>tfw can only play games in single player because online mode gives me social anxiety
how do you guys do it? fucking normies
>>379003801
>social anxiety
No such thing.
>>379003801
It's called: Not running away from your problems. Fucking pick yourself up you loser.
I don't see how it can be social anxiety if it's a bunch of randos online. Maybe you're just broken
>>379003801
Don't feel bad, you're avoiding a lot of cancer.
I trashtalk to people, both chat and voice and I love every bit of it.
Ever heard "like wrestling pig in mid put - you're exhausted, dirty, angry and the pig actually enjoyed it"? I'm the pig. I'm bydlo. And I love being one in a game.
>>379003801
>social anxiety
No, it gives me a fear of being decimated/tormented. Which isn't even a fear at this point, it's the guaranteed results.
I never played online because my accent is horrible due to me never speaking English.
Good for you, multiplayer sucks. Play videogames to chill: either play with friends you get along with or just play alone. Playing with random people is cancer and you shouldn't contaminate your hobby with that.

Anxiety exists
Social situations exist.
Being anxious about social situations is a definite possibility and a I dare something even the most charismatic alpha bro has felt at some point.
Now Imagine these anxieties coalesce and become mental blocks where a person automatically stops them self from engaging in social situations out of the aforementioned anxiety. It exists, thank you for playing.
>>379003801
Not social anxiety, but i'm bad at games, so i refrain to single player. Also, i'm too poor to pay for PS+, and i don't want to support that scam. Finally, my laptop and my internet connection are shit, the only time i've tried online gaming was Arkham Origins, and i couldn't even move without the game keep crashing and shit.
>>379003801
here's how I do it
>spend a week psyching myself up to do it
>play 1 game
>realize that I'm shit, but that's ok, because I'm a scrub and the game has matched me against scrubs
>play worry free for the rest of my game time
just play 1 match anon
>>379003801
How the fuck does anonymous interactions give you anxiety? I get being nervous at a party or job interview, but on the internet? How the fuck?

>>379006238

Stop being a wimp you fucking spineless loser
>>379006238
people are just as much machines as the computer you're using right now
>>379006393

>>379003801

>>379005024
Nice blog
Go back to Tumblr you diseased filth
>>379003801
honestly even when I was afraid I still did it
>>379003801
shout down on them, be crazy, nowadays you can bother randoms in a game 24/7 so get to it, buy the ticket, start to improve, harass those mafaks, bring down the neet filth, bring chaos, REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>379003970
just say those problems are lil bitches you are gonna fuck mentally, power thru!
>>379003801
I have social anxiety and I play online games
You don't have to talk to people, just play
>>379006238
Many of my friends are like this. Personally I'm the opposite, multiplayer games where you grind "results" feel like a treadmill designed to keep me there and make me buy something again and again, I don't like that. It's a cheap and easy way to hook people and keep milking them with minimal effort. I dislike it for the same reasons I dislike marketing I suppose.
I'll rather play a well crafted singleplayer experience anyday.
>>379006635
Thanks for the compliment on my post, I only get fap images from tumblr so I'll have to decline the second offer friend.
I do this too, especially when I fuck up a lot and feel kind of in everyone's way, which makes me never git gud
>>379003801
You're online NOW, faggotron
You have complete and total autism
>>379008043
Hey, I have autism and I have no problems playing online.
I get banned from pretty much everywhere because the stuff I enjoy seems to offend others, but I suppose it can't be helped. It's fun while it lasts.
>>379003801
just don't use a mic
>>379005024
Doesn't exist.
What you're describing isn't social anxiety, it's just being a beta faggot.
Thanks for not playing, cuck.
>>379004659
Get better by playing more.
>tfw prefer to browse /v/ than actually play games because it requires less effort
>>379003801
>hey get on mic anon!
>>379005024
I like how you use a nice little classification to hide behind so you don't have to harden up and try to improve yourself.
>>379012256
This. Mental illness is a meme.
People you meet online aren't even real people. They're all puppets of a massive, socially-designed synthetic intelligence built to cultivate memes and affect the collective unconscious.
>>379003801
I used to feel this way when I playedusing my real name
>>379015005
>friend installed steam like 7 years ago
>set his name as simply "Liam"
>it's still Liam today
>>379012256
I didn't say I had it I said it exists.
>>379003801
Online games and social games are for women and faggots pretending to be woman, you lose nothing.
I don't play multiplayer anymore because it just feels like a pointless exercise at anger management. I like my games to have a logical beginning, middle, and end
>>379015881
plot twist: friend's name isn't Liam
Pop an ativan my man.
Or alternatively take a ritalin or adderall. It'll make you chatty and focused.
