Do you get a terrible mood after losing in bullet

As I've grown older, I've gotten better at not taking losses (or wins), especially at at 1/0 too seriously. We all get angry sometimes but I try and not take it personally. Am actually indifferent to who my opponent is. Mostly try and focus on the board.

The real question is are you playing well on the board? If you are then you shouldn't get upset at all. It's not fun losing on time in a clearly won position but it happens. On the other hand, if you're having a bad day then play a slower timer, do some puzzles, take a break/nap or just call it a day and watch a movie or something.
