I’ve kinda given up on college football and a few other sports. Not because my teams aren’t winning but because of the emotional investment I really don’t have to give. Somehow there are other things I’d rather celebrate or enjoy at the moment. Maybe it’s a seasonal thing.

It happens. I’m sure it’ll still be there if you want to go back.

Good on you. I’ve also had moments when I realized that I’m becoming overly occupied with something and that it’s not worth my time. Making a mental effort to reduce obsessive preoccupations gives me more time to do things that are more meaningful to me.
It’s an ongoing effort, as new things will come to distract me.

It used be an important part of my family life. Since my dad died and sister moved it’s not so much anymore. The wins and losses game associated with ones self esteem is too much for me to deal with.

I think it’s good do disentangle your self esteem from sports. After all, if you are just a spectator, the team’s performance has nothing to do with you. I mean, it’s just some folks who don’t know you playing a game. Nothing wrong with being happy or sad for them, but it really doesn’t reflect on you as a fan.
