The game you can't stop playing

You only know you were winning when you’ve lost and it’s too late. It ruins your life. Someone only has to say “I lost”, “I just remembered” or “the game” and you’re immediately triggered to think about it. You want to stop playing but you can’t. You don’t want to think about it, but you can’t help it. You want it to be over but you can never stop playing. To ruin someone’s life all you must do is introduce them to the game.
