Watching the numbers in my account keep shrinking, I started to question myself—why did I come here to go all in?

Honestly, this wave of losses really threw me off. From initially being optimistic to now being completely confused, my mindset has collapsed, and my temper has flared up. Sometimes I feel like I’ve truly gone crazy, knowing the risks are high but still insisting on taking a gamble. And the result? A complete wipeout.

The hardest part to understand is that even after all this, I’m still here cursing. It’s like only this way can I vent the frustration inside. But when I calm down and think about it, what’s the point of such behavior? None. It’s just proving how regretful I am.

Maybe this is the most common mistake in investing—emotions dominating decisions. When the account gets cut in half, rationality has long been thrown out the window.

Well... isn't this something we all go through? Facing reality can be a bit painful.

Mindset can collapse suddenly; once it does, you lose all rationality and a single cent is gone.

That hurts. This is exactly what goes through my mind before every all-in. Really, rationality is a luxury. When you're broke, you can't afford it at all. I promised not to look at the K-line, but I still can't help but stare at it bleeding every day. No wonder my temper has worsened. The hardest part is the gambler's mentality. Knowing it's a trap but still jumping in. Serves me right. Stop cursing, buddy. I've already lost everything. Getting angry now is pointless.

Really, this is the curse of the crypto world, knowing it's a fire pit but still jumping in. --- Mindset is everything; it's easiest to reveal your true feelings when losing money. --- It's not just emotions; the entire environment is guiding you to lose your mind. --- Swearing does feel good, but next time you'll probably make the same mistake again. --- In front of a slashed account, all reflections seem a bit powerless. --- That feeling of knowing you shouldn't go all in, but doing it anyway. --- Once you calm down, you start pondering how to recover your losses, it's really devilish. --- If you can survive this round, consider it a tuition fee paid. --- Rationality? In the crypto world? Ha, you're overthinking it. --- Every time, you say you've learned your lesson, but when the next market cycle comes, it's the same old tricks.

Bro, this round is really a textbook-level self-doubt, rough words but true meaning.
