How to not be salty?

I'm really having trouble here and I didn't know where to put this so fuck it.

First off, holy god damned snowflakes Batman, does Mortal Kombat piss me off. This game is the origin of my irritation. So much stupid shit in this fucking mess that I hate to love.

But could I keep this rage to MK? Lol nope. It carried over into other games; Assassin's Creed, Black Ops 2, shit, I've even been getting pissed playing MGR Revengeance. It's gotten so bad that I can't find any time to play 'zen' -- that is, not getting ready to throw my controller at the wall.

Now, I've been going through a lot of stress, trying to lose weight while going through exams that pretty much decide if I'll graduate, but I just need help here(and I really don't like asking for help). What do I do? I don't want to carry this shitty salt mentality into Injustice when I plan to play competitively(at least online) and contribute to the community, and it's gotten so difficult to sit down and enjoy a game.

Thanks ;_;

you can never have too much honey
Embrace the saltiness my good man use it to your advantage
Salty because you lost a game put that anger into getting better
liking to win isn't a bad thing

Every tends to get salty at one time or another but I tend to just look at it as a "there's always next time" type thing: No matter how badly I do, how much bull I lost to because of lag or what have you, I just think "on to the next game".

The few times I play online I will get salty because I KNOW there is a bunch of bullshit going on that would not fly offline. When I lose offline, I hardly ever get salty because I realize I just got out played. I'll get salty with friendly competition for fun but usually not in tournament.

Don't feel too bad. I rage on a daily basis (although it's not because I want to be seriously competitive, I just get frustrated when I fail). Then again.. I have twice as many losses as wins on MK online and I lag every single game.

If you get really mad, just take a break for 10 minutes and drink something. Once you start getting mad, you just end up doing worse and getting even more angry.

You can tell yourself that online means nothing, but until you truly understand that, you will be forever salty.
Don't take it seriously, because it doesn't take you seriously.

I don't understand what you are trying to do? You want to not get salty when you lose? Is that even possible? Someone please elaborate I don't get it?

I think RYX just wants to not be close to burning down the whole house through the sheer force of his fury.

RYX, I used to be like you once, I raged kind of hard during my days in COD4, WAW, MW2, and MW3, even in my early MK9 days. I don't know how I stopped, I think it's because I don't play MK as much as I used to.

The intervals between my MK9 sessions are commonly a day-to-five days apart, usually three days.

Only way I can avoid getting salty playing MK online is to play friends/people from TYM. For whatever the reason I don't get as annoyed with the BS that way. It also helps if you are talking with either the people you're playing with or just friends in a party or something.

As for getting salty in other games, I've never gotten super salty playing AC (probably because I just play the multiplayer for lulz) but with CoD, ANY CoD, by now you (and everyone) should realize that the games are broken beyond all hell and expect stupid shit to happen.

If you want to (almost) guarantee a win in CoD, play with a full team/most of a team. Don't go into a domination game expecting random teammates to help you/be competent.

I used to rage hardcore at AC when I was in clans and super competitive. Then I realized it's broken as hell like MK and I stopped raging again :p

First, if you plan on being the best you can possibly be, DON'T EVER STOP BEING SALTY.

Let me clarify: There are a few types of saltiness, but the main ones are

1. Salty at your own performance or salty about losing - totally acceptable, its what drives the competitive nature and desire to improve

2. Salty at your opponents - not really acceptable. They're only doing what YOU were trying to do: win

3. Salty at online play - lag is the nature of the online beast. Remember it's not a pure environment and just sigh when you know crap happened that shouldn't happen.


Next, remember this: There are some things, some experiences, you can never un-learn.

Let me give you 2 examples.

1. Softball - My experiences as a player, from a beginner in the game to a highly competitive player are vast. Learning to win meant being PISSED at my performance when we lost. More importantly, it meant that I really had to learn how to play. I had to learn to take advantage of EVERYTHING the other team gave me. I bat left handed... the team over-shifts to account for the stereotypical lefty pull hitter? I became a middle hitter and opposite field hitter. Runner on 2nd base? Hit behind him to make the throw to 3rd or the plate harder.

My point about softball is that when I play on a "fun" team with a lot of inexperienced players, I find myself doing things that only a more seasoned player would do... I just can't STOP doing the more experienced things.

2. Fighting games - I'm from an era where throwing was "forbidden". If you threw someone, it was an accident and you "gave it back". Times have changed... and so have I. My experience has taught me that if my opponent is going to give me free damage with a throw, then TAKE IT! I can't unlearn that... I can't stop thinking that way... even when a scrub does nothing but complain, say I'm cheating, etc. It's a mindset, and you can't unlearn that kind of thing.


Because of not being able to unlearn that mindset, I have a VERY difficult time playing games for "fun". Even non-competitive games like Castlevania, I find myself raging at when I die, LOL... this is because it's so hard coded in me to want to improve and to be better that if there is no other person to compete head to head with, I compete either with myself or with the game directly, LOL.

Embrace this... learn to control emotions...but if you want to improve...NEVER STOP BEING SALTY.

I have had to move three different times and make three different claims on my renter's insurance from that exact scenario...I have no idea how to fix this problem. I'm always salty...ALWAYS!
