Some of us out there have really bad social anxiety and using mics to communicate can be unbearable. Im having trouble getting a team for Trial of Osiris because everyone wants me to use my mic and i don't. Anyone else out there that's really shy about communication,how do you deal with it?what works for you?share your thoughts/experiences here.

I'm really shy but I feel 'free' when I play with people I don't know. Use a mic and have fun for a few hours with nice people.

Smoke some weed ^.^ you start laughing you'll start talking haha.
-
Don't worry dude, I'm the same. I've had anxiety for years and some people don't understand. Luckily I play online with my brother so he does the talking for me. Anyone on PS3 can add me (same PSN as here) but please bare with me until I gain confidence :P
-
I think you should tell them that you don't like talking to people you never met ( your anxiety) and if they are understanding stay, but if there not leave
-
Nah, I don't have any problems communicating. Just answer questions if asked, yes and no, just easy stuff. No need to start conversations or anything.

WELL I LIKE TALKING TO BALLS

I honestly wouldve had empathy for you but honestly with a name like that, you'd just be random #73021 in the raiding party I'd only carry for rockets on Crota and then you get the boot after.

I typically start off with some crappy joke in order to break the ice. If they laugh then it's all good. Yet if they stay silent I acknowledge how bad the joke was and only talk when it's important

Join my clan, no mic needed! #citizensoftheworld

Not shy but sometimes I don't feel like talking to people when I'm relaxing which is what I'm doing when I play games relaxing

Unfortunately squeakers be everywhere, and RIP Mic users when you get paired with one.

Nope not personally, I like to chat with others that are down, Ill just talk about the game, if no one wqant to talk or is like this I just let them be and do their own thing, I do hate when i talk or give a tip or answer questions and people blow e off, then a minute later someone says the same thing or repeats what i say and everyone is like omg good idea or oh now I get it, come on people dont be a d!(#

Wanna play trials? No mic needed
-

Your name is swampass lmao
-
Love your name

Edited by oo Snicklefritz: 5/23/2015 5:07:53 PMI have soc anx as well, but I find it much easier to communicate through a mic with someone I'll never meet. Guess yours a little more severe than mine!
-
During Trials, you really need to have everyone using mics to communicate effectively. Having a teammate call out an enemy flanking can decide a match's outcome.
-
I never said a word and went 9-0 with a random team
-
I just say whatever during a match of PVP or a strike
-
Wouldn't this be the easiest way of communicating? No face to face, don't know who you are...
-
Communication is key. Plus its over a mic not in person. First time using radio was nervous in Korea. After a few times I relaxed.

Just ball up. Put it on. All u gotta do is listen for call outs. And then call out what u got goin on. Dont look at it as a social experience if thats what bothers u. Look at it as a fireteam experience. Cuz pros ant got time for the chitter chatter any wat. Most. Of the time me and my friends don't talk at all during events raids n bounties. Love having team mates that can read me and i can read them. Dont sweat it bro ull meet tye right ppl one day. If ya need some help just ask. I and a few ppl i know can help ya.
