Why do so many FF XIV players have anxiety??

[Nora_of_Mira]

OP is on my ignored list but i forgot why, then I opened this thread. lmao

They dont.
Anxiety is mental disorder associated with physical symptoms through panic attacks, depression, chest pain, vertigo and etc. this is being treated with drugs by medical professionals.
Playing game is not going to trigger anxiety disorder, especially FFXIV, people are just oversensitive and think being nervous is anxiety disorder.

Way to go from 0-100, no one is saying they have a disorder. You can get anxious without having a medical condition and still call something related to it as "tank anxiety".

Tank is the role where your skill or lack thereof is the most obvious. Rather than be silently critiqued if I'm using cooldowns wrong or using the right rotation, I'd rather just heal or DPS.

You're on something all right, but I don't think it's nerve pills...

This is a word misuse imo.

no one is silently critiquing you tho, that's in your head. As long as you're using your cooldowns and using aoe when you should be, you're fine. :v

This is why we don't feed trolls.

>_> that isn't trolling, that is literally all it takes. Use your cooldowns at appropriate times and make sure you're using aoe when you've got 3+ mobs. I mean I can't speak to savage stuff, but everything else in the game is very doable on tank as long as you pay attention. They have the simplest rotations in the game outside of healers.

Don't stress it. You can do it. No one is judging you. :v

I'll add that I tank, heal and DPS.

The reason I see your follow up to be trolling is that is that it is fairly well known that one of bigger pet peeves for anybody with a mental issue is being told "it's in all your head" and is often considered to be very unhelpful. Trolls of course can find nuance in their trolling by using language they know will get a hit and when challenged they are free to play the semantics game. Given this thread has approached anxiety as both a feeling and as a disorder, it is plausible you'd try to get hits there.

You made a previous post suggesting you are being medicated for an anxiety problem, whilst showing a lack of understanding of anxiety.

And your history of troll posts doesn't help, otherwise I might be more likely to give the benefit of the doubt.

Not gonna lie I got some anxiety even logging into the forums today. It's too scary uwu;
