Serious talk; Raging problem I've had since forever.

[AromaniaFTW]

i rage all the time too
even in blockland!

i, too, sucked at video games very much when i was younger
back when everyone used to play COD4 i sucked the most and although now i'm better than most of my friends everyone thinks i'll suck by default at a new game

i have no idea how i avoid raging now but it seems like shooters/fighting games trigger it the most
it's probably your mood that sets your raging "threshold" the most.

I get damn upset when someones yells at me, punch, slap or kick me.

I usually punch fellow person.

I grew out of it. I used to rage and scream and beat the stuff out of my computer. I don't know what happened but at about age 18 or so I just got over it out of the blue it seems. I almost never get mad now and if I do it's like very mild.

I would never get physical with my rage, which is good.

Also it appears that the common consensus is for me to just avoid competitive games.

[KoopaScooper]

What I'd try to do is rationalize it. Think about what I'm doing from a third-person perspective and try and make adjustments as per necessary. If you still get overly frustrated, remember that it's only a game and you're probably at a different skill level than other people.

ive never been competitive about video games that much, i mean when i was a kid i was just as competitive as every other kid with everything. but if im playing like a game and i cant beat it then im just all "well this is gay" and turn it off because then its just boring.

[Zloff]

I am usually stoic and always in-control of my emotions, but video games break me every time-- whether it be multiplayer or singleplayer :(

if I get too pissed I usually just shut off whatever I'm playing and go shoot stuff irl or run

[Destroyer]

I have that problem, but not with video games. I'm really bad when it comes to driving.

I get pissed off at other drivers very easily and use my horn often. If a driver does something to make me mad I will honk, tailgate them, flip them off, or any combination of those. If people are tailgating me when I'm already going a decent speed I will purposely slow down and match speed with other cars to keep them behind me. I've even yelled at certain people.

It just makes me mad when I drive well and other people act like idiots behind the wheel.

You're not the only one

[JPSC]

I don't rage on competitive games, but hell, I get addicted to them. I think that's even worse.

[Dante77]

i use one of those old bigass monitors because i feel like if i had a flatscreen one i would be able to punch through it. besides i already broke the monitor im using but it got repaired. (i used to punch it and spit on it).

now i dont do it, but its hard to control my impulses

[Camera]

I always play unconventionally when it comes to competitive games, it makes them more fun 

[devildogelite]

To be fair when I saw this thread and saw it was you pandan I was gonna be a richard. But since you've came back whenever I've seen you around you seem like a pretty cool guy.

Back on topic. When you get mad about things I find it best to just step away from it. I end up getting into huge arguments with people because I just keep going. I keep getting angrier, mostly due to just arguing. It really helps when I just step back and try not to think about it. Even when I'm doing something and start getting pissed about it if I step away and come back later I feel so much better.

My brother quits when i am beating him by 1 point and there is 15+ minutes left
