Getting mad when you or someone your rooting for lose - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Did you ever get angry and upset when either you or someone that your rooting for loses at something ? I was watching Survivor and Amber won. I was pissed and was hoping for Rupert to win , but he got voted off. I went crazy and yelled profanities as I heard Amber won.

Did this ever happen to you?

sure, but in the grand scheme of things it doesn't do you any good getting all worked up about it.

of course as a long time Vancouver Canucks fan, I've grown accustomed to less-than stellar results and continual let downs, even when they have a good team.

They say losing builds character, makes you face your shortcomings and focus on the areas where you can improve and become better. I don't know how that translates to watching your favorite reality star getting kicked off the show, but there's always another season or show.

I know how you feel. I've always hated the feeling of competition, even as a kid. I get nervous at the thought of losing. When the Patriots, Red Sox or my political candidate is down to the wire, I pace like crazy. I've even got in my car and gone for a ride when a game is on. I love winning.

Yes, most recently, especially with how the Patriots came back to take SBLI from Atlanta, when I thought that Atlanta had it won. I felt so badly about it afterwards, but I really did not want the Patriots to win, because I have never liked them.

Particularly when watching sports I feel like that. But I try not to let it get the best of me if they lose. I'll just ponder it for a while and move on.

Im like that with sports too. But I notice that I may be mad for a day or two and then I move on and completely forget about it

I'll just yell "Wait until next time!"

and let life move on.

As they say, fan is short for fanatic.

Not that I would know anything about that....
