I recently realized that I am quite typical: when making floating profits, I feel very relaxed, thinking "I haven't cashed out yet"; but when experiencing floating losses, it's a different story. Even a small retracement makes my mind automatically fill in all kinds of worst-case scenarios, and I wake up in the middle of the night wanting to check on-chain... Basically, losses seem to remind you "You did something wrong," while making money feels more like luck, which isn't as harsh.



Now I force myself to focus on "signals" rather than prices: for example, whether funds are continuously withdrawing, whether the pool depth has thinned, or whether the contract positions have suddenly crowded together. If the signals are good, I bother less; if they turn bad, I admit defeat and walk away—don't try to tough it out with sleep deprivation.

Airdrop season is the same. The point system makes people feel like clocking in at work, and the task platforms even act against witches, making everyone more anxious... I eventually automated everything I could, and the rest I leave to fate. Otherwise, it's not just money being lost, but mental energy.
