When you win 2nd place you beat yourself up about it because you almost won. But when you win 3rd, you dont get angry at yourself as much because you wouldve won second anyway.

It's known as the "silver medal paradox," where winning second place can feel worse than winning third place, due to higher expectations. Second place may highlight the missed opportunity for first place, while third place can still be seen as an achievement. The perception of just missing out on the top spot may lead to feelings of disappointment or regret.

You lied then told the truth and you still feel guilty why?
You may still feel guilty because that lie could have hurt someone. That someone could even be you. Telling the truth was the first step. Suffering the consequences is the second. Third: Forgiving yourself. -I disagree with the above. When you lied you did something wrong. Feeling guilty is a result of this. To not feel guilty you have to be truly sorry you did something wrong and ask forgiveness of the person you lied to. Asking forgiveness of God is something I would also recommend, as He doesn't hold with lying, and is more important than the person you lied to.
