You need to find an alternative method to dealing with stress. The reason why you get angry is because it is how you have learned to adapt with stressful problems. I think you just need to look @ competition from a different view though.

Imo, you should take a break from starcraft/badminton/competitive things for a bit. Whenever I start to see that I am getting angry with starcraft, I take a break, and look @ starcraft from a rational view. It's just a game, when I lose it's simply b/c the other person did better, no reason to get annoyed with it, it's good because I learn from mistakes, etc..

Just don't take things too seriously, that's what I find works the best. When you take things like starcraft and badminton etc. too seriously, it's not fun anymore and becomes work I find.

Hope that helped.

Btw, do you have mouse acceleration on? I have now asked you maybe 3 times @ least and still no response.

No mouse acceleration on anymore. It's been off for like a month now
How should I take a different look at competition? My viewpoint is that everyone else is inferior and so I shouldn't lose to inferior people

Also if i take a break from competition, my brain gets like slush. Also you need to take shit seriously if you intend on going somewhere in life

You need to take school and work seriously, not badminton and broodwar

Yeah this. Work/school will make a big difference in your life but badminton and broodwar are just for fun. It doesn't mean you can't take broodwar seriously, but getting mad every time you lose is just irrational. It's ok to get annoyed and e-rage a bit every so often, who doesn't. Though always getting mad when you lose is kind of inappropriate.

You mentioned that "you need to take shit seriously if you intend on going somewhere in life", but you can't take every single thing seriously or else you will just be disappointed in everything (+ you will have like no friends lol). Just relax, don't worry about it, nobody is perfect, just keep playing sc and you will improve steadily so just chill out.
