10 Biggest Lies Gamers Tell Themselves

2. I'm So Good, Everyone Online Totally Thinks I'm Awesome

When you think this about yourself, actually the opposite is true. Think about it. No one looks at your epic kill streak and thinks 'what a guy'. They think - usually to justify why they themselves are doing so poorly - 'what a tool, he probably sits here all day and does nothing else but play this. The loser. And he's probably rich'. That's just human nature my friend. And most of us are powerless to fight it.

So when you pop up on your little headset and start gloating and bragging about your pro capabilities, the thin ice you were already treading on shatters completely. If your fellow players didn't think you were a d**k to begin with, they do now. So next time you think people respect your 'Leetness' think on.
