Depression and Social Anxiety Disorder.
Atho my depression has improved in recent years.

My social anxiety issue tho is pretty bad and negatively impacts my life in quite severe ways ( society just isn't '' designed '' for people who aren't social or who are very introverted. I think that most people really underestimate how important a bare minimum of social competency and comfort actually is. ).
It sorta makes it worse that people think the opposite of me, I don't look like how they'd imagine someone with these issues to look like and I am quite decent at faking it. People would never know unless they knew and met me more consistently and I've been told that I am very easy to make friends with which just makes it so that people try and get closer to me which causes a lot of stress and anxiety.

Sometimes I feel this in games too, but obviously nowhere near to the same extent.
But sometimes people try and be friends with me in games as a more consistent thing where you talk and play together more or less every day which I try and avoid.
I can only deal with it in very small doses, it even extends to family.

Funny thing is tho that I actually think that people are quite anti-social in most content in the game, lol.
I kinda do like the small doses of interaction in dungeons etc, but often people are just completely quiet and don't say anything.

THAT SAID, I love how responsive SE's devs are to the community, and that $120 device everyone hates? Is like a godsend to me. I love FFXIV.

Which device is this; razer orbweaver? I play with an orbweaver. Only device I know that's that expensive.
