When you say less flashy movements are you talking about video games?

Nope! I have a superiority complex, which manifests largely in the way that I do things. I flip water bottles when I pick them up, or spin things around quickly and catch them for example.

However, I'm human and humans are prone to mistakes. Learning to identify when I'm more prone to mistakes than normal and reducing those flashy behaviors has helped me a lot with my anger issues

So you try and flip water bottles constantly and then get angry when you don't do it well in front of people?

Mm, close. You know when a kid gets killed in a shooter game and accuse the enemy of hacking? My brain comes to that sort of conclusion about the fucking inanimate object when it doesn't move how I want it to.

Is it dumb as shit? Yeah. Did identifying this stupid behavior in myself help me change it? Hell yeah!
