I feel the same thing. I'm a break even to slightly winning cash game player AND it stresses me to no end when things go poorly and I definitely compound it through tilt.
SNG give me the same feeling as tournaments. Also lets me play braver which is a big leak of mine getting too tight when I'm losing, rather than too spewy. Makes me much less on my big hands and compounds the losing.
This seems no different than game selection to me. I realize it's where my strengths are and ultimately I play this game because I want to win, from a game theory perspective, not monetarily. Cash games can fluctuate so quickly and it just is jarring to my brain, I think. I hope this makes sense typed as much as in my head.
