I get frustrated very easily when I fail certain maps or don't get good enough accuracy. I know logically it doesn't make sense to expect these results but somewhere along the way I unconsciously pick up a bad mentality and tilt out of my mind. Even if I was previously enjoying the game, something simple like failing to improve my accuracy multiple times in a row on different songs or choking a play will just make me depressed.
I just want to prevent the thoughts that lead to this experience happening. Eventually what will happen is that I will stop playing because I'm tilted too often for it to be worth it, and then I come back and it's going well for a while, and then it becomes not worth it because i'm tilted. Rinse repeat.
As a result it's very hard for me to play this game for more than a couple weeks straight lately. The past several months have been on a week, off a month, on a week, off a week, etc. And this only makes it worse because I'm less consistent as a result, which makes it even harder to reach expectations.
I just want to be able to care about the game without having stupid expectations for myself that make me want to not play. Improving at the game is what drives me to play it so I can't just "play for fun" and still want to play the game. How do I rid myself of these expectations?
I've had people say just "accept that you will fail" or "stop having high expectations". My main question is, how? I feel like these things happen automatically in my brain. How do I stop myself from ruining my own fun?
