Are you a sore looser?

Question

NathanDavis · Accepted Answer

nope... I'm a good loser and a good winner too

growing up in sports taught me this... when I was a little kid, I would get incredibly frustrated and bitter with myself, when I could not do better myself... losing didn't matter much to me, but not doing my best would piss me off, lol

and then, that started to affect me more, because I would end up pushing others to do their best too, like I would... and then I started to dislike that about me, and others were not fond of it either, lmao|

so yeah, took me a couple of years, but I just beat that off my system, by the time I was a teen, that's when I did enjoy the most of the sports, because I definitely wasn't too harsh on myself, just loved the game and played it for the fun of it

I was still competitive and I am still competitive AF in sports... but now I love to challenge myself and test myself against better than me, win or lose, doesn't matter to me... I still get fun out of it

as it should be

Yea I guess according to the definition I would get mad but not at anyone nor would I say "they got lucky" unless it was like a video game or something, things along those lines of competition yea I would get mad but if it's something professional I wouldn't. re-state//background_color_rgba (0, 0, 0, 0), font_color_rgb (77, 77, 77), justifyLeft

Well... once Winston Churchill said that the way to victory is through defeat. I think that the concept of failure is relative. Unfortunately, we are not all born in equal conditions. It is easy to be a successful winner when you have a full and numerous family, good genes, you are from a first world country and you are absolutely healthy. And you try to succeed if you are up to your ears in shit... reading a book for these two is not the same thing. For the first it is only a matter of desire, for the second it is worth a titanic effort to get this book, learn to read and most importantly have the opportunity and time to do it... So I think that everyone has their own way and it is not appropriate to compare people. And in general, the winner really differs from the loser only in that he tried again.

Nah, I get back up, dust myself off and carry on like nothing had happened. Life has its speed-bumps, so you just have to deal with it.

Sonorous · Answer

Not in an immature sense. I won't deny, I have been saddened by certain losses if they're significant enough, which is reasonable. But I always remain civil so long as those around me do the same.

No, but I am critical so I can imagine people would think that of me during elections. Thing is I am criticizing this election the exact same way so it wasn't because Trump lost last time.

MicahRaine · Answer

As a child I was. I attached a lot of my personal value to whether or not I was "the best." It made me really athletic and intelligent, but it definitely wasn't healthy. Fortunately I got over that as soon as I moved away from home.

petitedollbabee · Answer

No, I always expect to lose at anything, so I take the loss easily. But am shocked if I win.

No, I am a good loser. I have had lots of practice.

WatchedPot · Answer

I'm a fair loser. Learn from it and move on. Maybe even pat the winner on the back and buy them a drink.
