  • I struggle with the same thing, I play online card games and it’s very easy to get super tilted since it’s heavily luck-based by nature. I don’t like feeling like I’ve wasted my time when I lose, I don’t like feeling like a failure when I lose because I consider myself a good player.

    I often wonder why it winds me up so much. It might be that I put too much value into my performance, or it might be because there aren’t a huge amount of things in my life that feel like they’re in my control - and when I lose in a game, it’s like “fuck, I can’t even do this” and I lash out.

    Point is, you’re not alone comrade. I’ve considered giving up these games altogether because they feel like poison for my mental health, but I believe that the anger is almost certainly coming from somewhere else. It’s not the games.
