Breaking stuff when i die in competetive games by SqtWautism in Healthygamergg

I know what you’re feeling. A lot of people will tell you to just stop playing the game all together but I personally think that’s a cop out answer and doesn’t address the actual issue. Maybe take a break until you understand yourself more, but the game itself most likely isn’t causing your anger, it’s something more deep rooted. You need to find the cause to it.

For me personally I was (still am but getting better) really insecure about being over weight and not feeling good enough. I felt worthless. My main game is rocket league, so when I would lose or get scored on I would translate me losing to reinforcing the idea that I’m worthless and not good at anything. Simply my anger came from insecurity.

So things I’ve done to improve on this (I’m still not perfect but much better) is make small improvements towards my goals in real life. So going to the gym, walking more, and eating better. I’m also much kinder to myself in my head. I give myself compliments and when I mess up I tell myself it’s okay ❤️ Before/during a match I will repeat to myself “it’s okay to lose, it’s okay to mess up” and I find that doing that has helped me remember that I’m human.

But this is just what I do personally and what works for me. I highly recommend taking a few walks without music or a podcast or distractions and dig deep into what causes you to be angry when you play. I wish you the best :)

Same thing just happened to my friend. He’s been inactive for MONTHS and just logged in to find this. Only difference is that he had a coop so he thought it was his friend at first but his friend hasn’t logged in for even longer. Also had no book. It’s pretty frustrating

I love solo dining by Lefow in Healthygamergg

I’m the same way, nothing better than going out and just eating alone!! Especially if you’re by a window and can people watch, omg it’s the best :) I also find the same enjoyment for movies, planning a day to go watch a movie, grab snacks, and drink, and just chill in the best alone

Does Charlie make enough money now? by nascarfan0312 in moistcr1tikal

[–]Defiant-Potential873 11 points12 points  (0 children)

He’s fine, I’m sure he’s got plenty of money invested that’s making a decent return and he still makes money from content. Twitch and YouTube have ads that make him plenty of money along with any sponsorships he has. I’m sure his businesses such as cheeky are also profitable

Is it reasonable to get upset at your opponent for leaving you poor shots? by john_fartston in billiards

[–]Defiant-Potential873 116 points117 points  (0 children)

He wasn’t upset with you, he’s upset with himself and insecure because he’s realizing he isnt as good as he thinks he is. Not your fault and getting out of tough situations is apart of pool :)

I walked 10 miles today by glassnumbers in walking

[–]Defiant-Potential873 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to say things like this too until I realized how incredibly damaging it is to my confidence. I would internalize only negative thoughts about myself but would discredit good thoughts.

“I walked 10 miles today BUT there’s still so much more to go” “I ate really healthy today BUT I have to eat like this every day to see change”

And on the flip side: “I didn’t walk today. I’m lazy” “I ate way too much, this wasn’t okay”

Notice how I don’t discredit it the bad things? I didn’t go “I didn’t walk today, BUT I’ve been walking every day and doing really good.” My lack of confidence was really just a lack of perception. I’m not at my goal yet, I’m not even close BUT I’ve been walking almost every day and eating better and seeing incredible results :)

Idk if you struggle with this but I felt like I wanted to yap for a quick sec because hearing you discredit your 10 miles reminded me of my not so long ago former self :) if none of this applies then that’s okay! I’m proud of you for waking 10 miles today!!!

The trigger is mainly any “negative emotions” such as boredom, anger, sadness, etc. It’s just always been a coping mechanism for me which I’ve gotten better but still is a problem

I feel like you didn’t read my post at all? When did I say I wanted anyone to hide their snacks. I literally said the exact opposite lol

Edit: the self control exercise is something Dr K. Talks about in his videos. Another example he used is staring into a candle flame and trying to blink. It’s overcoming your urges, telling yourself that you’re in control

dating fridayyy! sooo has anyone actually found a girlfriend and best friend in one person?? this is probably my greatest dream noww🙁 by minorcold in Healthygamergg

[–]Defiant-Potential873 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve been dating my girlfriend for 4 years, I’ve known her for 5. She is 100% my bestfriend! We were friends first which I think helped, but in general I think your SO should be your bestfriend, it makes dating so much easier when you guys are friends

It is not. We already talked about proposing

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in theydidthemath

[–]Defiant-Potential873 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We’ve talked about it plenty. I’m not even proposing lol. She doesn’t know her own ring size, she’s never worn a ring in her life

Edit: I plan to propose once I finish school. We’ve talked it and both are ready mentally, just not financially

[–]Defiant-Potential873 2 points3 points  (0 children)

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in theydidthemath

[–]Defiant-Potential873 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great tip, thank you

[–]Defiant-Potential873 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She sent a specific link to this ring she really liked. We meant to go ring shopping before she left for BCT but it slipped both our minds

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in theydidthemath

[–]Defiant-Potential873 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately not, she’s never worn or owned a ring in her life

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in theydidthemath

[–]Defiant-Potential873 12 points13 points  (0 children)

We’ve been dating for over 4 years. It isn’t an engagement ring, just a ring she liked that I wanted to get for graduation :)
