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?
Stop online multiplayer. They are designed to keep you in the rage loop. After a while you notice how bad they were for your health. Look for good coop games and learn basics about stoicism.
How are they designed for rage loops do you think?
Git good, don’t loose /s
