On a more serious note, why not try and find something you enjoy doing that helps relieve stress? Do you lift weights? Jog? Masturbate? Any of those could probably help you relieve stress. If you have a bad game, just go for a short jog or lift a few weights to take your mind off it and relax. Or put a stress ball near your computer and squeeze it really hard when youre mad, like this rahhhh! Basically, just take a break and do something else for a little while to help you calm down. Good luck. Post pictures if you break anything  | ||

Also I just realized, I haven't watched porn in about 2 weeks....lol Is there any way I can stop this feeling from coming again and again? I can get these "dark side" urges at least 5 times a day(can't mastruabate 5 times a day either) | ||

I try to cut the corners and don't place down enough cannons that I need and end up losing. That pisses me off because I KNEW what he was doing, I had suffecient time to prepare for it, yet I cut the corner too much and hit a bus | ||

You only should have won if you saw everything and reacted properly (ie throwing down cannons). | ||

This applies to me, I only get mad if I lose a game that I thought I had won or close to winning. When I get really angry I take of my headset and throw it really hard in my bed (which is right behind my chair). | ||

What kind of anger are we talking about here though? Like serious anger? I can understand getting a bit annoyed with friends let's say who offrace and cheese like mad, that's all in good fun. But real anger though? It seems like you are taking the game too seriously. | ||

Some people have a tendency to get violent when they get angry. More evolved people do that very seldom... | ||

if you lost a game because you faced a stronger opponent and he rolled you, just realise that he IS a better player and better players usually beat weaker ones. theres no shame in losing to someone that is better than you. i think you are putting too much value in this game. its just for fun, if you lose its not a big deal. theres always more games later on and time to improve your game, you need to start having fun playing this game and not being dependant on winning it | ||

In my opinion, a 'should have won' situation is one where you have a confidence level that it was your game at least as strong as: I've been in this exact situation before and dealt with it np on multiple occasions, and this guy is no better than those other opponents. It wasn't the same situation if you trying out crap like cutting in order to get better. | ||

I should have won->I tried to take a more clear advantage and not overcannon myself->I lost and got pissed at myself for losing by not having enough cannons | ||

Tonight was expensive but this is why I got all the points. To buy series vs top level players. And I scored a few wins vs them so I'm proud of myself there. When you look at it this way, a mistake which cost you points like the one you described here shouldn't bother you as much (I realize it isn't necessarily points that you are worrying about, but this mindset could allow for less of a mental blow when you lose due to mistakes) | ||

Something about chemicals being created while exercising that helps relieve stress, I believe. As far as trying to stop feeling that way as often, just do what you would do to block out bad thoughts of other types. I know when I start to think negatively I try to avoid doing so - think about something that makes you happy. Maybe if you want to keep it starcraft related, watch some old reps of yourself or other people that you loved. Or watch a VOD. Or read tlnet and all the hilarious stuff on here  | ||
