i know exactly what you are talking about in sc: becoming a good sc player means working past that feeling. funny thing is: i was able to do that in one of my matchups (protoss vs terran) but not in my others (such as protoss vs zerg). it's as if i unconsciously don't fear terrans as much as a fear zerg. consequently, my win rate against those races is like 80-20 and 20-80, a very big difference.
