I've found competitive games just aren't for me.

When I'm doing well competitively, I'm just not having as much fun. Have to take it too seriously to compete and particularly in strategy games the best strategy is often not the most fun.

Playing with known friends in a small instance is decent, but playing in an open scenario just feels exhausting.

I had to stop playing dead by daylight because even that, which is not a competitive game, became too unfun to play casual matches

Basically any games with public multiplayer will end up full of tryhards. I sometimes do multiplayer with friends, I mostly just play single player games. Often that are at least ten years old.
