Recently, I just reached 1600 and I’m proud of it. But every time I lose rating, I feel very depressed. Now I’m about to drop back to Specialist. Even though I know it’s just a temporary change, I still can’t overcome my sad emotions. What can I do?
UPD : THANK YOU GUYS! I just had a bad performance on the latest contest, AND -80 FELLS LIKE NOTHING FOR ME NOW
UPD2 : IN BACK NOW Muhehehehehe
Just read the latest update on this contest lol!
Wow, I just saw it Love you man! Now I can sleep peacefully lol
but I was ranked good :(
Chill bro, it's unrated now .
Don't worry about color/rating EVER. If you're truly good then that rating/color will definitely come back. Just take it as a reality check and keep trying.
Thank you man! Wish you have a nice journey on programming!
Thank you! I believe it's always better to have your rating a little below your true potential rating rather than get lucky on a few contests, hit a peak, get a new color and stop giving contests in fear of losing color/rating.
wow, you have expert from beginner for 9 months. It is really good progress. Keep going!
Thanks man!
It is just a rating why do you care so much?
In front of you, is a Master, who fell back Pupil once, back Specialist 5 times, Expert once. Thanksfully, I threw myself in Luogu and schoolwork earlier this year, I didn't play enough codeforces round. I think I should fall back to CM at least twice if I countinue participating. And I think when I reach IM I have to fall back to Master for at least twice.
But I fell back Pupil once, means I could reach Specialist for once more. I fell back to Specialist 5 times, I could reach Expert for 5 more times.
teach me how to become like you master and we shall create history
Thanks man! now I won't be scared to fall back to Specialist! btw, I like the quote you use.
You need a thousand more rating losses to get used to it.
