EDIT: Thank you all so much for your thoughtful input. It means so much to me.
Hi, all. I’m looking to change my nasty tendency to be a sore loser, particularly when playing games. I tend to personalize losses that are of no consequence. When the game starts to shift against me, I often stop trying as hard because it feels hopeless. My partner is much more proficient at board games than I am, and I don’t want this toxic trait of mine to make games less fun for us. What are some things you all tried to lessen this train of thought, if you’ve experienced it?
If it won’t bother you in six months, its not worth getting bothered about.
I am still this way a bit. Really it boils down to perspective.
For me I broke it down like this
-
You get angry about losing because it makes you feel incompetent
-
I am allowed to enjoy things casually, I don’t have to excel. I can excel at things that actually matter and have real world consequences, like work
-
There are a million factors that can feed into a loss; luck being one of them
-
This is a worthwhile struggle. Realizing you want to change your perspective is a great start.
