How to Get Emotional Support After Losing Too Many Video Games

 

Video games can be a great source of entertainment, challenge, and social connection. However, they can also cause frustration, anger, and stress when we lose or perform poorly. Losing too many video games can affect our mood, self-esteem, and even our relationships. How can we cope with these negative emotions and get emotional support after losing too many video games? Here are some tips:

 

1. Recognize your emotions

 

 

The first step to deal with any emotion is to acknowledge it and name it. When you lose a video game, you might feel a range of emotions, such as disappointment, sadness, anger, anxiety, or shame. Try to identify what you are feeling and why. For example, you might say to yourself: “I feel angry because I lost the game and I think it’s unfair” or “I feel sad because I let my team down and I think I’m not good enough”. By naming your emotions, you can gain more clarity and control over them.

 

2. Manage your emotions

 

 

Once you recognize your emotions, you can use different strategies to manage them. For example, you can:

 

Breathe deeply. Taking slow and deep breaths can help you calm down and relax your body and mind.

 

Take a break. Sometimes, the best thing to do after losing a video game is to step away from it for a while. You can do something else that you enjoy, such as listening to music, reading a book, or going for a walk. This can help you distract yourself from the negative emotions and gain some perspective.

 

Express your emotions. You can also vent your emotions in a healthy way, such as writing them down in a journal, talking to a friend, or punching a pillow. This can help you release the tension and frustration that you might be holding inside.

 

Challenge your thoughts. Losing a video game can trigger negative thoughts about yourself, such as “I’m a loser”, “I’m worthless”, or “I’ll never improve”. These thoughts can make you feel worse and affect your motivation and confidence. Try to challenge these thoughts and replace them with more realistic and positive ones, such as “I’m not a loser, I just lost a game”, “I’m not worthless, I have many strengths and qualities”, or “I can improve if I practice and learn from my mistakes”.

 

3. Seek emotional support

 

Sometimes, managing your emotions by yourself is not enough. You might need some emotional support from others who can understand, empathize, and comfort you. You can seek emotional support from:

 

Your friends or peers. You can talk to your friends or peers who play video games or share similar interests. They might have experienced similar situations and emotions, and they can offer you some advice, encouragement, or feedback. You can also play video games with them cooperatively, which can increase your sense of relatedness and competence1.

 

Your family or loved ones. You can also talk to your family or loved ones who care about you and your well-being. They might not know much about video games, but they can still listen to you, support you, and remind you of your value and potential. You can also spend some quality time with them and enjoy their company.

 

A professional or a group. If you feel that your emotions are too overwhelming or interfering with your daily life, you might want to seek professional help or join a support group. A professional, such as a therapist or a counselor, can help you understand and cope with your emotions, as well as address any underlying issues that might be causing them, such as video game addiction2. A support group, such as a online forum or a local community, can provide you with a safe and supportive environment where you can share your experiences and feelings with others who are going through the same thing.
