But if i dare to do a ladder match i feel so intense feeling like i am playing against a god of rts and i start to become paranoid so much about what hes going to do when i am not scouting. i have no clue how to really remove my fear in ladder matches ;s . Oh my friends are just like this too which is a real problem for me  They don't want to play starcraft, warcraft 3 or starcraft 2 against other people at all, not on the internet and not on lan because they don't want to loose. They just want to play against the computer. The solution is actually simple I just cannot convince them to give it a shot. The solution is as in so many other situations to play a lot. You still get mad from loosing certain games ofcourse no matter how good you are, I think thats healthy. But the more games you play the less you start to "care" about loosing. Its just something natural that happens and you can focus on calmly figuring out why. | ||

this even can happen when you thought you had the game or you might be on par but your opponent had the better playstyle however mostly skill decides so you shouldnt be too angry when loosing | ||

Two months later I re-bought WC3 again and have since learned to not get that angry. Don’t get me wrong, I still get annoyed right after a loss but now that only lasts for maybe 15 seconds tops. I get up grab a glass of water and by the time I get back to the computer I’ve already completely forgotten about the loss. The funny thing is the wins are never satisfying enough, I can win 3 in a row and I still want more. But one loss wipes out all my wins for the day. I think that’s just the way the human brain is wired, we remember the bad much better then the good. The last advice that helps is always type “GG” and then F10-S. Even if you are steaming mad because you fell for some lame cheese strategy, the fact you were able to maintain game etiquette will make you immediately feel better. | ||

Next time you're playing a game where you are sure to win, try your hardest to lose. Might put everything in perspective. I just wanted to quote this because this is really good advice. | ||

I'm a really calm person but pretty competitive. I hardly ever rage. I have some really bad anxiety problems irl and it seems to transfer over to some games. just thinking about laddering i will get physically nauseous and stressed out. Getting nauseous at the start of every game is just not a good feeling.. once im settled into the game its not so bad, but it picks right back up at or near the end of a match. Sc2 Ladder, havent even played my placement matches, I play with friends and its not as bad WoW Pug Raids and Arena. Raids with my guild i have no problems. BG's and LFD are also no problem. But Pug raids and doing arena give me so much anxiety i just avoid them altogether much like sc2 ladder. and before LFD i would avoid pug heriocs. FPS I can play with no problems... but this is also the genre im best at so i have a lot of faith in my abilities I know some of this maybe silly to others. it's even silly to me. so im on a mission to find out how to conquer my sc2 anxiety! and use that experience to help overcome other anxiety related issues. we'll see.. | ||

There are plenty of other things that you can do to release the energy than be angry. :x I try to watch something; anything that makes me forget about it for a while. Then talk to my friends about how silly that cheese was or something. | ||

I disagree, I think the reason I take SC losses harder is first of all, it's longer. At any time in an FPS either me or my opponent can just pop eachother in the head. SC games can be quite long and when you're losing you just have to watch all your units explode while you're going nonono. In an FPS sometime's you'll die and just be like hmm nice shot or the guy gets a lucky spray/spam. in SC your loss directly stems from a series or maybe just one choice that you made that was just flat out wrong. Its just more mentally draining. | ||

I'm pretty crap but it's those sort of things that piss me off the most. If Zerg doesn't get buffed soon I think I might switch races, it's bad for my health the amount of anger I gain from losing to ludicrous shit. | ||

I mean I try to take a lesson away from each loss but I just get so damn mad and it's stressful. Be really careful with that. You dont wanna end up being like Idra. Im not kidding. | ||
