@HappyHero Nice to have you here.
Something off-topic. Sometimes when I am bored I play a few games online, very short matches. No actual money involved. Now I played with a group of Turkish people and let’s just say they weren’t too nice.
It gave me flashbacks to my highschool years where I had very similar problems. It was fascinating to observe how similar this feeling lurking inside me now was similar to back then.
But I noticed I didn’t become emotional like in my highschool years.
They were like a bunch of kids provoking me and trying to humiliate me.
But I didn’t let them provoke me and therefore they couldn’t humiliate me.
Actually, I was more like “The creators of this game built in the possibility to send gifts to your enemy to taunt them. This way, if someone let himself get carried away, he would get emotional and start to make mistake and then he’d lose. Also, the creators of this game know about this and support it and profit from it. Interesting.” Pretty analytical actually.
In the end I lost, but I don’t give a damn about winning or losing, it is just a game I play from time to time and nothing more.
I think EoG contributed partly to this because you can’t let yourself get emotional when facing competition. But it also stems from my extensive introspective and being more like my true self.
