🤫 Trader Confession #19: Why Do I Always Wanna Short When It Pumps?

Dear crypto gods,
I have a problem.

Every time a chart turns green and candles go brrrr…
My brain goes:

“It’s too high. Can’t go higher. Time to short.”
I am the resistance.
I am the market top.

And then…
it pumps another 15%.
Liquidation sound: 💥
Wallet: R.I.P.
Ego: shattered.
And I do it all again next week.

⸻

🧠 Why am I like this?
• I missed the entry. Now I’m bitter and want revenge.
• I can’t stand seeing others win. “If I didn’t win, no one should.”
• I short to feel special. Like I know something the peasants don’t.
• That one time I shorted the top… the dopamine rush changed me forever.

⸻

🤡 The logic of my brain:
• “It’s up 200% already — surely it must crash now.”
• “Green = scam.”
• “Smart money exits here. (I am smart money.)”
• Spoiler: I’m not.

⸻

🛑 What I should actually do:

✅ Wait for real reversal signs (not just vibes)
✅ Respect the trend — don’t fight green candles with emotions
✅ Accept that I missed the move. Move on.
✅ Go outside. Touch some grass.

⸻

🔚 Final words:

Shorting a strong uptrend without a plan isn’t trading.
It’s just emotional damage with leverage.

Signed,
A reformed degenerate who will probably do it again tomorrow.
