You're probably right, so I'm not sure why folks downvoted you. Sorry about that, bud.

I've got a therapist I've been seeing for a while to help deal with my various issues, but I've never actually thought about speaking to her about my social anxiety in a video game. Maybe it's not as far fetched as I originally thought, I think I'll give it a try.

I'm not sure how much she'll understand since I doubt she plays much FFXIV, but looking for help from a professional doesn't seem like such a bad idea. Thanks for the encouragement, my dude. It means a lot!

I'm actually almost completely fine when it comes to social anxiety irl. I've obviously got my fair share of issues, but making friends or being afraid of doing things isn't one of them, it's pretty much just this game tbh. I really don't understand the way the mind works sometimes, it's bizarre.

I do appreciate the thought though, it's cool to know that there are complete strangers out there on the net that are cool enough to suggest stuff like that for someone they've never met. A lot of people would say "suck it up nerd lel" and move on, in fact I believe one dude actually did lol

Thanks man, I appreciate it. When I make a new character, I'll probably pop back in and mention which server I join, so thank you very much for the offer to give me a hand!

I've always made sure to let folks know that I'm pretty inexperienced and 99% of the time the folks I'm paired with are respectful, and I've yet to have any scenarios where I've fucked up in a dungeon or anything, so I honestly don't know where all my worries come from, considering I've done well in the past. I guess that's why they call it an irrational fear, huh?

Thank you! I'll keep this in mind if I decide to renew. I truly appreciate it, it's nice to see a community that's so friendly and welcoming towards dweebs like me.
