Struggling with the mental game

I let so much shit get to me. I think partially cause I don't think of myself as a competitive player. I mainly just play for fun, though I would like to get better, and part of that is tech, but I feel like my bigger issue is getting irritated with a lot of play styles.

Whenever I think someone is intentionally trying to tilt me, I just like lose interest in playing and start fumbling. I played a Flaco several ranks below me who (literally) all they did was spot dodge and then wait for an opportunity to down smash. That was their entire game plan. Took like seven minutes, and I won, but the mental energy it took out of me was absolutely stupid. I just start thinking like why is this fun for someone. I only have so much time I get to play, I don't want to eat up a chunk of that trying to find someone to play who isn't totally annoying. To do that repeatedly and then every time it works taunt, like fuck man I just want to have fun lol. Does anyone else struggle with this/have any tips?
