I often play competitive solo standard, which is as salty as it gets because I'm an Expert in Silver fuckin' 2: everyone I play with is objectively worse than me, but I can't get out of that rank because I only shine when I'm in a good team. Catch-22. So I decided not to care about ranking anymore, to disable chat and just play that when I want to listen to some audiobooks.

I don't get salty when I play RL or sports with friends - I'm not playing for some meaningless points, I do it because it's fun to do so with friends.
