Writing all of this assuming you rage at multiplayer.
You'll feel like a loser if you stop playing multiplayer videogames? I don't know what's dumber, you feeling like a loser for qutting time-killing activity, or you injuring yourself over it.
You know the answer yourself. Just stop. If you still want to rot, just play singleplayer. Atleast then you could actually get something meaningful like real positive emotions and opinions on things. You could even discuss something with other gamers beyond "x thing is too op, hope next patch fixes."

Games are specifically made to be fun, barring the woke and MTslop, so playing games without having fun is futile unless your ambition is to become a "professional" and get into e-sports to make money.

Yeah I am a bad rager too cause I know performance is linked strongly to IQ and when I get shit on in every competitive game I play it makes me feel worthless

>>84221323
You are either obsessed or trolling. Why is this board obssesed with IQ? Literally never hear anyone ever mention it anywhere else.

>>84221347
Because intelligence is properly the single most important intrinsic factor determining if you will successful at life, and if you're a superior human or not.

I rage too but I don't hit myself because I know I'm better than everyone else at whatever I'm playing. I just start wishing death upon any shitter that got lucky or used cheesy shit against me. My mind is so powerful they likely do die or at least face misfortune when I focus on it.

>>84221373
Yeah and IQ doesn't measure it. Plenty of autists with high IQs but failures at life. I'd bet my money that most professionals in scientific fields have average or slightly above average IQ.

>>84221227
I'm not that physical with my anger but I have had similar experiences. Honest to god you have
a. stop playing and
b. stop connecting self worth with video game skill.

Which is hard I know, because it feels like anything you do is connected with self worth. But you have to build up something else worth more to you than video games. If video games are your only outlet for self esteem every loss feels like a personal attack and deep cutting failure.

You sound genuinely retarded, like the medical developmental disorder. I have nothing constructive to offer you, because even if you were offered advice you wouldn't take it.

>>84221227
try learning to put your guard down while playing

when I started doing this I felt a bit more chill I still get angry

but the anger is different

>>84221227
Skill issue, OP.

use it as cognitive behavioral training so that you don't do that

just go into it allowing yourself to fail

but you wont follow any of this advice, as the other anon said.

I used to have bad raging problems with a couple vidyas. Used to break mice and keyboards once in a while. i havent done that in a long time, idk what changed, maybe because my mouse and keyboard oars are too expensive to be a retard. ill slap my desk sometimes and yell but thats about it

I have other outlets such as producing music and lifting weights but I still feel like complete shit if I play badly. I'm very very competitive, and it's just an extremely powerful feeling of humiliation that makes me want to jump off a bridge for a few seconds. I imagine other people laughing at me and feel like they're right to laugh at me. I don't want to hurt them, I want to hurt myself for being shit. So I bite my arms and grind my teeth until my face is literally red. When it gets really bad and realize what I'm doing I start crying in shame. This is not larp or exaggeration. The cause is probably deeper than video games but I can't talk to anyone about this IRL because I'm embarassed to talk about my rage stemming from vidya. The problem is that the bruises are starting to get pretty noticeable when I'm in short sleeves

even pro players have rage meltdowns

intense competitive games just do that to some people, its a bit like road rage. how to fix it? no clue. once you get in rage mode you dont have a reasonable thought in your head, maybe you have to recognize when youre about to rage and prepare yourself and it might make it easier to control

>>84221951
I feel like punching a table once is a pretty reasonable amount of rage especially in a pro context. Nobody probably laughed at him for reacting like that. If someone caught me raging like I do they'd think I'm insane and retarded. I kind of want to be caught so that I'd break down crying in front of that person and maybe learn to control myself from that experience

>>84221966
idk, youre going to have to start figuring out when youre about to rage, like when youre in some high intense situation and you feel very locked in you also have to realize at the same time something stupid can happen and it can make you flip out. I dont think it needs to be more complicated than that, its not some deep emotional damage thing, its just recognizing when its about to happen

Lmfao you're the fag that I get on my team and I ragebait all game.
Get a grip you're more emotional than a woman

obviously this guy wants a shorter game with more story

>>84221919
They're not laughing at you though, you're an anonymous account among millions. Do you remember every player you've beaten in every game you've played? Did you laugh at them all? Everything you're talking about is rooted in insecurity. I know because I'm the same. You're not "very very competitive", you're scared of losing because you think it makes you shit if you ever suffer a setback.
