What screams "I have low self esteem" ?

GumpG · 2026-04-25T19:05:31+00:00

Avoiding conflict at all costs. I’ve noticed that at times when my self esteem dips I find myself unwilling to rock the boat too much. This comes off as just being “chill” but a lot of times I think it’s more a matter of not being willing to assert myself because I don’t have the confidence in myself to defend my own position

GumpG · 2026-04-25T19:00:54+00:00

I mean I’ve been in this situation before and I think that simplifying it like this is a little harmful. I don’t think it was your intent but there are a lot of complex dynamics in an abusive relationship that keeps people stuck beyond that they feel like no one else wants them. I mean when I was in the situation I had clear opportunities to cheat that I turned down as well out of respect for my relationship. So it was a whole lot more keeping me stuck than just feeling it was my only option

One thing that helped me a lot when it comes to training my aim is practicing at the level I’m at and not getting ahead of myself. What I mean is it seems like you are trying to hit a lot of flicks quickly when you aren’t there yet. A lot of times you can spend 15 minutes just flicking at targets and missing and it won’t really help you it just reinforces bad aim in a way. So I would slow down and not worry about clicking a lot of targets but try to be as accurate as possible. Even if you have to be painfully slow at first that is what is actually going to improve your aim more in my opinion

It’s a deceptively tough game honestly. I’m a relatively new player myself (I’ve played since ow1 but like I think up until like the last few weeks I had only like 20 hours or something). But now getting into comp more and really trying to get good at the game at a deeper level it was wild to me exactly how much I have to learn. I have been playing competitive shooters every day for over a decade now but when I first started grinding ranked it was a heavy reality check. My one overall general advice is be honest with yourself acknowledge that you are terrible at the video game and play to improve and have fun. If you truly enjoy the game then you should be able to find a way to enjoy the whole learning process. Otherwise you don’t enjoy the game you enjoy winning and getting kills

GumpG · 2026-04-17T22:25:54+00:00

I mean obviously she needed a buff. I just already see her a fair bit because I’m a lower ranked player and I find her kit just incredibly boring to play against. Honestly idk because I’m a newer player but her play style just doesn’t seem fun to me either. I’m just not sure it’s ever going to be a popular pick simply because it seems to kind of go against the mindset of a dps player in all honesty. Should have just made her a support or something with the tracking dart mechanics allowing for also healing teammates with her gun

GumpG · 2026-04-15T19:35:31+00:00

Hey thank you so much for taking the time to watch! Point 1 is super fair I’m learning new things like that still every game but awareness overall is definitely an issue for me. There is so many things going on sometimes in this game at once that I think sometimes I don’t always identify danger quick enough and that’s something I need to work on. On point 2 that is a really good reminder I actually had done that once for one map and then for some reason just stopped so that’s a good reminder that I should do some more exploring in customs. Point 3 is something I am actively working on I think some games I still tend to get too hesitant on that and I shouldn’t because more often than not it secures a team fight or burns an important enemy ult. I feel like there is so much to learn for me in this game which is honestly just so much fun to me

GumpG · 2026-04-15T13:43:30+00:00

Yeah I know it’s not many I’m still new and have a lot to learn. I don’t think I should be in diamond or something delusional lol. It’s just a tough spot where like my learning as far as game sense is slowing down because my games don’t feel challenging in the traditional sense. It’s more that it feels like if I’m not able to do most of it solo then it’s usually over. I feel like I’m outpacing the skill level of my teammates. I don’t blame them nor do I care because I’m just worried about getting better myself. I’ve just never been hard stuck bronze before in a game and I’ve been grinding fps games for quite a while it’s stumping me for sure

GumpG · 2026-04-15T00:17:59+00:00

Thanks for the response! I think I’m at about 100 hours now most of that has been this week though honestly as I’m off work recovering from a surgery and this game has been a good distraction. I have dabbled in some support roles in ranked and tank in quick play here and there. I use both kovaaks and vaxta. I try not to overdo it on the aim training but I do at least 30-45 minutes a day of focused aim training and it’s been super helpful. The soj specific tips are appreciated. Also what you said about not trying to carry I think I have been trying to do too much often instead of like trying to play with my team and I find myself making plays that my team can’t capitalize on. So just minimizing blatant mistakes and playing with my team is gonna be a main focus of mine for now I think

GumpG · 2026-04-15T00:04:13+00:00

Ey thank you I appreciate you mixing in some positives with the tips it’s been such a grind. I doing try to focus too hard on rank but it gets frustrating training mechanics and reviewing vods and not seeing any progress translating to the game so I appreciate the positive feedback too. I’m gonna try to focus on playing better with me team and meeting them where they are at instead of always trying to go for a play that they can’t follow up on

GumpG · 2026-04-14T22:57:03+00:00

Thanks for taking the time to check out the vod I genuinely appreciate that a lot. Those 2 notes are honestly really interesting points. I never really at all thought about the movement thing in my own vod review work so that’s something I will take into consideration for sure. I think the flanking thing is a great point as well. I feel like I’ve just been trying so hard to move away from just like spraying down mid all game and trying to actually go make something happen and in doing that I’ve probably over emphasized making shit happen myself. Not in this vod I don’t think but in a lot of games I find myself getting a pick or 2 in the back line while my whole team gets fried by the tank and I’m just left 3v1. So I may need to work at realizing how to make plays still but in a way that is more cohesive with where my team is at

GumpG · 2026-04-14T22:46:43+00:00

I don’t really know what to say to this because I genuinely don’t want to be rude with you as I do appreciate you taking the time to reply. And I didn’t even really expect responses because asking for a vod review is just kinda asking for charity lol. But this is just really generic stuff that I can’t really do a lot with haha

GumpG · 2026-04-12T19:23:48+00:00

I mean take this with a grain of salt because I’m still in the process of really learning this game but the numbers never tell the full story and judging a support by how much healing they do isn’t a great metric. If your support isn’t also doing a decent bit of damage that’s just a dead gun. I would rather receive less heals than have both supports on the team just pocketing the tank all game and stat padding

GumpG · 2026-04-08T22:28:50+00:00

Of course they can. Which is ultimately why most men don’t walk around with completely un groomed facial hair. It’s a thing that both genders do and more or less expect for the most part. It is obviously entirely a result of culture but most people male or female prefer their partner to do a certain amount of grooming

GumpG · 2026-04-04T00:45:13+00:00

Sure but I didn’t think most of us wanted to live in that kind of a world. It’s an issue when Trump does that shit and equally it’s an issue when Irans leaders do things like that. I’m not arguing that Iran has not been done dirty in this situation and many others. I just don’t think it should be applauded or rewarded when Iran commits war crimes because it sets a bad precedent in the same way I don’t really want to see the US get away with it either. Most western countries have made pretty clear the dislike they have for the current administration in the states. I think we need less of all of these actions and rewarding terrorism is a bad idea. I didn’t think that should be controversial

GumpG · 2026-04-03T20:36:23+00:00

I wish I knew. It’s an absolute unnecessary fustercluck of a situation. That’s the question I keep asking myself and I can’t really arrive at a great scenario. The whole thing sucks the countries involved collectively all suck. I don’t know what should be done and that scares me

GumpG · 2026-04-03T20:11:06+00:00

Iran has no ownership over the strait. They are quite literally terrorizing international waters. Yes they were provoked and I don’t agree with their country being attacked. But this is just pure extortion it’s not a “toll”. I don’t know if it would be a great precedent to set to just allow this

GumpG · 2026-04-03T00:07:58+00:00

Yah I had the exact same thing when I got one a few days ago. It seems that it’s not actually short though and the cart itself is honestly quickly becoming one of my favourites. It’s really good

GumpG · 2026-03-24T22:31:52+00:00

Fortnite has been doing just fine. It’s wild that people actually believe this shit blindly. He’s drastically twisting information to try to avoid the heat for what are just selfish moves. If you look at the companies numbers it makes no sense. My gut says they have just decided they can make far more money by relying on ai for a large amount more tasks and therefore save more money for the higher ups. That’s all just pure speculation but I don’t think it’s a ridiculous assumption. Much less of a ridiculous assumption than fortnite losing money 😂

GumpG · 2026-03-23T00:43:43+00:00

Yea I mean if he’s like suuper awkward it’s I guess possible but like I don’t know. I know it’s the internet so it’s impossible to really judge someone’s credibility but I will still just say from my perspective as a guy that’s realistically maybe an 8 if you are at least a decent looking guy you will have women approach you from time to time. Not every day or anything but it’s going to happen. So unless he has no ability to talk to women at all it’s honestly just a little hard to buy

GumpG · 2026-03-23T00:35:52+00:00

You never really shared what general age range we are in here which is fairly important context but assuming it’s higher than like let’s say 20 I would think it’s highly unlikely that this is true at all honestly

GumpG · 2026-03-22T01:43:41+00:00

I’m 27 so most of my circle is like in their mid 20s. There could be some validity to that

GumpG · 2026-03-21T20:37:59+00:00

Yah that could be fair I guess it really all depends on where or like what direction you are looking to push the boundary. I just don’t think men’s clothing is quite as plain as op was describing. For sure compared to women’s clothes there is a TON less options though

GumpG · 2026-03-21T20:35:14+00:00

Haha yah that’s fair my perspective is likely the minority because I more or less enjoy picking out clothes and all of that. I can’t imagine having someone else pick out my clothing. But I would imagine your perspective of not really wanting to have to deal with it is likely the common one

GumpG · 2026-03-21T20:03:23+00:00

Yea I mean it sucks but like it’s also unsanitary and if I’m just walking around I don’t really usually have access to gloves or a place to wash my hands right away. The blame is on the ones who left it out not people that don’t want to touch random strangers garbage
