I am playing chess past 8 years and they were fun. But when I play overtime, my brain stop braining and I play nonsense moves. I love chess but is investing so much time, grinding for rating and games when you are not following chess professionally, really worth it. Many good players feel that they wasted a lot of time playing chess and they regret it. Just want your views on the topic. Thanks

Chess is a waste of time if it negatively interferes or takes time away from important things (study, work, sport, social life - real social life, I mean...).

If you can combine it and the rest, chess is a stimulating activity, and also beneficial for your mood. The key ( IMO ) is to focus on the game in itself and the pleasure you get from building your games; only worrying about ratings when you're sitting at the table during a tournament.
