Why is it that this game brings out the worst in people?

I have yet to meet a friendly chess player.

Why?

I know, and also people abandoning games, like just resign, you still lose points either way.

These people you’re talking about, hate losing it hurts their pride , that’s why they start crying like a spoiled brat , and begin to foul mouth their opponents .

Immaturity and rudeness is worse by far in this game than any other.

For example, there are some who trashtalk the entire chess community based on a few bad examples. Imagine that.

2000 elo ratings are fake, everyone knows that.

@Ness as someone who’s 1850 with a peak elo of 1987 I can guarantee that’s not true

I don't believe anyone on here.

I didn't think chess had such unpleasant communication. I thought that chess players were well-balanced and intelligent people who are guided by common sense and do not resort to profanity.

Creating a troll account just to verbally abuse the entire community. Good job.

I thought so too, I started Chess to find friendly, mature, intelligent people. It turned out to be the exact opposite of that! Rude, selfish, trolls. Have yet to meet a nice person in this game. You are just another example of a troll. Just a rude person and nothing else.

I have the opposite problem as OP: every chess I've met is either too afraid to be honest, or just lacks complete self awareness and/or pride when it comes to skill level.

I had no intention of offending anyone. 
I just expressed my opinion on what I had read.
