I can't help it, but every time I get into any game with a lot of content (TES, Fallout, etc...) I feel compelled to thoroughly loot all the locations I discover and read all the material, even if it's unrelated to any quest I'm pursuing. I also need to do absolutely ALL the quests even if they don't make sense for the character I'm roleplaying, and sometimes discover all the locations.
I've enjoyed doing that for the past few years but now it's seriously getting in my way when I try to enjoy a game. I get bored and it all feels pointless, and then I quit. I also have little time to do anything else given that I can't play all day long. But when I do pass up a location I've just discovered to concentrate on my quest, then I get profoundly unfulfilled. How do I get over being a completionist?

Stop playing open world games. They are designed to addict completionist autists who don't see anything wrong in wasting their time to collect some crap.

I like to play open-world games, I'd just like to know how people do it without checking out 100% of the things in it. I'm not even in this for trophies, just for personal accomplishment, otherwise I feel like I've wasted the game.

This, open world games can't be finished without you wasting hours more on it than you'd have if you played a linear game. I'm doing more and more older games who had semi-open world levels like Crysis.
How do i become a completion?
When i try to do that i get bored and end up not finishing the game. I just want to finish one game fully with everything.

I am one and I get bored anyway (used to be fun, not anymore)
Why don't you apply that same philosophy to real life
