Emptiness of success
I played one season of fantasy hockey, and ended up with a team of future Hall of Famers entirely by accident. That's where I learned most of what I know.
I was crushing the league and getting more and more insufferable.
In the playoffs, I began posting messages to the team chat expressing the emptiness I felt because my success had no end in sight. I promptly lost and was not asked to return the next season.
