Stalling in lost position.

I do not understand why people sit for a minute and let their time run out in a lost position. This seems to be occurring more often these days. Why not just resign and move on to the next game?  It seems I encounter one person a day who engages in the behavior of stalling/ quitting game. What is the appeal of sitting in a lost position?

Some people need to realize you cannot win them all

eh majority of time trying to make a stalemate, if not possible usually just sit there and do nothing, close their phone or play something else, they don’t want to resign in the possibility of maybe “wrong move that would let them stalemate” depends on what kind of players you encounter, if with small elo, more likely to make a stalemate, with big elo, most likely to not make a stalemate

what I mean with small and big elo is what type of player are you, if you have small elo chances of stalemate can be big, if with big elo, not rlly many chances

what's worse, them wasting your time, or you wasting your own time with this thread that is just you complaining?

I remember a psychologist study that boiled it down to abandonment issues primarily by a father figure, or mistreatment. It becomes a defiance/control response for their childhood. Daddy issues; although I think it’s wrong that dads got the brunt of the blame in those studies… people can just be jerks sometimes 👍🏽

Whatever. It does happen a lot. It’s wrong and it does waste everyone’s time.
