( Alright, I didn't expect this to trend, so please just privet message me if you wanna help. I want this to die down. [b]Please[/b]. )
TBH I don’t do raids at all and this is because of a lot of reasons.
I’m a really slow person so if you explain everything we’re doing before we do it, I won’t understand. Well.. I will, but my mind tries to trick me and make me think I don't. Too much information given to me makes it that way. As we do something I have to be told right then where to go and what to do. When to come back when to jump and no one really has the patience for that.
Every time I tried to do a raid I was stuck with assholes. Literally. Every. Time. So it's put kind of a mental scar and worry on my shoulders that it'll just keep happening. Someone screaming at someone else about something they did themselves or just being a dick to other people that was a lower light level then them and a bunch of other things… Obnoxious kids who scream and legit cry into the mic because they didn’t get to do what they wanted.
I have [i]severe[/i] anxiety when it comes to talking on mic especially in a group of three or more people.
I only have one person I play with on Destiny and they can hardly be on so i’m literally by myself 99.9% of the time.
I can’t stand being on mic, sometimes I get so panicky I almost have a breakdown.
My mind starts to race and listening to everyone have fun makes my brain try to feed me information that no one wants me there and that i’m a bother because I, [b]myself[/b], can’t make myself speak and join in with everyone unless i’m spoken to directly. (Not the entire time, I don't want to be the center of attention at all. Please n o, but i'm just saying I probably wont even say a peep unless someone speaks to me first )
If someone messes up in the raid I automatically think it’s my fault even if it isn’t and I feel like everyone is pointing fingers at me and hates me for some reason ???? Lmao idk why.
I want so much of the raid gear and my dad never really has time anymore to get on my account and do it for me. So I constantly feel left out in the Destiny community and “uncool” lmao
I'm a 20 yr and I hate how mental problems still gets in the way of my fun constantly. This is why I never really try to make friends on Destiny either because i'm afraid my mental problems will get in the way too much, but yeah. Really the only Raid i've been fully through was Vault of Glass before the light level was raised and actually I did just fine. I did everything we were suppose to correctly, again it's literally my mind that tries to deceive me. I think Crota would be easy, but I'd never know and i'm afraid I never will.
This is what it's like playing Destiny alone with Anxiety feels like. ( And please no negative comments if you have any. )

13 RepliesI don't do raids either cause I worry about everyone getting mad when I screw up, which I do a lot. I don't even turn on my mic and usually everyone leaves my team cause I drag them down. I also have this issue in real life which is why I don't do many social activities.

Hang in there. You sound awesome.
-
Hope you find a decent group mate soz am on xb1 or would have helped. Good luck am sure you will manage just fine. Everyone has to learn👍
-
Who needs to raid though when you can hula

Listen up and everyone here as well. There are groups out there, like mine, that only care about one thing and that is to take any Guardian on XB1 through any raid and help them get loot. We do it purely to hear the joy in their voice. Not joking. As an example, tonight we are offering Templar and Atheon carries. http://tinyurl.com/VoGMadnessForm-April Anyone interested, that is the sign up sheet. It's 100% free because we just want people to feel the joy we did when knocking out raids. We carried 30 Guardians through Deathsingers and Crota last Monday. Tonight is part two of VoG, next week is Kings Fall and week after is WoTM. Sound too good to be true? Nope. Only two requirements. 1. Listen to direction. 2. Have fun. We have a good sized group on our discord server and have full time Sherpas usually ready to go every night. Join us at this link https://discord.gg/jSgEVR7. We are adults who love raiding and cracking jokes, so come farm some loot with us!

Edited by KNIGHTofLIGHT I: 4/11/2017 5:12:00 AMWish I could help you out man. I'm on Xbox though. I really hope you find a good and understanding group. Have a blessed day/night/time of day. :D (I'm gonna leave this here. Just wanted to show some support.)
-
Hey man if you ever do wanna group up and take an attempt at the raid i can definately go through it with ya or anygroup activity lol i like playing casual and laidback same with my clan no one points fingers we usually go in with the mindset that all of us are gonna make a ton of mistakes if you want add me my gt is above for xbox.

4 RepliesDestiny needs a safe space in the game. So when players get stressed out they can take their Guardians to a room in the tower where they unequip weapons, can color, take naps, and pet puppies. I think it's really a good idea and Bungie should accommodate all players.

2 RepliesSoooo they're dicks because they don't want you because you can't grasp simple concepts

1 Reply[quote]( Alright, I didn't expect this to trend, so please just privet message me if you wanna help. I want this to die down. [b]Please[/b]. ) You lost me right here. Don't look for attention and complain when you get it. Read 'Little Boy Cried Wolf'. Some of us really do reach out to help others, here and in real life, and with that experience can read between the lines. I call BS on this edit. Unlike others, I stand by what I type. GT sandboxer57. Hope you find what you're looking for. Many of us are out there to help, but don't have time for drama. Now if you'll excuse, I'm gonna take a proper ass whuppin' in Skirmish. Semper Fi!

You can always raid with my crew. The only people we have ever kicked were people that were yelling at other people. And also one dude that was ordering a pizza for like 30mins while we were raiding. I have no idea why it took him so long but he just kept going and going. Add DrVentricle on PS4
-
3 RepliesIm the same with the anxiety, I stutter and freeze up all the time lol. I try not to use my mic because I actually know what to do and when to do it, but most ppl get real pissed.
-
If you want to do a raid msg me at my GT above (Xbox), we could find some cool people and get you through no problem. I'm on every day after school and the weekends usually. Doesn't matter how long it takes we can get you some cool gear (Shouldn't be hard).
-
Add me ill save you from squeakers and shitty players
-
2 RepliesI can relate. I have social anxiety and don't like using a mic. I've completed Crota and VoG using lfg. Most groups don't mind, although I've noticed the blame gets passed to the quiet member when there's a wipe.
-
Dude honestly your getting way to sensitive over a game if the raid is not for u it's not for u. Just believe in yourself and watch videos on how to do it. You can't expect to get something done if u don't know how to do it.
-
-
Im sorry that you get stuck in those situations. But why dont you just watch one of the several videos on youtube that clearly explain what to do. I find it hard to feel bad for people like you because you want people who are patient enough to teach everything to you, but you dont want to take the time to teach yourself.
-
Maybe it's a sign to get off the games and integrate with the world. Social anxiety should not be a thing. But when you hibernate all your life and refuse to take part in this thing called life, your mind will grow accustomed to being alone and it's not healthy. Truth hurts.
-
YOU'VE AWOKEN THE TROLLS!!! But in all seriousness, I know where you're coming from. The destiny player base is one part cool four parts cunts when it comes to lfg. When you do find those cool and friendly people that show understanding and are there to both complete and have fun in the raids, then you are prettty much set. The social anxiety is something I can't help with because like you, I now how hard it is to actually start talking. But again if you find those friendly guys then you'll feel a lot better during the games.

Edited by SINECURE53: 4/10/2017 9:28:16 AMMan there is always jerks when you pair up with randoms in any activity. Just chill and try your best. Look up datto does destiny in you tune if you dont know who he is. Hes the best at explaining raid mechanics and such. The more you prepare yourself the more confident you will be. Preperation=confidence. I have a family member who suffers from learning disabilities and its always a work in progress. At the end of the day its just a game. Good luck.

Edited by xoEZEKIELox_TTV: 4/10/2017 12:45:46 PMAnytime you want to raid you can send me a friend request and i wil add you. My clan raids all the time and we are really cool ppl i would like to help you complete not one but all the raids my gamertag is xoEZEKIELox

2 RepliesI never use a mic when raiding and, luckily, I have found groups of people who have let me join in and remain silent. It's hard to find on LFG, but there are some very accommodating players. But, I understand the OP's concerns very well; we're in similar boats.
-
Bro add me , I will help you out with raids no worry and I'm sure my friends would help you too were not judgmental were very casual likeminded guys that like to do everything in destiny
-
you may think iam being a d*ck.. or joking or something but seriously... try weed man.. Just ask the Surgeon General. It HELPS.
-
I don't use a mic (not because of anxiety but for other issues) I have 3 other buds that I raid with (and I know them in real life) were pretty competent players and can probably do every raid. If you can get on mic we could help you through one whenever we do it?
