Stopping loss really is like a breakup; if you drag it out without clarifying, it stays in your mind, and the trading fees/funding rates are quietly deducted there, anyway the longer you endure, the more uncomfortable it gets.

I used to think, "Just wait a little longer, it'll come back," trapping myself in that low-latency anxiety of watching the market late at night.
Later I realized, admitting loss early is actually handing the decision back to myself: cut when needed, pay less "interest," and sleep more peacefully.
Recently, the community arguing over privacy coins, coin mixing, and compliance boundaries also feels quite similar; many people don't lack risk awareness, but are reluctant to give up those illusions...
Let's control what we can first.
