Stardew is a cozy game

I must be doing something wrong then. It's one of the most stressful games I've ever played. The constant grind on the field, the need to explore and find resources to upgrade your tools, while the villagers passively-aggressively force you to interact with them and give them gifts. Then, there's a lore to uncover, but after a long day of work and responsibilities, you don't have any time or power to discover anything.

But wait, you now have the resources to largely automate the plant watering, so you might have some time to experiment with livestock. It eats grass, which there is plenty of. It'll be easy. However, just when as think you have things figured out, the winter hits, and you slowly start to realize your hay reserves will not last til spring. Shit! What would Marnie say about how I treat my animals? This is just too much...
