frustration patterns

Zach said something in response to the account of my exercise attempt that got me thinking:
In my experience, I tend to gain more from team exercises (ex - playing basketball with friends) than from exercising by myself - I find it boring, and not useful even for introspection

I think I've talked before about how I hate losing but don't particularly care about winning. I don't know if I'm really competitive or not but I have to feel like I am doing well in order to have a good time, so there is really no point in doing a competitive activity with people who are better than me. I enjoy Smash Bros though so I don't mind playing with people who are actually good so long as some other people at my skill level are also playing. Me vs. someone actually good got really old.

Ah yes. I have fond memories of getting my ass kicked in smash with Joe, johnny (and bobby?). The teasing was merciless, but ok when its coming from your friends. Afterall, I tease them when they're not as good as me in other things. Smarty Pants on Wii comes to mind from last summer.
