Autism and introverts in activities with no matchmaking
Don't be afraid to look for people to play with! It can lead to new friends, a lot of inside jokes, experience in socialising and raid loot!
Destiny 2 is a very good place to get over your social anxieties. Thank you Bungie.

Sadly it’s not this easy I was lucky enough to meet my best friend on destiny but that was an extremely odd case

Bungie literally designed Destiny to exclude those people, so that you'd bring people you know into the game to spend time and money in. It's a scam. This is why you encounter so many toxic people because you aren't given an alternative and the game caters to that sort of personality.

2 RepliesNo it's not.. It has zero social functionality outside begging on LFG. Then 90% of the time ppl are so toxic that you don't even bother. I only find it in this game to this extreme. Hell in other MMOs or group style game most ppl are more than happy to help.. not here. The game has never been about being social in game. It's 100% ment to be social online to push free advertising.

I did a Sherpa of DSC with a full group of grown men with stuff like serious diagnosed ADHD and Autism it was actually super fun.

14 RepliesI have pretty severe, diagnosed, social anxiety. I also suffer from diagnosed moderate performance anxiety and diagnosed moderate “general” anxiety. There really isn’t any “getting over” social anxieties. It is a life-long struggle.

It's not social anx that's my problem, I just don't like people.

Edited by Hunter-Max99: 6/17/2021 11:52:56 AMShyness and social anxiety has nothing to to with being introverted. Saying stuff like that puts introverted people into a negative light.

I will team up when needs be, no problem there what so ever but i won’t talk.

13 RepliesI have extreme social anxiety and adhd. For the first time since destiny started I joined a clan even though I usually get 4 or 5 clan invites a week. The only reason I joined was because I messaged him to explain about my problems and he was nice, then asked if I had a mic and I said yes. He asked if I used it and I said yes but I am usually quiet until I really feel comfortable with people. He said great. I said the only thing is because of my anxiety I won’t ever ask you to help me do a raid or anything but he would have to invite me and he said he understood and I said I would join. That was before vog came out. I see them doing it every week but have never been invited so I haven’t even got to beat it. I made a post on the fireteam to get the first 3 chests because I knew I wouldn’t need a mic but that was the first week. I haven’t even bothered since. It’s depressing so just because someone says something doesn’t make it true. So the only reason I haven’t dropped the clan is so I can use them for the engrams otherwise I would bail in a second.

Destiny 2 is a very good place to get over your social anxieties. Thank you Bungie.[/quote] As someone who has anxiety and depression... Its not as easy as everyone makes it out to be. If you haven't been in our shoes you have no clue, some people act like they know EXACTLY what it's like when they have never experienced it. But... I have met many people in d1 from launch. Many friends have been made indirectly because they liked my playstyle. In every game I've always played the ( take my orbs I generated or so help me god I'll do it again until you get the memo.) The people I met never saw a guardian sacrifice their super, abilities ect in a supportive fashion, as a hunter.

Edited by biigt96: 6/16/2021 5:56:36 PMAgreed but for others it's different, raiding actually helped with me being to antisocial and being to scared to raid alone.

Imma solo everything that’s possible to solo People are annoying
-
5 RepliesI'm on the spectrum and it really hasn't helped. I was able to do raids only if I had the easiest job, I haven't tried VoG and I don't think I will. Game has been more enjoyable for me alone.

No offense but I'll stick to seeing my shrink.

Depends on the person. My oldest has austism and he has no issues whatsoever ever in talking to people and making friends. I on the other hand am quite content being anti-social.

5 RepliesNew ppl usually yell at me in between taking vape hits.
