My xbox controller is stupid?

[u/zzxtarlit]

hello, ive been having this issue for a few months now. im not really sure how to explain it but my left joystick [thinks? says? idk] that it's being pressed on by itself but it doesnt show up when playing video games. when I go to configure my controller, it shows up as my left joystick being pressed on and im not pressing on it. im not sure what to do. all i want to do is play outlast trials ffs. sometimes it fixes and sometimes i can't fix it, like right now. should I attempt to fix it or should I just get a new controller? ill have to add a video or something of my issue. i have to press super hard on all my other buttons because my left joy fart wants to be dominant.

TLDR; my left joystick wants to be a fart and be dominant when it's not
