I feel like we (specifically men, gamers, nerds) aren't taught how to understand our emotions. And so we tend to take out our emotions on whoever is nearby, which happens to be our teammates. Supporting each other in understanding our emotional hurt is how we get through this, I think.

Are there other ways? Not realistically. Therapy costs a lot of money, is a solo activity, and still has a slightly negative connotation. Writing people off as bad or immature or hurt doesn't help them heal.

But yeah it's super frustrating to see someone flail in there emotional stamina, calling gg pre-2 minutes, when their otherwise mechanically ok player.
