You know what's odd, I find that I have no qualms to losing, even repeatedly in a row, to anyone EXCEPT for the people that I actually know and trained to help them get to where they are today. For some reason playing them I end up getting frustrated easily and start playing worse. It doesn't really make sense. Maybe it's because I've always been better than them, and I generally feel I should be better due to me knowing how they play very well? I dunno, but it bothers me somehow.
The harsh reality is that they have overtaken you in skill, when they were once your apprentice.
But that's the thing, in any other game that wouldn't bother me at all. I was TRYING to make them better than me. But it's more like...they're still playing the same and making the same mistakes, but I just can't punish them anymore because I'm making just as many mistakes myself. It's just frustrating to not be able to do what I know I SHOULD be able to. You know?
