Tankxiety is only caused by inexperienced tanks not realizing they're the least important role in normal. Once the tank comes to realize this, everything falls into place.At level 50 something it's entirely possible to have only done maybe 6 dngns TOTAL. Source: Literally my PLD. I get massive tanxiety entering into dungeons because having only participated in like 6 total, I still don't have a proper rotation, I may not know the dngn well enough to pull more than 3-6 mobs at a time, and there's a massive expectation to be "the best" as a tank. Also telling someone to "take a pill" is considered rude. It might not seem so to you, you might have the most compassionate of intentions, but it is. Tanxiety isn't an anxiety disorder, it's not something you just take meds for and voila, you're better - it's a normal response to doing something new that you *want* to enjoy and that you don't want to be seen as a *failure* by others.
