My axiety now is not having something better to do. I love games, im a very social person, i can talk about almost anything with anyone.
I find myself in an endless loop of boredom. Im good with tools and love to create and fix things. I also like computers and my 2 dogs.
Since a couple months ago i started to feel kinda empty, its a long story. Quited my job, my girl left me, lost my car, i have a huge debt with my bank, moved againe with my parents, lost almost all my friends and cant find myself anymore on this grounds.
I kinda locked myself alone on my home, i cant find any reason to go outside anymore, i cant find anything interesting.
But the best part is that you will not find a more positive person on this side of the earth. Im always trying and i always will. But like i said, now im trapped in this boredom.
Thats my anxiety.

I am diagnosed with social anxiety, but i wouldnt say i have it anymore. Or, i have done well to get over my fears. My job has me do a lot of public speaking and interacting with new people, which has helped force me to confront fears. Im still awkward in small group settings, and i still get panick attacks here and there. Large crowds, driving etc. Its a journey, but its one we all take!

I have always had anxiety, still get it today.. It's more of an overwhelming type anxiety, where things build up and I feel like I'm drowning in an unimaginable amount of things I have to do or take care of with some sort of dead line. It happens with work and personal, in the car, with friends, with my wife.. It sucks, but I just try to power through it and think positively.
The thing that has worked the best for so far has been living my life for me. I choose what's important to me (logically) and everything else has to wait until I'm ready to get to it. I've learned you dont have to jump at every little thing that comes along to get it done. You can just do it one by one until they are done, there should never be a dead line for your happiness. Also, am quite and avid medical cannabis patient. It helps all these anxieties out a ton, helps me keep on track and not get too hung up in the day to day stresses that push me over the edge.

I found your steam group whilst googling how best to deal with anxiety in gaming and I decided to be brave (for me) and post about it. I don't really talk about my anxiety much as people who don't have it don't really understand it and just tell me I'm over reacting. My anxiety is linked to low self esteem. I always get worried about people judging me and not being good enough or failing people in some way. This can make me stressed over really stupid things like going to the shops or making a phone call, or if something doesn't go right for me (I once got extremely stressed when I followed a recipe wrong when baking). I also find it incredibly uncomfortable around people I don't know. I just don't know how to talk to people. I'm always worried about not good enough. I try to push myself every day, tell myself I'm just being irrational but I also have really bad days where something will set me off and I'll sit here thinking 'Am I a bad wife? I'm a useless person. I can't do anything.'
That is my anxiety.

Welcome aboard. Dont blame yourself. Saddly we dont have a TeamSpeak Server anymore to talk. Hope soon get a new one. But you did something very important, you writed about it and thats a big step. Gaming helps, at least for people like us, like a way to let ourself out in our own way and without the pressure of thinking what everyone will think about it or getting stressed about failing on it. Once againe, welcome. We also have a STEAM group we use to join others and play. steamcommunity.com/groups/socialagFeel free to join us there too. Cheers!

Thank you! I joined the steam group. To be honest, even gaming sometimes stresses me. I love mmorpgs, I play them as a form of escapism. Its actually how I met me husband. But I won't join group content with random people, I've had a lot of bad experiences where people have shouted at me for not being up to their standards or for dying a lot and letting the team down. Its why I won't go near competitive gaming either. I've got a little better in mmos, I found one with a nice community where there are less 'elite' gamers, but competitive gaming still gives me a lot of anxiety. I'm trying though. Since I met my husband our taste in gaming has differed. I still love my mmorpgs but he loves competitive games now, and whilst he tries games I like so we can game together, I'm still VERY reluctant to play the games he likes. I've been trying of course but its hard. As soon as someone starts shouting at me and telling me I suck because I've done something wrong or not what they wanted me to do it just sets me off and I'm completely put off a game. I know I shouldn't care what they think and just brush it off. Sometimes they're just being outright childish about it and I know that but I still get incredibly stressed by what they say and it ruins the game for me.

Hey Hoppystar!,
Sorry I haven't gotten back on time, work and life have been insane lately. Welcome aboard! You can totally check out our steam group for what we're up to and what's going on.
We are currently on a lull lately just because it's towards the end of year and everyone is pretty busy or quiet. I am thinking of opening up a new server or two, just looking for recommendations on what people would like to play together.
I am hosting a private 7 Days to Die server here whenever I'm online, and are welcome to join! I may see if I can fix my laptop to put the server back on it, it was having some overheating issues but hopefully I can fix it here soon!
Welcome aboard, nice to meet you! (I'm Josh btw)
