@shadow1414 It is a not a serious fact that he lost 80 rating points in 1 day, after all it is bullet. It happens to everyone Zhigalko Sergei sometimes loses 100 points in bullet after 1-2 tournaments. @Tae7 will regain them soon.
I think that an important question is: Will you really be happy if you get the points back? You used to be like 2100, now you are 2000, some people would give the world to be that good. But maybe if you got back to 2100, or 2150, 2200, you would still feel like you weren't very good and that you needed to accomplish more. Magnus Carlsen might feel just like you do, "I have to be the greatest in history, I'm not good enough yet". I've seen him punching his desk in anger after blundering! While others who are not that good might be like, "Damn, that was a funny mistake", and burst out in laughter.
It helps to just not care about your rating, knowing you will get it back the next day.
Thank you for all your great suggestions. I was in a foul mood yesterday and reading your posts made me feel a lot better ;)
I know that I probably should care less about bullet rating but it’s easier said than done and having a long losing streak is pretty disheartening....
On a another note, I’m over the tilt! :) Thnx again everyone! Your comments meant a lot.
Try to stay in a bad with a beautiful girl? Is not a valid option?
