General Why do people find RTS games "stressful"?

[quietoffensive]

RTS games stress people because there's never any break. You're building, defending, scouting, attacking all at once. Just a little distraction can wipe your whole base off. Strictly speaking, some RTS games require more concentration than the actual work. Maybe that's why plenty of people run back to more relaxed genres.

RTS can genuinely be stressful. You're managing the economy, scouting, defending, attacking and planning all at once. Just a distraction can collapse everything. That's when I understood why some people don't like that genre. Compare that to games where you can relax and move at your own pace. RTS demands attention every second.
