According to my Psych 1102 textbook, silver medalists are way more unhappy with their achievements than bronze medalists. I never thought about it, but yeah, it does make a lot of sense. You were that little inch, little point, little step, or little push away from the gold medal. You were so close to being the best, but now you're just second best.
What do you do then?
I guess you could accept it for what it's worth. You could always say that it wasn't your time. Take your weaknesses and make them stronger, right? Move on to the next race. And hopefully, people will eventually see you for what you're worth.
But how do you stop thinking of the one you wanted so badly; the one that got away?
