This is going to sound stupid and immature, because it is. How do I learn to be less hard on myself in general? Oddly enough, it's rare that I experience this else where but video games make me sad that I'm not as good as I thought I was in them lol. If I fail and try again, I just get pissed, angry that I couldn't figure it out the first time, or first FEW times. And it wasn't alway like this either, I wasn't this irritated and just genuinely sad at failure. I didn't always default to irritability and anger, I used to be easier with myself and things were easier in turn. How do I learn to forgive myself again in general and give myself more room for error when learning things in life? It makes everything much harder, and longer than it seems (or needs to be). I just can't accept failure is how you learn because it hurts my fragile ego too much. I want to learn to love challenge and grit again like I did before, but also accept failure and defeat as gracefully as I did, but that's at odds with my immature baby ego that sticks its ugly head out sometimes. Genuinely, how do I cope?
fail more and fail faster. be like a samurai and disregard your own perfectionism and seek only death
>>33742409>video games make me sad that I'm not as good as I thoughtThat's because it is a race to the bottom. There are many millions of basement-dwelling, perpetually-online, subhumans morons competing in that space. You might think you're the bull-goose subhuman moron but reality quickly sets in when there is a gifted-at-being-a- subhuman-moron far "better" than you. Try competing in the space of going outside and talking to people and wala! you will find the experience far more fulfilling.
>>33742546Yes I experience it with online gaming but I come across it far more in solo gaming. Specifically with strat type games.
>>33742546I won't read guy is that you?
>>33742546What about the people who are so good that they play professionally and win a shit ton of cash?
>>33742409Your failure is directly linked to other things going on in your life. Video games are reminding you of these failures, as you are trying to escape in this pleasure only for it to rear itself again. You can escape, hence the frustration.I’d recommend playing the video game of life. Video games make me feel like I’m plugged into a dialysis machine. Unless you work 40+ hours, you have no reason to “unwind”.
