Tanxiety is very real. It took me a while to overcome it. I tried tanking in other games and was flamed for pulling too slow, too fast, not the right way, everything. NOT advised. Just cursed at constantly. Thus, I became scared to even touch the role and it took me months of playing XIV to even touch the role. No, tanking isn't hard, but it's a lot of responsibility and if you come from games where people yell at you for every small mistake, being anxious is perfectly understandable.
