I am starting to think it is like Makeda says - being the limelight position is just stressful and not for everybody.
Definitely true! I was lucky that I learned the basics of tanking back in WoW playing a tank alt while other tanks from my guild coached me on their alts. It made the learning curve very gentle and I didn't have to stress out over mistakes. I was able to hit the ground running here and still haven't had a bad experience yet. I'll probably never shake a bit of tank anxiety I feel with random groups, but it does keep me sharp.
