5 Signs You Are Too Competitive
Disclaimer: I apologize for the quality of this video, I have no interest in spending my time editing them with intros or graphics or investing money into proper audio or video capture. Everything is done in one take too and yes, my voice isn’t the most charismatic. I just do these for fun and hope you have fun watching my videos too if you’re insane enough to do so. XD
WHY ARE ALL THE INTERESTING TOPICS IN VIDEOS. -Yoink!-.

TL;DW (too long, didn’t watch XD)
1. You get depressed or angry or both.
Do you noticing yourself constantly whining, complaining, yelling or all the above while none of your teammates are, even though you’re all having a bad game? That’s a warning sign. Not only is acting out unhealthy for yourself, it also alienates your teammates, and it sets a bad mood for the rest of the game or even rest of the day. You need to teach yourself self-control. Learn what it means to be a gracious loser if you were beaten fair and square. At least you tried and put up a fight.
2. You give up.
If you see other people on the other team do well you feel defeated and give up. The worst is giving up when you are playing poorly but your teammates are playing well and you give up even when your team is winning. The problem is, giving up solves nothing for yourself and makes you feel even worse. Instead, you should be thinking about what other players are doing that is working for them.
3. You idealize.
You hear your teammates talking about how great their stats were last game or how easy it is to use the sniper rifle. Then you start seeing them as having fun for everyone but you. STOP. Stop complaining why you always have bad games.
Realize we all go through losing streaks and bad days, and know that we aren’t all amazing players, or happy all the time. Remember this quote: “It’s never as good as it seems, and it’s never better”. Quit idealizing. We all rage and have days where we just want to never play Halo for a week. Instead: Understand we all have a lot more in common than you might believe. Feel like you’re part of a team with the same goal.
4. You secretly want your teammates to fail and resent them when they outperform you.
Wanting others to do poorly so we can lift ourselves up is a toxic way to process competition. It will only make you feel worse. I hear the same thing time and time again where people rather see their team lose but finish with good stats than seeing their team win with average stats.
Instead: Practice wanting others to win. Don’t use other people’s stats or k/d to measure yourself against. Don’t compare yourself who is a higher rank and plays much more than you. Set your own goals and improve on your past mistakes.
5. You don’t respect your competitors or fellow playersYou love trash-talking or bragging, regardless if it’s to the other team or your teammate. Or perhaps you convince yourself that you’re better than other people by calling them awful or cheaters. Or you put down your team and criticize them for not being as good as you. Instead, remember that everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. Even if your teammate didn’t perform as well as you did, they at least showed effort or kept a positive attitude. Going forward, encourage yourself to compete primarily against your own performance, so you take pride in your own progress, as well as practice self-motivation.
I’m not saying to not be competitive, but there’s a difference between healthy and unhealthy competition to a point where no one wants to play with you. Healthy competition encourages you to push the boundaries of what you thought was possible for yourself. Don’t bring yourself down by with unhealthy competition and don’t surround yourself with overly competitive people either. Use healthy competition as encouragement to improve yourself.

These are me but I am the type that doesn’t care whether we win or lose as long as my team plays well enough to not get decimated. I also could care less about being the best and am content with being low skilled or average.

You say you don’t care about being the best and happy with being low skilled, yet say you get depressed/angry and give up?
…o…k?
