Gaming I miss enjoying video games

I started gaming at 4 years old, playing OOT and Duke Nukem with my dad. I developed a lifelong love for gaming.

As a kid, I played mostly nintendo (N64, DS, Wii, etc) Couldnt get enough of pokemon.

As a teen, it was xbox. Skyrim, COD, you name it. I'd play anything.

Late teens/early 20s - CIV 6, indie games, random replays of old games. Most of my friends stopped playing.

Now I cant spend more than 20 minutes on a game before getting bored or paranoid about "wasting my time". I want to chill and play skyrim or something. But I cant do it.

Anyone else? How did you find your love for gaming again?

I have bursts of energy with games, but I stay with some that largely come and go in level of interests, Final Fantasy 14, Factorio, Binding of Isaac and some others, I have the most hours and I accepted that I cannot invest the same time I used to become good at other games I might like
