Massive day playing a tournament for my social sports league. Someone in my team (who I hadn’t played with before) was so full on, correcting people on their technique when they were not playing flash themselves. Of course I want to do well but I’m there playing mainly for fun and this person was a huge negative presence. As soon as anyone made a mistake she was in their grill with her criticism. Super draining and not the only one who felt that way. If you’re going to take the role of the experienced know it all, then make sure you can talk the talk.
Then we went out after with all the teams for some drinks. Some very icy vibes thrown my way, probably because I started to get frustrated with their behaviour and it may have came out in my tone of voice during game play. Oh well. On my way home and ready for bed.

People like that ruin things that are supposed to be fun, out of some weird misplaced need to be the “alpha” or whatever you want to call it.
It’s incredible how 1 person can fuck everyone else’s good time.
If someone like that doesn’t like you, that’s a good thing!
Not a team player. A team player improves morale, doesn’t destroy it.
