In TV / movies chess is often used as a prop for telling the audience a character is clever. Because of this, non players (and new players) often associate chess with intelligence, and so making a mistake or losing a game can feel like proof that you are stupid, which can be upsetting.
In reality chess is not an intelligence test. Chess is a skill like sports or arts or anything else, and so the winner is the player who has studied and practiced the most. All great players have lost thousands and thousands of games... but when you're new you haven't internalized these things yet, so games can be pretty painful.
My first 100 losses sucked, but after that I got over that aspect of it

Look, do not feel upset, the Chess community feels your pain. You need to understand, if you are feeling frustrated, do not take it out on the goldfish; even the mob never went after the families. So keep it civil and keep it kosher, your rage will subside and the game of Chess is too elegant to sully with such primal emotion. So, really, what’s the problem? You’re ignoring the beauty of this game! The cruelty of losing, the problem being, while winning feels great, losing feels worse! See, it’s simple as that. Remember, no matter what, you must always keep a sharp look, we are dealing with neurochemicals here! No matter how you lose, no matter how frustrated you feel, in the end, it all boils down to a single truth; losing equals loss; that’s it, it’s all you need to know about winning and losing and what lies at the heart of the matter. So keep in mind this, when you lose, the feeling will arise, you have to accept it, once you accept it, you will begin to respect yourself, you will realise your limits, you will realise that you have limits, if you respect your limits, you will respect the limits of other people (if you catch my drift lmao). Hhahahahahaha, but in all cander, who’s to say the game won’t end by sheer frustration, your frustration will, in its turn, end the game, make the final chess moves a reality!
I play a lot of games, some I'm good at, others not so much. I make mistakes and I think: "Damn! well, better luck next time". But with chess when I realize I made a mistake the feeling is so much worse. I get such an overwhelming feeling of embarrassment and shame to the point I can feel physically sick sometimes.
Do more people experience this? And do you have tips to better deal with it?
