How do I not flip my shit on stupid crap? Shit, most of the time it's just something stupid, will set me off, and it takes extreme willpower not to sperg out. That's IF I can even do it.
Tonight for example, I was playing in the prerelease for the new mtg set, and I was doing really well. I made it all the way to final round and flooded out in game 3 with my opponent at 2 life. I threw my deck at the wall, and I almost didn't shake my opponent's hand (the deck throw was a little after that). It was still second place and a difference of 2 prize packs, but it just sent me off.
This happens with other shit, but this was the most recent. Recently, I flipped out on my coworker because he kept ragging about my shitty work shoes. For awhile, I managed to do alright because it was even worse in the past, but I'd say within the last year, maybe year and a half, it's just been a struggle. I feel bad about it, but I just explode sometimes.
You aren't "sperging out", you have anger issues. Go to a therapist, or try anger management.

Unfortunately, those cost money that I don't have.
So I'm basically fucked. Got it

Has anyone punched you in your face over one of your temper tantrums yet?
>>18247280
No?
>>18247118
So why do things set you off so badly? Why do you let every little thing bother you? What's the point?

It's coming. I had a similar issue, then I got my ass kicked. That actually got me to calm down.
Try meditating. Sit with your legs crossed in a dark room, think over what happened, why it made you angry. The first step is to be able to think about it calmly and understand yourself.

It's not like I "let" things get under my skin. I try to relax and just enjoy shit or otherwise let it go, but it just happens. That's how its always been for as long as I can remember, even when I was a child. Apparently, I scared my mom to the point where I was taken to therapy because she didn't know what to do with me, and that when I was like 6 I think.

People don't generally start shit with me because I'm a bigger dude, though frankly if love for someone to start something I think. My shop class in high school had a punching bag, and I would go to town on that thing.

Meditation never really got me anywhere.

>I don't let things get under my skin
>but sometimes I do
So... you didn't answer my question at all, you just contradicted yourself, and basically said "lol I dunno". Gee thnaks anon, glad to be of help.

Let go of the idea that what you're doing is important. I'm not saying you should embrace nihilism, but read Sartre on existentialism, most of what he wrote is about the length of a pamphlet.

>Meditation never really got me anywhere.
you probably aren't doing it right
how long did you try it for? i'd recommend guided meditations to learn the proper technique

if you weren't wasting all of your money on a stupid make believe card game you could afford something that actually matters like therapy.

>$35 every 4 months is wasting all my money
>compared to $100/week for therapy
Ok champ. I don't even smoke and I rarely drink, but please keep telling yourself that I'm wasting all my money.

I did answer it. I said I don't let it under my skin. That shit just happens. It's like telling the weather man he should have made it sunny instead of rain.
>>18247427
I known it's not important, though.

I've tried meditation on and off for years, with friends and alone along with various breathing exercises and shit.
