I find that I am much more sensitive to "floating losses" than to "floating gains." During the day, watching the pool's fee income trickle in, I stay pretty calm; but at night, as soon as I see the price deviate or the impermanent loss column turn red, even if I haven't actually lost money, my mind automatically starts to amplify it: Should I withdraw? Did I choose the wrong pair? Will it get worse the longer I wait... Sleep gets disturbed directly. Conversely, when I have floating gains, I’m not that excited, at most thinking "Oh, it's okay," then worrying about giving it back.
Basically, it's loss aversion, right? That loss feels like being pinched. Recently, watching the collapse of some blockchain game economies feels quite similar—inflation kicks in, studios get squeezed, coin prices spiral downward, everyone’s focused on "not losing," which makes mutual stepping on each other even easier.
Right now, I can only use clumsy methods: keep smaller positions, choose more stable pairs, consider fees as completing today's task... Anyway, take it slow, at least I can sleep through the night.
