Anxiety

[Jeeqbit]

How the hell is this real?

If you really don't understand it then I suppose you're just unique. Going through life never having any fear or hesitation whatsoever. Most people aren't like that.

How can people unironically get so anxious they freak out at the thought of having to heal Sastasha?

Because they are unaware of how easy it is because they are new. It is also not just the healing that makes them anxious, but the fear of how people will treat them if they do it wrong and let someone die.

Why do people get overwhelmed so much in this game?

Because casual. They don't know every little detail of the game like you. Their /playtime is on average under 300 days.

I find this to be particularly true for those that are coming from games where seeing people regularly and viciously attacked for the slightest mistake is common.

I know it was true for me when I tried healing.

Maybe this works for you. It does not work for everyone.

maybe they need to turn down the neuroticism button on their personality cortex

just ignore them?

While this is easy to say, DOING it is something else entirely.

Ignoring what others think of you requires strength of will, something many young people have yet to accomplish. Also the whole 'peer pressure' thing of looking good and proving yourself factors into the difficulty. Thus anxiety rears its ugly head in their minds and thoughts.

As one gets older and more experienced in life, it gets far easier to accomplish this, ie: not caring what others think of you or caring how they treat you. You are who you are and they can either take it or leave it.
