I don't think this is true. I don't think you do either from your post.
You're a step ahead because at least you know what your problem is. It's psychological - and maybe ego. You just have to have some humility (but not so much that you call yourself a joke.) The psychological part is probably the hardest part of the game, specifically dealing with bad beats and not making subsequent bad decisions because of them. I know that's the hardest part for me. But if you can control it, it can be an edge. A lot of times when I get to the end of a SNG it's me and someone way better than me, but if my mind is right, I win anyway. Just because I drop the ego, admit I'm outclassed and plug away waiting for them to make a mistake.
I personally believe that if you know how to play poker, and you practice bankroll management, you can't go broke. Lose money, move down, simple.
Also you have too many "if only's" "if I had just.."
Useless.
