Social Anxiety Online

Does anyone else experience social anxiety in a way that it prevents them from playing games online in general?

Pic unrelated

Sword Art Online?

Lol what. What are you afraid if? Just speak.

Uhhh no, what are you....gay?

yes

I hate having an identity in online games and communities in general. It makes me fear that one day I'll stumble upon an autist who won't stop harassing me. That's why I only use Sup Forums.

No... Online games helped me overcome a lot of social anxiety. I'm still a really fucking shy person mind you, but I can function in the real world.

Yes. And then you realise that many of the players you're afraid of are half your age.

I guess my ego is my biggest problem. I want to be great but can't be great unless I practice, but I can't practice unless I play.

like what, quoting the wrong dude here on Sup Forums and being really fucking embarassed so you just feel like killing yourself so you leave the thread early and dont even wait for the replies to your post?

Make another nick. It's not that hard.

>WoW
>be in shitty group with an awful tank
>go to bitch about them in guild chat
>type out several scalding messages
>notice I forgot to switch to guild chat
>literally told the tank to his face and in front of the whole party that he was a worthless piece of shit
>miraculously don't get kicked from the group
>they even let me have the good loot from the dungeon we were running

I actually felt kind of bad afterward :/

post more Kirino pls

Yes. Every time I try to join an online group in a game I pretty much get fucked by the Chads of the group. I just avoid all human interaction now, normies have ruined even the internet

I couldn't play any game with VC or team based games.

The only multiplayer games I play are fighting games, and even then, sometimes I get so nervous I sweat and fumble my inputs.

Kirino a shit

A SHIT

I have no problems but I know that a friend of mine has this. She doesn't wantt to play online games even with her friends....

But just go healer. Everyone appreciates healer.

I don't like MMOs and I've played so little FPS I'd fug up

I'm so anxious on online MOBAs that i fuck up things i can easily do on co-op against AIs.
Also i main supp because nobody expect the supp to do things.

Alcohol helps, at least until you get back on the next day and people try keeping contact

>being a social outcast even on the internet
Are you for real or just baiting? It's like baby-easy mode for people like you.

>4 years later
>Man-Am-I fags still salty as ever

Yeah. People said I'd get used to using a mic, but it always remained uncomfortable.

I can get stressed in pvp, especially during longer matches in Dota 2. I think it's natural when you are not used to competitive gameplay.

People being unable to press the big orange play button has been an ongoing theme in old sc2 general threads as well.

>SAO

Fuck off best girl

If it has a chat/mic support & people are actively trying to talk then yes.

>*unmutes mic to cough*

...

Yeah but that's because I have a weirdly deep voice where I really have to put effort into not sounding boring and monotone as fuck

Also Kirino best girl

>SAO logo conveniently looks like a benis
