Is it normal to get upset about video game performance?

I plat lot's of cod. I'm not the best at mw3 but i class myself as a very high standard black ops player, my score per minute is over 450 and my k.d is 4.2 :)

If i do badly on black ops the anger/frustration and even sadness to some extent is frequent.

Tonight for example i suddenly couldnt play, i just went 4-15 and im genuinely upset about my performance. My accuracy just went to shit and i suddenly turned into a noob! Is it normal to be really frustrated about this? I play in a party with my mates and because im a good player i HATE doing badly infront of them.

    Sometimes you can have a bad game day. I've been through this myself. I can be really good at a game then another day i suddenly play like a noob. Happens sometimes but don't anger so much about it, relax. Another day you will play with a great performance again:)

    I feel this way when playing strategy games or games that require a lot of puzzle solving. I see it as a reflection of my intelligence so performing poorly leaves me feeling like a dumbass.lol

    Normal. I get frustrated and embarrassed when I perform poorly playing a video game.

    It happens but that is mostly when playing with people who are even better or if your not focused enough by me its not CoD though never played any of those games...
