I have been noticing an increase in rage whispers lately, mostly telling me how crap I am at the game lol. News flash I know, I am only a casual player and also suffer from M.E which makes concentrating really hard for me. To be honest until I got M.E I very rarely played games, I loved camping, hill walking and boxing which I can no longer do. So, I now play this game as I have nothing else of interest. That’s ok though I still enjoy the game even knowing that I will never be good at it.
Now I’m not writing this post because the rage whispering bothers me because it really doesn’t, in fact I feel sorry for those who feel the need to vent their hate in this way. I honestly feel that they are either trying to compensate for a lack of something or that they have been bullied all there lives and feel empowered by being able to hide behind their keyboards and vent toxic abuse at other players. In real life I bet that they fear confrontation of any kind.
So next time someone rage whispers you, remember they are either trying to compensate for a lack of something or are one of life’s victims of bulling who are just trying to make themselves feel a bit better by raging at other players. Of course there is another option as they could just be complete utter *** but lets give them the benefit of the doubt.
Until I had this realisation I used to engage back trading insults for which I apologise, from this point on I will stop doing this when someone rage whispers me as they obviously have it hard enough in life without me engaging with them. They need that empowerment of feeling like the bully instead of the victim.
Have a good day all especially all you rage whisperers out there.
