I recently realized that I am quite typical: the red on the account showing unrealized losses is more likely to pull me out of bed than the same amount of unrealized gains. Clearly, not selling doesn't count as a loss, but my mind automatically fills in "what if it keeps falling," then I start reviewing, finding reasons, blaming my own carelessness... Unrealized gains are more easily seen as luck, and I forget about them after a good night's sleep.

It might also be that I am more sensitive to "uncertain rules." Seeing everyone complain about miner/validator income, MEV causing unfair ordering, basically thinking you're making trades, but actually you're just racing others for priority. When unrealized losses appear, it feels even more like being systematically taken advantage of, and my mindset just collapses.

I no longer believe in the saying "as long as you hold on, it will definitely come back." Anyway, my current approach is to keep my position smaller, only trade what I can understand, and skip what I don't understand... for now, that's it.
