Good thing there isn't a lot of things I care for or invest my time into.
That's not something you should feel a sense of superiority for.
As for the OP, being a fan of a team creates a sense of belonging to a group. You form an emotional attachment and when that group doesn't achieve its goal you feel like you failed as well. I don't feel as intensely about it now, I've become somewhat jaded over the years and I already witnessed my team have one of the greatest runs in sport history so I have to be realistic about how long one team can sustain success, but high stakes losses still put me in a poor mood.
