I feel more anxiety creating my own group than joining someone else key and doing the dungeon.

That happens. Just dont mess it up and if you do mess it up, learn from it!
You canât learn without mistakes. We arenât perfect.
Next year, next month, even next week, are you going to remember or even care if you messed up a key in WoW? Learn from mistakes and queue up for the next one!!

i dont give a dam one way of the other in keys. just go in and dont say anything and you should be fine
that or do it drunk, its sometimes the only way i can do them with how stupid (lower keys), tryhard (higher keys) or/and toxic (all key levs) other people can be at times, lol

I know we wonât time the key because of predictably stupid pulls, so thereâs no pressure.
I do. I donât do high keys. Problem solved.
After returning to the game I have come to realize, it aint that serious. Even if I manage to cap out at teh hardest content in the game, it all doesnât matter. And no one cares.
people in game wont care. They will find a way to call you bad. And if not, you will be a sweatlord.
people outside of game will politely excuse themselves from a nerdy conversation they give 0 craps about.
This is a game. I pay a sub fee to have fun. I do what i find fun. I do not do what I do not find fun. Being anxious is not fun. So I don;t do stuff that make me feel anxious.

People in game dont really care if you have KSM or CE⊠No one really care about anyone in game unless you have a group of friends you play with⊠It all comes down to what content you find fun to do
Yeah usually when I get started it gets a bit better though. It sucks for everyone having to learn in pugs but as long as youâre learning.
Even m0 stresses me out. So i have no advice lol

No. If I screw up in a PUG big deal, all I am going to receive is either a kick or a nasty message. With guilds, I donât worry at all, because if I screw up on something theyâll tell me and help me get through it.

Iâm literally on anxiety meds and its not an issue for me. Just have to build confidence in your play and understand/acknowledge the possible causes for failure.
I have pretty bad anxiety and social anxiety so bad itâs actually serious IRL.
Honestly, I think I just made so many terrible mistakes working my way up that, as long as I learned from them and donât do it again, it couldnât possibly get worse 
I try to be pretty civil and polite, and Iâm always first to identify and apologize when I mess up. Works well enough.
All the time. Same with raiding. That is why I drink a lot, well it depends. That is how I have always been with WoW. Sometimes I do really well when in a certain range of drinking and other times I have blacked out and remember nothing. That is how hard it is for me to talk to people in game and real life. Plus my new doctor wants me off my benzoâs, which I have been tapering off of and it is horrible. So thank you Blizzard for not passing out free chemicals so some of us can function and play the game. O wait I have alcohol still.
