A natural way to answer
I'd tell them to keep some perspective. Losing isn't a reflection of your worth, it's just part of playing. Focus on enjoying the time with people rather than only on the result.
Key phrases to use
- take it on the chin — to accept something difficult or unpleasant without complaining“He lost badly but took it on the chin.”
- take a joke — to accept being teased or laughed at without getting upset“If you can't take a joke, don't play with us.”
