    I haven’t competed since the last time a high school phys. ed. teacher made me, and I never really cared if I won or lost. I guess I’m on a no salt diet.

    Every time I lose in online 1v1 games. I have Rejection sensitivity dysphoria and it’s probably what’s making me extremely salty on loss. I literally cannon bring myself to say ‘gg’ in most cases but I I’m mostly angry at myself. I avoid saying ‘gg’ only when I win either as I feel like like a hypocrite.

    Funnily enough, this doesn’t affect me in boardgames

      Not saying ‘good game’ when the game wasnt good is weird? I say it if I actually enjoyed the game. Win or lose.

        It’s been used as a gracious closer, kinda like a handshake in chess matches, for decades now.

        For me its just if someone (including myself) demonstrated spur-of-the-moment genius or creativity
