I sometimes have the opposite problem, if a game doesn't immediately inundate me with a slew of options and needless complexity I get bored and wander off on the presumption the game wont keep my interest much longer anyway with its simplicity. Sometimes I love a more brain-dead experience, but in general I prefer something that makes me think.
That said typically speaking to get through that uncertain phase the best thing I find is just to keep going and stick with it. In the case of a simple game I keep going and begin to understand and appreciate the underlying mechanics. For a more complex game you keep going and eventually come to an understand of how everything works.
Patience. Patience is key.
I am totally this way.
I love games like Ogre Battle 64 and Oblivion, but I remember seeing my younger brother play this game on PS2 which looked like a typical RTS based in shogun-era China, and it had SOOOOOOOOO many options.
I love being able to change my unit's equipment, build, stats, etc.
But deciding how my economy runs, the morale of my units, and how much money certain businesses get me... that starts getting into the "can't you fucking people DO ANYTHING BY YOURSELF?!?!?!?!"

Does anyone have advice on how to slowly get myself to play games like these? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Baby steps dude.
Do every tutorial, and only do as much as you know how to do.
Blizzard games have a very easy learning curve, especially Star Craft games.
If you're still having trouble, check out an online tutorial or guide.
If none of that helps, why are you playing these games anyways?
