Do you ever feel like you're overly obsessed with cryptocurrencies or trading/investing in general?
Personally, I'm fairly satisfied with my investments/decisions so far but yet I'm looking for market opportunities most of the time. I think that's mainly because of the fact that majority of my time browsing the internet I watch related content. I'm passionate quite passionate about it.

Over time it kinda makes me feel depressed that I don't make as much as I possibly could or others have better scores (some unhealthy jealousy I guess?), so this "paper-chasing" has become a target itself.

When I want to take a break from all this stuff for let's say a month or week at least then I'm not able to because I'm afraid that I will miss out on something.
On the one hand, I have made investments in projects I believe in so I could leave it for few months even and then back but at the other hand, I'm still not quite sure about my diversification so I keep watching the market.

Can anyone relate?

I definitely remember having that addiction feeling back when i first started trading but now I dont really pay much attention to the prices because not much happens.  Im just holding and waiting for another bull run and then ill start paying more attention.  However, i definitely still do have the feeling of jealousy because im not making enough but i try to put those feeling at bay because they lead to bad trading decisions.
I guess we all started feeling the same way, specially when we are too focused on the market status hourly or on a daily basis, the fluctuation of price, and doing lots of research which we forget the true purpose of our goals and concern about Bitcoin that. I realized that everything that is too much does not always give positive results, you might miss some of the important details and wondering why you still fail. It's about working smartly, strategically, and positively.
