We all know that rage is a strong emotion that can be hard to control. It gets the best of us and can ruin our games. Sometimes it’s even hard to remember what we were so mad about in the first place. But most of the time, if you’ve been playing for more than 20 minutes, you’re probably already too deep into it. So here are some ways to stay calm when you’re losing at games!
How To Not Rage At Games?
Take a deep breath:
When you’re losing at games, the first step is to take a deep breath. Don’t think about anything else for as long as you need to. This will help you calm down and focus on what’s happening in the game. Next, try to focus on your strengths. If you’re really bad at hand-eye coordination but really good at puzzles, it might be worth focusing on that! Or if you can’t seem to solve any puzzles, maybe just focus on the storyline and the characters involved in the game rather than trying to win. Regardless of what you do, don’t let yourself get too frustrated or upset by your loss. Think about why it happened and how you could have prevented it.
Try not to think about other things:
Try not to think about other things while playing or after a loss or loss streak has been going on for too long. It’s easy to get distracted from games when there is so much going on in our life. Try to focus on what’s happening on the screen.

Take a break:
Sometimes taking a break from games helps us get back into them better than anything else does! If you’re having a tough time focusing on games, take a walk or get outside. Go somewhere quiet and take a break from the game for 10 minutes and then try to focus again.

Play more games:
Games are fun, and we play them to relax and have fun. If you can’t seem to focus on games anymore, maybe try playing more of them!

Look at the positive:
Don’t let yourself get too frustrated or upset by your loss; look at the positive aspects of your gaming experience! Maybe you’ve never played another strategy game before, so that’s something to be proud of! Maybe you just got sucked into an addictive series of puzzles that you can’t stop playing. That’s awesome!
How To Stay Calm When You’re Losing?
Don’t be too controlling
This is one of the hardest things to do. Being too controlling can make a player feel like they’re not in control of their own destiny. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes, sometimes you’ll get lucky and win anyway!
Don’t be a jerk
I mean seriously, don’t be a jerk to other players. Not everyone is out for your best interest and if you don’t play with friends, you should try to find some kind of online community (like the one on Reddit) or join an online tournament. But even then, it’s okay if you lose because people are just playing for fun and not trying to destroy your life!
Be cool about it!
This is probably the biggest reason why people rage at games so much; they’re either too competitive or too upset about losing that they start yelling at everyone around them. Even if you want your friends to be mad at you, don’t yell at them. And if you can’t control your anger, take a break and come back when you’re calmer.
Don’t be too proud
I know I said not to be too controlling but sometimes pride gets the best of us. If you fall behind in a game and it’s getting to the point where it’s almost impossible for you to catch up, then it’s okay to stop playing for a little bit. Just don’t get too proud of yourself; we all lose from time to time!
Don’t give up
Sometimes we just don’t have a choice. Sometimes we get beaten by an opponent that we can’t beat, or we see a fight between two players that seems impossible to win. But if you’re playing against something that’s unbeatable, as a boss in the game, then it’s okay to give up. Just don’t let your team down and be sure not to let them down too!
Be kind
Don’t be mean to other players or their characters, even if you think they suck and are having a bad day. If someone is getting mad at you because of your actions, then just apologize and move on! If they really need help, there’s this thing called the walkthroughs section on GameFAQs where people post walkthroughs for every game out there; it’s usually pretty helpful!
Stay positive!
If you’re getting frustrated, then it’s okay to take a break. Just don’t let frustration get the best of you; it’s a lot easier to recover from anger than it is to recover from sadness!
Tips For How To Win?
when you’re losing
● Use your anger as motivation to stay focused and win. If you really want to win, you have to try harder.
● Be less sensitive about what other people are saying online or in real life. You can’t control what other people say or do, so let those comments go and just focus on your own gameplay.
● Try and be patient with the game. Don’t rush it, because time is on your side when you’re playing a difficult game like this one. This can help you play more objectively and not get too frustrated when something doesn’t happen quickly enough for you.
● Don’t give up! Sometimes it just takes a little more time to get what you want in a game, but keep trying and you will eventually succeed.
● Try and play with friends who are also learning how to play the game, rather than against them. It can be frustrating when you’re losing, but it’s always better to have someone there to cheer you on than not at all!
Conclusion
It’s easy to lose your temper when you’re playing games. But if you can learn to stay calm, you’ll have a much better chance of winning. If you have a plan for quitting games, you can focus on winning instead of raging. And if you don’t, try these tips for how to stop being angry and stay calm when you’re losing.
