If it wasn't for the last line, I'd have sworn you were Stuart Hogg with a secret Lemmy account.
In all seriousness though, when you talk during the game or afterwards, what is the outcome when you ask why they overlook you as a recipient for a pass?
To address your initial friendship issue, maybe it's time to join a sports team that allows you to develop even more and exposes you to more friendship opportunities?
They say it’s because I’m usually not open (I tend to hide behind the other players and not be open but it still pisses me off). They also say I’m a bad sport for calling them useless pieces of crap all the time, and I even got kicked off the team for a while because I told the truth?
Being honest, I will always think other people are terrible, and it makes me mad, but there’s nothing I can do. I guess I’ll just stay that way.
If you tend to hide, not be available to receive a pass, and not help in a team sport, then you need to reevaluate your level of ability.
I’m very good at sports when I can be. Usually when I “hide”, it’s because these tall women are blocking me. (I’m 5’7 but they are 5’9, even 5’11) I can shoot some awesome hoops, I just refuse to help useless people who aren’t as good as me when I actually care about the game. In this case, people are tools made to complete the goal of a game. If the tools are broken, why use them?
It's a team sport. You're not a team player. Don't stand there like a lump, "hiding". Create pressure, opportunity, and space for your teammates. The goal of the game is not for you to score. The goal of the game is for your team to score.
You sound like a broken tool.
If my team were better at strategy, I’d be less mad
Then help. If you see the problem, help provide the fix. Enthusiasm, energy, and skill raises everyone's game. Whining just compounds the issue.
I’m pretty enthusiastic and energetic, or all of those really, I make easy wins, and I like to say “Oh yeah! I won!!” and point to myself.
