i've been getting really frustrated with tf2 because ive been playing forever but i still don't feel like i'm respected as a player. I don't really care about being "invite", i just want to be a player that others are scared of. It sucks when you've been playing for years but people still give you shit about being a throw pick on your main in pugs that arent even that high level. I know that when I'm playing at my best I'm a lot better than i think im given credit for, but I get tilted more often than people seem to realize because I try really hard to hide it. My silly, goofy, attitude hides a lot of my inner frustration and I'm so concerned about being liked as a person that I'm afraid to let people know i'm not in a good mood. Its not that i get angry, though i certainly do, its more that I get anxious which makes my aim really erratic and makes me focus on how well i'm doing instead of comms. in fact. i've noticed that i often click so hard out of anxiety that I unintentionally move my mouse >_< tbh, the whole reason why i made that direcile dysfunction thread is because i have legit tf2 performance anxiety.
I have a lot of trouble properly understanding calls when things are hectic in mumble which makes me look like a bot even though all that really happened is that I thought someone said "push!" when they really said "we should push". I tend to do a lot of things that aren't necessarily stupid, but they're dumb because I haven't been paying attention to where my teammates actually are and i'm just assuming where they should be.
