Search Results: i get sore

Both are rather obnoxious and unnecessary, but one is slightly even worse than the other.

You could think of both good arguments for why both is worse off than the other.

Sore loser- The sore winner at least earned the right to gloat over their victory by performing well enough to win, whereas the sore loser is just being negative.

Sore winner- A sore winner is worse for a community dedicated to a certain activity (sports, video games, acting, filmmaking, drawing, art, cooking, etc). A sore loser can be laughed at and written off and ignored, but if someone new to a certain activity trying to get good constantly keeps getting made fun of by sore winners, it can completely turn them off of the community.

It also depends on which one you've delt with the most... if you're a loser most of the time, then you've probably dealt with sore winners more. If you're a winner most of the time, then you've probably dealt with sore losers more.

I personally am MUCH more affiliated with losing rather than winning in anything ever, so I rarely deal with sore losers who are angry because they lost to me... I deal most often with sore winners who mock me because they beat me so many times. So I therefore personally find sore winners worse.

But it varies from person to person, and I can't wait to see the poll results and your comments as to why you think a sore loser or a sore winner is worse!

Obviously, both are very bad things. We all probably have done them before at some point in our lives... whether it was as a child when you were first learning how to act when winning, or how to accept a loss, or whether you have anger problems and get angry when losing on a daily basis, or whether you feel a bit too much pride in winning, etc... we all have acted this way at some point. It's wrong, and shows bad sportsmanship... especially if it's in a professional setting. But not unnatural.

But either ways, one kind of person does this type of stuff on a usual basis. It's okay to feel pride in winning, or feel angry after losing, but even then, just keep it to yourself. Gloating in the opponent's face or insulting them is only being a toxic person. The kind of person that does this is: immature, no common sense, they can't control themselves, maybe they're insecure, they're bad at social interactions, etc.

Overall, both gloating over a victory, and getting salty over a loss are about equally bad. It's like black and white, yin and yang, gold and silver, cold and hot, earth vs. wind, etc... they're opposites, but equal opposites. But one is slightly better or slightly worse than the other.

I'd definitely say that gloating over a victory is worse.

When one gets salty when they lose, the opponent is just simply more likely to write them off as a sore loser, ignore them, and just keep doing whatever they're doing.

However, when one gloats when they win, the opponent will probably get upset, doubt themself, and feel less inclined to continue. Plus, winning is already enough... yet they feel the need to rub it in the opponent's face. At least the salty loser has no reason to brag. The winner who gloats does, as they already won. By gloating, they're just pushing it.
