Default Re: why does it hurt to lose?

It hurts to lose because you expect to win, and when you lose you feel powerless? So maybe shock and anger against life for screwing you?

It also could have something to do with testosterone levels...I read a while about a study where they measured levels in winners and losers and the losers had lowered levels of testosterone. So it's possible there is a biochemical process behind why it hurts.
