What grinds your gears and how do you deal with it?

However, the only thing that gets my blood boiling, the only thing that puts me in a foul mood and will cause me to snap unnecessarily at people, is losing on FIFA (an xBox soccer game).

That is a matter of pride, and the problems of "infusion" by beings that feed on that energy.

You can take control of that/them by channeling that energy they feed you, into a different "method".

For instance, when I played I was in the top five in the nation, never really getting to play against the other top players. When I did, they would get angry, and eventually leave.

This is why they left and I didn't.............

You are competing against someone using a range of options in your game. There is hand/eye coordination, and intellect/judgement/learning ability.

What people tend to do is go into a mental state where they play from habit, and rely on the "repetitive/programmed/habitual" skills they have. Most will not switch modes in thought process to change or adapt.

This is where you need to channel that energy. You need to channel it into becoming them. It will change your game, and it is one of the secrets to being unbeatable. I remember I could ruin the game even for the hackers. Just change your perspective to that of your opponent and you better understand what you need to do. You know exactly what to expect, because they play from habit, with patterns.

Btw, one of my old partners was under full control/infusion, and broke off contact with me because of his anger about not winning. He was one of those guys that would spend thousands on the newest technology with the expectation that "faster" parts will bring him the wins.

After a year of not hearing from him, his brother calls me to say he is in a coma from an aneurysm. What had happened is that he got pissed off during a game and the last thing he remembered was black paint running down his vision. He woke up with one side paralyzed.

It is kind of important to learn how to channel your negative energy into a positive. Divert it, so that it can't build up in the wrong place, in the wrong thoughts, in the wrong emotions.
