There's no point in getting angry. You either win or lose in chess - sometimes a draw. If you lose try to figure out why and try not to do it again. If you win do the same thing.

I use to roam places. I used to travel with all kinds of people. But the situation is going bad for women which I was unaware of. On 2012 during May I ran for my life for staying 30 mins near something that change my life forever. Shock that still exist. Just because I grown up people don't look at me in the same way as I was in a primary school. Instead of looking at me as a strength they began to view me as weakness. I no longer want to know them so I don't visit places anymore.
If you want I can change my avatar to a neutral one but i don't want to. I want to maintain originality as much as I can.

I know that the problem with chess is that I know that every mistake I made is on me for failing to see something that was right in front of me. So when I blunder I can't help feeling stupid for making the mistake, and then feeling angry for being stupid (despite playing often and trying to learn from both experience and videos). It is difficult not to think "How the **** did I not see that!".
If anybody has any recommendations on how to go around this I would be most grateful.

That's what's funny.
Like white player wins, so black player assumes it was somehow whites fault, black played like an idiot.

No, I don't view it that way. I respect the ability of my opponent, I put players in bad situations to when I'm having a good game, and of course, chess is about defeating your opponent (duh). So there is no blame on the opponent, but on my own failure to see what later seems obvious.

The problem presents itself when you play chess. You have a problem with anger. You do need to learn to control it in order to not bother everyone around you in other aspects of your life. Angry outbursts often come from feelings of powerlessness or victimization. Losing a chess game recreates a miniature set of these cues with no real harm attached. Do get some kind of help, in order to deal with whatever else makes you flip, before you do something in real life that you (or someone else) regrets.
You're really misplaced to advise anyone about such issues. Dr Angry.
Actually.... it’s good advice.
The behavior is not normal- professional help should be sought. The signs are typical. We see it all the time where people after the fact say “we didn’t see it coming, imagine Johnny shooting all those people.”
Irrelevant as it’s a troll thread.

I just played the ChessGM003 - when I won, he got TICKED. He told me I should hide my family because he's coming to get me.
LOL
Most behaviors never change.

I, too, get extremely pissed playing chess. Usually I either just sit down and stare at something for several minutes or I go outside for a walk.

Then ask yourself- why on earth do you participate in an activity that you know is destructive towards your well being?
Self-destructive behavior may be used as a coping mechanism when one is overwhelmed. For example, faced with a pressing scholastic assessment, someone may choose to sabotage their work rather than cope with the stress. This would make submission of (or passing) the assessment impossible, but remove the worry associated with it.[6]Self-destructive behavior may be used as a coping mechanism when one is overwhelmed.

Some people live their entire lives... Angry -
at anything and everything..

I'm a chemist, not a physician, but my speculation: this kind of anger is maybe also an evolutionary artifact, a predisposition towards anger/aggression that enhances survival chances by intimidating competitors (competing for food, water, mates, and land). When outward expression of anger is inhibited by social norms, it could be redirected inwards, causing unreasonably intense impatience/frustration with oneself when not living up to immediate expectations. And under the influence of strong negative emotions, rational thought is suppressed, and we forget that improvement requires sustained effort over time. On top of that, competition triggers release of adrenaline and other hormones (humans are predators). Mindfulness meditation and outdoor brisk walking have helped me deal with anger issues in the past.

And you know this how, Ashvapathi? Can you prove that Satan or God do not exist? That's the interesting thing about atheists. They claim to rely on science (I'm a liberal who believes in science, btw), but a key point of science is that you can't prove a negative. By claiming there is no such thing as Satan, you are making a mistake of the same magnitude, if not greater, than those who say Satan is definitely real.
unrelated but I would've thought it would be the people making the claim who should prove it, rather than the people who do not believe it trying to prove a negative, this is the burden of proof fallacy, no?
Take your ego out of the game.
precisely.
