As a beginner/intermediate in the game, it's the massive ups and downs, and the lack of long-term consistency.

It can sometimes really get to me when I'm having an off day, bombing every single interaction I get into, knowing that maybe just a couple days ago I was on fire, bulletproof in every single thing I said or did.

Then again, I stop feeling down when I remember that just a year and a half ago, something as simple as making a cute girl smile would have made my day.

When you're on a long journey, sometimes you get bogged down in how much further you still need to go, when sometimes you need to remember how far you are from where you started.
