the "hopelessly lost" aspect of the matrix bears here. You are disinclined to doubt the reality of a game that you are successful in. Without that doubt you won't escape it. So success becomes failure because it directly increases your lostness.
Video games lack that "hopelessly lost" aspect. I mean, nobody mistakes them for reality and never comes back. (Right?). So I'm excluding them.
That's a big if. And "real world" is shakey too. Yr running with a stretchy hypothetical here.

I think that the heart of executive dysfunction is the conflict between your own guiding forces and the guiding forces offered by society.
In our society it is assumed that it is only good and healthy that you submit to the latter. And the vast majority of us do, smoothly and automatically.
But some of us are different and this process of submission is not smooth. It might not even happen at all. There will be that ongoing conflict.
