I have never related more to a thread in my life.

I am so anxious that I never speak in voice chat. I just awkwardly sit there, wondering why I even bothered purchasing a microphone. :thinking:

I only talk when needed too. You usually get some idiot every other game who’s not worth wasting a breath on.

Superexcitement can do that to you.

My mic anxiety was so bad that I just completely avoided ranked for the majority of my Overwatch career. I occasionally did my placements just to see where I would rank, but especially as a Zen main I felt like I was doing a disservice to my team by not communicating.

It’s still not something I’m comfortable with, but after forcing myself to use the mic I slowly started to get over my mic anxiety. It’s easy to cringe every time you stumble over your words or say something stupid, but don’t let that keep you from talking.

It’s kinda simple thinking about it and imagining it, but when I’m sitting in a game with someone asking me which direction to go in, I just freeze.

Its fairly easy to tell people your opinion when youre a narcisistic mofo like me.

Just learn to see everyone else as inferior compared to your infallible self.

Relatable. I’m too shy to even want to join voice chat.

I don’t trust myself in voice chat.

I’m the stupid guy who, when the waiter says “enjoy your meal” replies with “you too!”

I usually greet the people, then say nothing for the rest of the match. Im not that type of player to call out stuff + whenever i play the game is quite late , and i got people sleeping in the other room.

I’m way too talkative in voice chat it’s mostly in qeueing or set up cause I have so much useless information and just I want to see peoples reactions

I’m the opposite, I will panic and pick at random what happens to be the worst idea running through my head, immediately realise why it’s wrong and go silent because we’ve already started and i don’t want to annoy/ confuse them.

I have a group of friends who I met and have been playing OW with for almost 3 years now, and they still haven’t heard my voice because of my social anxiety. I recently promised them I’d make it one of my New Years Resolution to actually reveal my voice and join them in the fun conversations they have.

And I’m the waiter who thanks you for that, and then realizes what happened 2 hours later.
