Ronda Rousey had suicidal thoughts after suffering loss to Holly Holm

[stirs]

Offseason I presume

I love the hypothetical angst about a perceived response or lack of response on something you can't quantify but by God someone is going to try and make it seem tangible.

Well in spirit of discussion losing in boxing is different then losing in a team sport. You are essentially fighting for your life , your pride and your self worth every time you step in the ring. I would imagine it's a much more personal feeling than losing a team game.

RR is obviously a narcissist, so defeat is going to wreck her in a way that it might not others. If you're interested in learning about how to identify a narcissist there are plenty of books on the subject, but here is a bit of information:

"People with narcissistic personality disorder are characterized by exaggerated feelings of self-importance. They have a sense of entitlement and demonstrate grandiosity in their beliefs and behavior. They have a strong need for admiration, but lack feelings of empathy.^[3]

DSM-5

Symptoms of this disorder, as defined by the DSM-5, include:^[4]

A. Significant impairments in personality functioning manifested by:

1. Impairments in self functioning (a or b):

a. Identity: Excessive reference to others for self-definition and self-esteem regulation; exaggerated self-appraisal may be inflated or deflated, or vacillate between extremes; emotional regulation mirrors fluctuations in self-esteem.

b. Self-direction: Goal-setting is based on gaining approval from others; personal standards are unreasonably high in order to see oneself as exceptional, or too low based on a sense of entitlement; often unaware of own motivations.

 

1. Has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements).
2. Is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love.
3. Believes that he or she is “special” and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions).
4. Requires excessive admiration.
5. Has a sense of entitlement, i.e., unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations.
6. Is inter-personally exploitative, i.e., takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends.
7. Lacks empathy: is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others.
8. Is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him or her.
9. Shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes."

I feel like suicidal thoughts is a more sympathetic position than a sore loser.

Oh gosh no. For example Thomas Davis is not.
