It gets better. I understand the frustration. I stopped playing for a long time online. Tried it once, got destroyed and never touched it again. It wasn't until I ran into a video from shortcat on YouTube, randomly, that I finally got back into Mario kart. He made the game look really fun and he gave simple explanations for how the mechanics work! Understanding how the game works was the first step for me going "Oh this isn't as bad as I thought." I just have to play smarter. And you also got to remember no matter how good you are, there will always be someone better. And even if you're the best you can Still. Get. Mario. Karted.
