Shhhh.... don't tell anybody. I was out of sc2 due to other work / chess / else issues for a while. I was trying to play zerg agian (I was mid masters and did acceptable in a few LANs before), but I was so frustrated, I was so far behind in the game that I didn't understand the playstyles going on.
So I switched to terran from zerg (because it always just looked so easy). I'll admit it was slightly harder than it looked at first, I hadn't played any terran really since BW and in WC3 I hated playing human, it was the only race that never felt quite right to me. But now I get to play terran, and I win all these games, and honestly even though my level is a lot lower than it was when I was playing zerg (I have made it up to high diamond now) I feel DIRTY when I win.
I honestly I feel like "ugh, I did so much shit wrong this game and I still get to win? WTF."
TL;DR:
I switched from zerg to terran, I feel just as bad about my TvZ wins as I did about my ZvT losses before.
P.S. Marines are really good.

Honestly, the first thing I did when I switched from Z to T waaaaaayyy back was just go all marines against my first opponent, a zerg. I wanted to rage at myself when I did it, but it felt sooooo good.

Playing Zerg was the reason why I stopped playing SC2.
No Joke.

If your opponent still had no idea what a Baneling was then he deserved to die to pure marines.

Oh he had plenty of banelings. And infestors.
This was in my way back in my Silver days, keep in mind.

Heh, I switched from terran to zerg and I love it. I think ZvT is my best match up at the moment (not saying much because I AM still in silver) and baneling landmines are the best thing ever. No one scans before moving out, no one puts on early pressure. I admit to knowing better than this and abusing it, I just drone up, expand and trade armies with him over and over again (much easier and faster for zerg). And I do it for the swarm.
Muahahahahaha!
Seriously though, I don't think there are enough terrans on ladder anymore, I seem to get a lot of protoss and zerg (my boyfriend made the joke that there were plenty, just not at my level - they were all in masters and grandmasters) but I tried to play terran a few days ago against my zerg friend who is of equal, if not slightly less skill than me ( I was so tired of ZvZ) and I forgot just how hard it was because it was so hotkey intensive and I have always been bad with hotkeys. Anyway, game ended in me floating 3k minerals, forgetting a starport for medivacs, lifting my barracks a second before stim completed and getting blue flame instead of siege mode by mistake. I was instantly rolled with zerglings, banelings and infestors. So, no thank you, I will go back to what I know best ^^ drones drones drones.
TL;DR Please keep playing terran! It only serves to make the swarm strive harder for victory!

If you're talking about my post it was because it was almost longer than the OP and he had a TL;DR, so I felt obliged to put one as well

Whenever I play a custom and race select Terran by mistake I 3rax marine-SCV allin them. It's so theraputic

The fact that this particular blog is right above this one says alot about TL
I guess if no race is happy then Blizzard is doing their job 
No shame in playing as Terran, just remember that there is shame in losing as Terran.

It's funny. I actually believe this and it's helped my play and attitude a ton.

That it's shameful to lose as terran. I believe that terran is very strong, so when I lose it's my fault and I never blame "imbalance" since I think my race has everything I need to win.

I have the exact opposite situation. Every time I lose more than 5 games in a row, i offrace protoss/zerg (high masters) and proceed to win 80-90% of my ZvT and PvT games (granted i barely win in any other matchups), which makes me rage even more. It's quite therapeutic though.
