Why do heartbreaking losses stick with us more than great wins?

We all know as sports fans for some reasons the pain of losses stick with us longer than the joy of victory. Why do yall think that is?

Most people hate losing more than they like winning.

I think pain always sticks with us and affects us more than joy of winning.
Schools like Alabama probably don’t even care all that much that they win so often as the W’s probably all bleed together. Schools like yours and ours remember exactly where we were, how specific plays went down etc because it’s a rare occurrence
My .02 anyway

Kick Six in east Alabama was awful. It ended so fast. You walk outside having no clue what just happened and the neighbors are shooting guns off.
Also, I was in BDS for the Cam-Back by the Auburn band. Barn band playing reverse Rammer Jammer will always rank near the bottom of losing moments in Bryant Denny.
Not many regular season wins stick out as much as those two losses.

"What could have been".
It's because we are inherently greedy.

I get over losses very quickly. Must be that lifetime of being a MN sports fan.

Well for some of us, the former outweighs the latter by like 90%
My life is a blur of heartbreaking losses

With anything...the negative always outweighs the positive...

The chokes outweigh the victories.
I have seen 5 championship seasons in my lifetime, but 1985, Flea kicker, 2002 Super Bowl, and the notable Blues gag jobs are what keep me up at night.

BCS NC 2013 and the 2019 Final Four will be with me forever :(.

It's because people expect to win. Losing is more shocking even when you're the underdog.

With a win, you clear the table---a loss
and you leave something on it you can't get
back.

They don't for me.
2012 @ LSU for example is more firmly planted into my memory than the 2010 came back game.

One word. Expectations.

See I’m just the opposite. I am objective about what I see. I knew Bama couldn’t beat Clemson two years ago and knew it would take a Herculean effort to beat LSU this past year.

Arkansas, Ole Miss, and Missouri should start a support group. It is not just that we lose, it is that we have a noted tendency to lose in such a way as to destroy your will to live.

Refgate @Auburn 2006 is an abomination that I will never get over.
