Is 5.0 pickleball even fun anymore?

I’m closer to a 4.0 now and am still able to laugh at myself when I make mistakes during rec. 4.0s still make a ton of stupid mistakes so I don’t feel too bad but at times I do feel dumb for hitting a low percentage shot type.

At 5.0, I feel like making a stupid mistake, would make you feel like a complete idiot. I never see 5.0s laugh when they play. Is it even fun anymore that level? Lol
