DEV TEST

I agree with you, but...
"I deserve not to have my inferiority rubbed in my face."

...You may wish to stop publicly calling yourself a stepping stone... just a thought. I know you're not that bad and self-esteem does wonders, you'll find.
Just... cheer up... please?

Well, I'm not really good, though. It's not a matter of being sad. But if I keep on going on trying to become good, trying to become a competitive force, only to be defeated over and over... THAT'S what will make me sad.

I just want to play the game. If my role is to be defeated by others on their own quest to greatness, then so be it.

Yes. Roles. Everyone must have roles.
What's my role?

I have no idea, I don't know you well enough to say. And things aren't so cut and dry. Surely you can tell; I'm just enacting an emotional defense mechanism. It's easier to deal with infuriating losses if I was never supposed to win to begin with. Less rage, less potentially broken walls/controllers.

I can, but I don't see why you're doing so. If you get angry, and I occasionally do, you can just stop for a while... but before that, try having more... fun, I guess. What else would you be playing for?
Why place so much value on becoming a 'competitive force' if that pressure is what is keeping you back, making you angry, and making you write statuses like the past few?

I'm absolutely certain you'd have more success if you we're just positive about it.

Teabagging ain't shit. Once you realize this, taunting, overkilling, all that shit doesn't mean anything. All that matters is the objective, winning.

Yo TiZ, How My Nuts Taste?

Instead of seeing winning as the objective, you should think "Perhaps I may not win, but damn it I will not make it easy for you!" You'd be surprised at what you're capable of with that type of mindset. :p

They Probably Salty With All Your Tears Running Down Them.

I'm not sure I'd recommend that. What happens if you we're to lose badly, you haven't made it difficult for them and we're straight back to being angry.

Reading the word depression lower down, I really recommend just lowering the pressure a bit. No depression is caused by anything as trivial as a game, so perhaps it would be best to try and be less competitive until you're past whatever is troubling you.

"Try having more fun." Well, I mean... is there some hidden "fun" button in the human psyche that causes all concerns to turn off and only enjoyment to exist? No, there isn't. I use the character I like playing instead of a good character, and I always use CaS. So, like... what else is there to *do*?

Swallow.

What there is to do, is to do something that doesn't cause this. Soulcalibur or not.
You need to relieve stress, and this current goal of yours clearly isn't doing that for you...

As I said, perhaps it would be best to try and be less competitive until you're past whatever is troubling you.

"Why place so much value on being a competitive force?" I'm trying not to. I'm trying to stop being competitive, for precisely those reasons. But even so, I still don't enjoy losing. It's slowly bothering me less and less, but it's not fun. There's still that lingering reminder, "you're not good enough."

"All that matters is the objective, winning." And that is not a healthy mindset for me to have. When I go into a match and I lose, I didn't meet my objective. I failed. So I have to ask myself, why did I fail? I'm not good at answering that question. I always come up with answers that just make me mad. So it's best that I never put myself in a situation to do that.

Answers like what?
