, they can often be really fun and they're not just the same thing over and over again.
4. Take a break for a few weeks or so
5. Quit cubing altogether

I think that you should either get into a new hobby to have alongside cubing so you aren't thinking about one thing all the time and so you can have a couple things you enjoy doing. Or you should take a break from cubing for a couple weeks or maybe longer.

Ah... This is called addiction. Simple solution, try taking a break. Don’t hate on yourself, force yourself to spend time on other things too. Try get another hobby, I like playing Minecraft too, as well as reading books. Be more active on here, that will stop you actually cubing as much. It’s fine to take a break, but do come back - set a reminder or start taking frequent breaks, and getting longer everytime. If you don’t enjoy cubing, try new events. And listen to other people’s advice too.
Please don’t quit cubing, you don’t need to quit to get rid of the unhealthiness, you need a break, or some advice from here.
Wish you luck
Edit: Also you can still be active in the community while you take a break.

Still stuck at 13 for 3x3, taking 3x3 break. Got into other events, I’m liking Mega and Squan

I'm doing well. Just pulled multiple 6's during my ao50, which is nice for 3x3. Working on Redux for 5x5 since I switched from Yao. Other than that, and the face that I suck at OH, pretty good.

He didn't practice for a while, at one point he was at 1:15, but when he actually came back to Megaminx he was a lot slower.

Yeah I was sub 1:15 at one point, and I was too lazy to edit it to say I got worse

Was the RussoKyoober account on this website? I'm fairly sure that would count as ban evasion.
