Is it possible to put too much pressure on yourself?

[MetalSnakeXI1]

Having gotten involved in some discussions lately, I have to ask, is there such a thing as putting too much pressure on yourself? This started in another thread, but I didn't want to take away from current discussions, so here I am. Under my pen standards for myself, I'm averaging about 5.3k in damage as NIN on O9S with my static. I regard myself as a garbage player because of those numbers. My question is two fold.

Is it possible that I'm being too harsh on myself? (I have reason to believe that my numbers are bad made on other discussions I've been involved in on the forums)

The other question is, is it possible to put too much pressure on yourself, whether it's in casual or raiding content?

Relax and don't let yourself get stressed about it.And if your party are being rude about it just leave them,they're not worth your time

Tho I will admit I did have similar thoughts but as a tank after a level roullette run in Qarn which started my "tank panic" phase for a while but as the time went by I calmed down and put it behind me

As long as you're doing damage,learning the mechanic and keeping yourself alive,you're helpful to your team,no matter what others would tell you

And remember at the end of the day,XIV is just a video game.And video games are made to entertain you so make that your number 1 goal cuz as long as you're having fun then thats all that matters

Tho to reiterate on what said before,Samurai and Dragoon are much less stressful DPS jobs...especially Samurai.So I recommend you give those a shot
