Anxiety Issues: Achievements

I'm becoming bit of a nervous twitch right now. Yesterday I was looking at my profile on AStats, after, somehow, joining a private group called 100% Achievements Group. I don't recall getting an invite yet was able to join. I noticed 22 achievements were invalid. I took a look at it to see what were invalid, and all achievements to Stanley Parable were invalid due to irregulations, mainly because of the Go Outside achievement, don't play the game for 5 years.

I began to panic I may be viewed as a cheater to that community site, however found this thread regarding the issue. I made a post asking if relocking that achievement would make the others valid again, and if i unlocked it in December 3rd, 2019, which would be 5 years for me since I last played it to get the Commitment achievement (Steam says December 3rd, 2014 12am, while AStats says 7am; unsure if this is also causing the irregulation).

Now I know I shouldn't let little things like this cause me to panic and move on, but being labeled as a cheater, despite I'm not as it would say I am in red text on the AStats profile, easily upsets me.

I do like that AStats is not counting Demos/Betas, FTP games that you can remove under Licenes+Subscriptions that have achievements and discount any broken/impossible achievements, like Good Guy Nick in L4D2. So I may refer more to that than the Steam's Showcase, which is inaccurate with the numbers to an extent. There's 4 out of 6 games unaccounted while 2 are counted but not registered to my account: Fallen Earth (removed it) and Stanely Parable demo (removed it, has one achievement.)

Right now this is my new mind set on games with achievements: Get many as I can in a game, and if some require multiplayer or patient overall, I won't stress over them and just wait for the right moment/mindset to get them. Don't be in any rush to get them nor force your friends to help you get them. Could easily ruining friendship that way.

There are some games that I'll see I won't get 100% in, like Portal 2's Professor Portal or any games with leaderboard related or popularity (in a commute) achievements. A friend of mine has the same issue with a few other games.

When you're achievement hunting, do not always plan to 100% a game, almost always you won't be able to because it's either broken, stupidly impossible, or was purposely made not to be obtained as a joke. (Cooking by the Book and Level Four Revive Materia for example).

This comic by Nerf Now!! sums it up well when it comes to achievement hunting.

With that all being said, I feel more relaxed and better about myself. Just have to let go of the mindset to 100% every game you get. Most of the time, Devs can make stupid achievements, just like Garry's mod (namely the 10/100/1000 Thumbs, Addict, Mega Upload and Yes, I am the real Garry!)

I do wish devs would be more considerate when making achievements, and realize when an achievement is broken and either fix or remove it. Also wish it was possible to relock/reset achievements through Steam and not rely on a third party software that some use to relock them.

Don't let achievements run your life, nor a gamerscore on Xbox. It's nice to have goals in games, but don't let those control your life all or most of the time. In the end, they are meaningless to life, but does help boost your confidence when you're down.
