I've had an inner realization concerning anger at other players in a MP game when we lost this a game this past week (usually doesn't happen but the guy basically blamed me for the loss with snide comments in what I perceived to be an unfair way, I asked for clarification and he got more snide, and it triggered me or rather it triggered the inner distorted beliefs that resulted in the subtle rise of anger within my body that I could perceive as a wave of heat/getting upset).
I would be happy to share in more detail if you feel its relevant to your situation.
I wasn’t cursing at the video game; it just started flaring up while I was playing. I was playing Diablo 3, and if you’re familiar with the game, the cosmology makes absolutely no sense. Immortal angels and demons forever locked in an “eternal conflict” of winning and losing. I was silently criticizing that, but I don’t think that was an issue.
Although I am quite familiar with the anger that you are describing. I’ve played many MMORPGs and it’s been a source of catalyst for me for sure.
