StaceyPowers Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Do you feel confident when gaming? I have realized I do, even though I’m not that good at it. I only realized why recently. I think that confidence has less to do with believing you will succeed at something than knowing that if you fail, you will be okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Family sedan Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 It depends on how good of a race car I have compared to the competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demon_skeith Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Depends on the game, I go into most feeling good, unless its a punishing game like Dark Souls or Crash Bandicoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, games doesn't have any influence in my normal day to day life. 😊 Yes, playing games and defeating opponents do gives the vibe that we are invincible 😆, but that is only in a fantasy world.

Empire Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 A certain amount of not giving a shit is healthy; much of the game is out of your hands anyway. Regarding what you can control, try not to care about being good right now and performing well in this game, and focus more on being good and getting better in general. Play the long game and you'll be less inclined to beat yourself up right now. A certain amount of faith helps too. If you try, you'll improve sooner or later. If you improve, your rank will improve, sooner or later. There will be ups and downs, but they don't matter in the long run.

Haha, if the car doesn't match up with what your opponents have under their hood, it's definitely going cost your confidence knowing that you don't stand a chance to win.

Family sedan Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 At that point I'll just use the race as a test session and try lines around the track that I might not have otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that helps in mastering the race tracks, know the turns, the jumps and blockages. If you knew all that, it's a good added advantage.

My brother actually thought he would get better at racing with just one try and compete with me but he was totally wrong.

From my experience, the more you play in a healthy way, the more you would enjoy the game. It's in fact the best way to play as far as I'm concerned.

Seriously, as much as it's fun to play your favorite games always, it's not really a healthy habit to get addicted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
