    We all hate losing but it is vital for growth. But it can get annoying. Is there anything specifically you hate losing at? Does anyone make you lose? Do you get mad when you lose?

    I hate losing confidence in myself.

    I normally consider myself a rather confident guy, I like the way I like, I feel like I'm a little more intelligent than most, and I'm pretty nice.
    It takes a lot to put me down, but generally when it happens, I'm the one to end up doing it, and it's an utterly horrid feeling to going from being on top of the world one minute, to feeling at the bottom the next.

    ^Most of this.

    But, I'm also pretty vengeful about losing. Sometimes it works out perfectly. But most other times, I end up digger my hole deeper.

    Losing? I'll just say this. No one should ever play Mario Party with me. EVER.

    You suck!


    Losing doesn't have to be in the context of a game. It could be anything; a failed test, a bad decision or a poorly done project.
    When we do lose, it is most important for us to find out why we lost and what can we do better to succeed the next time.

    I am WAY too competitive at whatever I play. That's part of the reason I don't play very many games anymore. Oddly enough, I can usually control myself when I'm bowling but that's about all.

    Reason why i don't play games much is a that I rage at people and if I played a game at your guy's homes...Suspect on buying a new controller afterward. I don't enjoy losing but I can't win at everything. Failure to me is unacceptable. I take my work very serious. Bit of a Overachiever.

    I actually don't mind losing so long as the players of the game are all good sports. I'll gladly accept defeat against an opponent who is fun to play with. But people who gloat, or tease I have no respect for.

    The main thing I hate losing to is school, well technically it's more failure but ja, you get the idea

    win or lose, there's always next time. I learn more losing than winning. So if I win that means I've got nothing new to learn.
