I've just come off a very.. hard, grueling, angering day that has left me feeling flustered. It has made me realize that i have too many expectations on myself without realizing when i play... but realizing it didn't make the situation feel any better.
Today it climaxed and i was BM (T_T) to some people and was annoyed so much.. all because i expected to win each game (this was after i got C the day before, and beat some A/B players, even a B- protoss (which is alot for me!)).
Looking at the matchlist however... just shocked me.

Yup. This is what you get for playing australian time - pretty much exactly the same as Korean time.
Anyway, all that aside, i would like to ask how you guys cope with long losing streaks, or even just simple losses that you know you shouldn't have achieved. To be specific i mean what do you tell yourself, what rituals might you have, do you have a break every time etc?
Thanks in advance.

Cheer up, it could be worse. You could be  Zeus.

With a losing streak I take a break for half an hour or so, playing while you're angry or frustrated only makes you play worse and make silly mistakes which causes more anger.
As for losing games you don't think you should have, look over the replay and see why you lost. Look for the big mistakes and try to not do them next time or try to work on your weaker areas. I know i'm saying all the obvious stuff but it's true, it really is the way forward

Take a break. Sleep a while. You'll feel better.

My experience with losing is that it can break you or it can make you mentally stronger. Look at how it effected Jaedong in comparison to how it effected Savior for example.
"But it ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard you can get it and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!" - Rocky
Don't fear losing, just embrace it. Use it to improve yourself and toughen your resolve.

Thanks for the help .

Remember  Flash's gold rule:

Whenever I go into a bad slump and get really discouraged, I get on a different account and play some games as off race just for fun. If it's bad enough, I'll take a break for a few days.. no matter how much I want to play.
However, looking at your match list, you've played pretty much all Koreans.. I wouldn't be too discouraged if I were you.
