How to act around a Sore Loser?

I have this friend, who is a very sore loser. He really hates losing. When he loses in things like sports etc. ,he will be very persistent and keeps playing until he wins for the first time. If this happens once in while, I wouldn't mind. But it happens all the time and it can be annoying at times. He also emits a negative aura which is very oppressing and depressing to the point that I'm always avoiding him. Therefore, I would like to ask for tips and advices from the Fakku community.....

How to act around someone is a sore loser?

I'd scold/mock him. He's acting like a little bitch, so he deserves it. You seem to care, so I'd advise that you tell it like it is. If he's not a complete dipshit, he'll get the picture, otherwise, I'd suggest losing the faggot (after many attempts of bringing some sense into him).

You should try and talk to him and see if he could at least try change and maybe try reminding him to calm down when you are playing with him and you win.

I find it more of a problam with bad winners which probaly makes me the sore loser and by bad winners I mean some one who broke the rules then is in your face about how much better than you he is.

When it comes to winning or losing I don't really care. I just want to enjoy the game, but if your left all sore after playing a non-contact sport it's hardly fun.

If its with you he's competing with... just let him win and that is the end of it I guess. You can also bribe his em targets, offer em soda to let this guy win?

Seriously, he really just seems to be very competitive. Just help him when you can, improve I guess on the things that he's into like coach him. Its just not something that is a rational thing, some people are really just like that its just their personality.

People like this are a pain in the ass to deal with. If it's only with games and sports and whatnot I'd say the first thing to try is just avoiding doing things with him that he's going to feel competitive about. If he's a jerk when playing sports, don't play those with him.

If he's competitive about EVERYthing, though, that's a different story. Not much you can do about that since it sounds like it's a part of his self esteem problems. He HAS to win in order to prove himself... to everyone, including himself. Regardless of what his problem is, you should probably talk to him about it. Don't be a prick and get in his face, just explain it. Tell him his obsession with winning makes doing things like sports and games a chore and, after a while, you don't want to play with him because of it. Avoid making it seem like hanging out with him PERIOD is a pain because that'll make him more defensive. Just lay it on the table and tell him you're not going to do that shit with him if he keeps being a self centered jackhole.

If he keeps this crap up you're going to have to evaluate for yourself whether it's worth staying friends with him or not. Play it cool and don't let him make you out to be the bad guy. Good luck.

If he is truly a friend... you might be lucky if you get him to consider changing.
Lets be honest here, if you could change people just because you were friends with them, the world would be a lot easier.

If that is part of his self, you might be in for hard time...

Well as for the "sore loser" part, I don't know if constantly trying to win would be considered being a "sore loser." Isn't it more of when someone blames something else for losing when you become a "sore loser"?

For the negative aura part, I would suggest you emitting a positive aura to counteract it! A smile and compliments are probably the only free things in this world. Act cheerful around him as much as you can... it can be infectious sometimes. Good luck :D

Well his negative energy really surpass mine. The energy i release isn't really enough to negate his negativity.

Explain to him what he's doing is unreasonable and annoying. Then if he doesn't listen to you just kick him every time he does it.

I'm the quiet sore loser type. I'll always say one more game until I'm satisfied, but I won't blow up on the other player. I'm just very persistant. As insight on our habits we tend to loose steam eventually, but if he is that annoying I suggest setting some ground rules befoire playing the sport. Like say how many games you plan on having. If the person is still annoying you after setting ground rules, then you have the right to cut ties with that person.

Thank i'ii will try what all your advice.

Have him play a game in which it is impossible to win it will ether break that habbit or he just dies out of exaustion trying to beat it.

I'm the negative type, also quite persistent, but I grew out of the habit.
Persistency is a sign that shows the trait: stubbornness and pride.
To deal with both is to never give in to their will or way. Breaking down the pride also works, but only for those shy inactive types. Those fiery persistent types will keep trying like a madman. These types are actually quite rare today since most people gave up life, if you wish to break it, ignore his persistency if it shows, if his pride is bigger, he'll stop. If his stubbornness is bigger, treat him like a child.

I too am a sore loser, so when there is another in the room, we counter act, so we both end of flipping at each other and call one or the other garbage and in the end we end up watching a movie or watch anime.

Tell him to suck it up, and shut up. You can do this in a more or less nice way, but you should do it none the less

Well in my group im the soreloser :P, if you frequent Chatroll you'll see my outburst once in awhile after a bad game :3

Im only like this when im playing video games, cause its one of the things i kinda take pride in, so when someone beats me it kinda hurts me alot. Childish or pathetic? perhaps but i really do take pride in being a gamer

well my friends just give me food to calm me down, except one of my friend who just tells me to shut up XD
