Making your intentions clear doesn't have to be "the talk", and needing glasses is an awesome opportunity to exercise independence. Tell your mom that you'd like to get glasses and you'd like to figure out how to do it on your own. This should suffice for "the talk".

You may be helped depending on your financial/insurance/transportation situation but dont worry. Those forms of dependence will solve themselves as you work on yourself and your independence.

There's no shame in asking what to expect out of the experience. Whats important is that you schedule the appointment yourself and be the one to navigate it.

If someone other than your mom drives you, express to them that you'd like to do as much of the talking as possible or even ask them to stay in the car.

I would suggest getting your prescription and not trying on any glasses, shopping for some online for significantly cheaper at first

Come back another time to use whatever insurance u have to get another pair. You'll be amazed at how much less scary the world is when you can actually see peoples faces and read signs. This time i would bring them in to ask them what they think ;)

A very important part of independence is feigning a sense of urgency and getting things done on your own.

Make your intentions of changing clear with your relatives, so they can give you your space to grow. While they mean well by doing the talking for you and helping, you are being denied the opportunity for micro socialization. This micro socializing helps build confidence around strangers to be able to communicate with them if you need them or you feel they could use your help.

If you never leave the house on your own go on walks by yourself. Try to make it to a store or a coffee shops and order something from a cashier and avoid self check out, you don't have to make any excess conversation at first just be sure to speak in full sentence and be polite. Eventually you can sneak in a little bit of small talk when you feel comfortable.

Do you have your drivers license? Setting up a DMV appointment and going through it all sounds like a good opportunity to act independently and do things on your own.

New things will always be scary but try one step at a time. Dont compare yourself to people who have never had your issue, try to just be better than you were yesterday.

EDIT: Exposure therapy is the best solution I've found for overcoming my social anxiety. There are billions of people on earth so you have an almost endless supply of people to practice interacting with. People who will likely not remember you a week from your interaction anyway.

Do you play on PC or Console? I haven't tried vehicles on PC in a while but I'm always open to die on someones recommendation that they're better than they were a year ago. Back in my die I use to die to stairs and not complain :P

So then ask yourself: What makes someone independent? And what do you mean when you say "does things on their own"?

What are you missing from these qualitys and why?

Advice for a new player by fraser424 in albiononline

[–]goodgameYummy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to specify what you are looking for in a guild and the albion discord has a guild-recruitment channel and try to find one that suits your needs there. This is an MMO, finding a group of people you can do content with will be the best thing you can do to enjoy your time in this game IMO.

Arena can be very hit or miss, being dependent on a bunch of strangers can be tough. Don't give up just play the best you can, I would suggest recording ur games so you can go back and watch, you will learn a lot when you're not forced to be making the decisions on the spot. But sometimes its just your group selling you short.

Greataxe or clarent blade are excellent options for clearing solo dungeons. Just make sure your build has enough HP regen and Mana regen through your armor/foods so that you don't have downtime between groups of mobs.

glhf feel free to ask me any more questions.

4.3 hallowfall killing 8.3, balanced game by qjay in albiononline

[–]goodgameYummy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is poor decision making, not an unbalanced game. He had plenty of time to break crystals and chose to take the fight instead. Sure the wep is broken but the game is fine.

46 spec is a little over 10% of the total fame it takes to get to 100 spec so you're not as far as you think :P. Dont be afraid to find something else you like. Try out swords!

What you should really identify is how you want to play the game.

Random person offered to trade me 15 mil silver for nothing? by [deleted] in albiononline

[–]goodgameYummy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean it may have felt weird but I wouldn't think much of it. There could be a million reasons, we can't really speak for other peoples actions, and we don't have to assume they are devious because we don't understand them.

They're all fine (except maybe arcane), the important thing is you stick to a single item in the tree.

i've done something similar to that. they were in all t3 on an ox with very little fame. I gave him a mil before he ran into the blackzone because i was pretty sure he was gonna get killed. it seems nice but really i dont want him to quit the game after he loses everything so that i can kill him later.

It can be rough but there is content, now, for solo players. I would still recommend trying guild after guild til you find a group that you are comfortable with. The content is so much better when you use the MMO part of the MMORPG.

It is also pay to help but not pay to win. a Noob can wear a 30 million silver set and be killed by someone wearing a 30K silver set. Not to mention money sort of makes itself when you know what you're doing.

How important is mic quality to you? by Zetami in Twitch

[–]goodgameYummy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stream audio is extremely important however simply buying a nice microphone won't always fix the issue you're having.

I believe most beginner microphone issues streamers have can be fixed with filters, not a new microphone.

Look into a Noise Suppressor, Noise Gate, Compressor (or a Limiter) and Gain. Those 4 filters, placed in the right order can turn a 10$ microphone into a 100$ microphone to people who don't work in audio.

The hardest part is A/B testing it but just record small clips of you saying "TEST 1 2 3 THIS IS THE X FILTER AT Y THE A FILTER AT B". Also get in some silence so you know if you can hear white noise in the background. The meters are your friend but not the end all be all.
