Kimeo, in my experience the type of self respect that doesn't need boasting and reassurance is the type that's earned by overcoming real world problems. These games limit the opportunities to overcome real world obstacles by taking time away from the real world. This is no big deal in moderate doses, but if they are played too many hours there simply isn't enough time in the day.

Maybe what this young guy needs is someone to take him under their wing and help him harness his competitiveness for things that will build his self respect. If you don't have the time yourself, maybe one of your shooting buddies?
