Got trash talked; need help

SteelMankind·11/1/2016, 5:28:21 PM·6 votes·1,021 views

Just got crushed by a Diamond 1 mid (I'm Silver II). After the game, he was so rude to me in the lobby. He called me trash, told me he would shit on me with any champ, that I should go back to bronze.

I had no idea how to respond. I rarely leave my house irl and always got along with my parents growing up, so I have NO IDEA how to handle confrontation. He was hurting my feelings so badly, I felt like I wanted to die. Instead of going out to buy a gun, I curled up into a ball and cried. How am I supposed to deal with people like that? He's a better player than me, and probably a happier person as well. Should I just kill myself? I can't think of any other way to escape this horrible shame I feel.

I can't tell if this is a troll post or not but if this is in anyway serious you need to call and talk to someone and get some help immediately. Suicidal thoughts or actions are not a joke. Also ending your life over a game is never a worthy reaction to someone's bitter or hateful comments. Remember that person is actually just a horrid excuse for the human race who feels the need to validate their existence by hurting other people. That person is weak minded and shallow and you shouldn't allow them to get under your skin. Best of luck m8 and seriously talk to someone.

Yes, I agree OP.

I would add though, I don't know why anyone thinks a person who rages on an internet game is successful and etc. as you describe. Sounds to me the person/people insulting you are the ones who feel the worst about their own lives.

Try to remember, most times when a person picks on another is because the bully is insecure and needs to control or make others feel bad and often the one's who make excuses about behavior.

Mute and move on or pick a less stressful game sorry but really This is a Game.

Lmfao, op is a beta cuck, how sad. I'm convinced this is one of those "ironic" shitposts, which is still a shitpost.

Relax :)

This is just some random person on the internet, who you're likely never going to have to interact with again. What they think of you doesn't matter at all. Also, remember they're the person feeling all high and mighty for beating up on somebody of considerably lesser skill (not meant as an insult, just stating the facts of the circumstance).

If they were causing problems in all chat in game, just drop in a quick report afterwards, and they'll get what's coming to them. That'll be easiest for you, because you can report them and just leave the post-game and not have to see whatever else they say. If they weren't chatting in-game and only did it in the post-game, you can (and should) still report it. But in this case, it'll be most helpful to copy some of what they're saying and paste it into the comments box when you go to report them (unfortunately this means you'll have to have taken some time and seen/read the crap they're saying). Generally, it's best to not even respond directly to people doing this.

Just understand that you're not in any real danger from people like this. They're like a little yappy dog with no teeth: super annoying but pose no threat outside of gumming on your ankles.

I feel bad for the D1 http://i.imgur.com/Divi9yo.png?1

If that guy has such low self esteem that he need to stomp silvers to feel good about himself, then he doesnt deserve that rank

Also like Lazarus said, get help. Suicide is no laughing matter man

Also, why all the downvotes? Are you guys not believing me, or are you the sort of person who would make fun of people like me?

Anyone know what he's saying?

Reverse psychology ???

i think you should ignore him and carry on with your life.

it's just one person, don't let him put you down.

I just got out of a normals game where a 2/14 Shyvana jg was screaming that we were bronze, said to report bot lane, and that she wasn't ganking or pushing with any of us because she "doesn't help bronzies :3". Did I mention she was 2/14? Our Poppy support who had a really rough start ended up doing better than her.

Whenever someone makes fun of you, try to find something else funny about the situation. Or just feel sad about that person because they probably make fun of other people because they're worthless bums who can't afford to make fun of themselves. People who are happy do not say those kinds of things. People who make bad choices and want someone else to feel worse than they do say those things.

And, most importantly, don't take anything to heart that someone says about you over a videogame. If you measure your life by your success in a videogame, then I genuinely feel bad that that is what you consider your accomplishment in life. Videogames are for fun, nothing more.

Listen, I have social issues too. Hell, I hate humanity. But I find that the best thing to do is mute them, or, if you aren't at risk of getting banned, poke fun at them during the match. then report them and move on.
