someone explain why Fortnite gives me anxiety?

[mug]

it inhibits my abilities I remember one game I played and I played really well and felt no anxiety, I got so many kills but im so mentally ill it impairs my skill level

 

[Alexanderr]

I have not once even played a second of that game. Very Non-NT trait indeed.

 

[mug]

tldr whenever I play something competitive I get anxiety and choke / disassociate from reality...

 

[mug]

and being the moderator of a looksmaxxing forum is somehow more nt?

 

[Alexanderr]

No, but I meant as in me not playing it being non NT

I prefer cs:go by a huge margin

 

[Erik-Jón]

Then what do you play fortnite was so Miren especially in it’s prime when you had like 200 of your friends playing it all the same time

 

[mug]

my dad has expectations that I can never meet, I always buy groceries and literally bought 12 paper towel rolls and detergents and he still favors my sibling over me... I can never please him so might swell focus on saving money and gaming

ye I made friends in my hs by playing squads w them

 

[mug]

csgo is fun I like the building aspect of Fortnite but the decisions epic games makes are ass

 

[LipstickAlley]

Idk it’s prolly because when you die in the game you have to start all over whereas with other games you at least continue with some stuff back (like cod where you can just respawn)

Not to mention the game is known for having sweats so they are intimidating as fuck

 

[Erik-Jón]

I was 12 when it was prime I was the intended age I have like 3k hours in that game

Yeah, it used to be huge here too though it was probably in the most aspie phase of my life. Well, not exactly aspie but I was incredibly socially anxious at the time so didn't have many friends, to begin with. It's become way better over time and I have lots of friends now but yeah, at the time I wasn't doing too much socializing or gaming even.

I was 12 and every guy in my class would just talk about fortnite and that lasted like 18 months and helped me get more friends because I was the best in the school

Competitive games can really fuck up some people who are prone to anxiety and stress. I noticed only after quitting how much it truly affected me. Playing against other people for 8-10 hrs a day for many years with the constant pressure of having to perform well kept my body in near constant state of sympathetic drive and that cortisol+adrenaline combo was big looksmin for me.
Not to mention the consumption of caffeine on top of this and shit posture.

 

[TsarTsar444]

Counter Strike

I live for competition, I had 99.9 percentile stats in fortnite and grand champion in rocket league and 99.9percentile in warzone I love crapping on people

Are you 12yo? Genuinely asking

 

[Alexanderr]

Yeah, at the time it was a good tool to socialize with those you don't know very well. Games in general are.

 

[Gaygymmaxx]

most alpha looksmaxxer

 

[Moggie]

Never played it and never gonna

 

[Stopping@Nothing19]

I'm not sure I ever ended up playing that, my dad used to restrict all use of computers so I'd only watch TV. In fact, I don't think I've ever really played lots of mainstream games.

 

[TsarTsar444]

no. I'm 21

Then how don't you know the most popular online multiplayer game in the early 00's and early 10's jfl

 

[Erik-Jón]

Wtf really you have so many games you NEED to play

Yeah its over for low test gamers like me tbh. I do not thrive in competitive environment like chads such as you. If I completely destroyed someone in PvP I would say something like "sit the fuck down shitter" while actually shaking like a pussy from that adrenaline and relief of not losing

I use to tell people to blow there brains out in cod lobbies and then 1v1 then and not die once and then nuke the map ahhhh fun times

You remind me of my brother he won’t even play video games with me because I stress him out what a cuck, not my fault he’s to slow and needs to hurry the fuck up

 

[Alexanderr]

The only games I have legitimately played are CoD & Battlefied (but even this was at a friend's house 10 years ago), GTA V (same story but probably 8 years ago), and Minecraft.

Wtf those are the only video games you played tf dude, do you have a pc rn capable of playing games if so there are SO MANY GAMES you need to try I wish I was like you So I could experience it all for the first time

 

[Erik-Jón]

I’m the opposite I didn’t study for my calc exam I needed to pass and passed by 1%

Yeah, unless Roblox and a few other free online games count. Legitimately think I'm too old to even experience them as my younger self would. That said, I'm not really looking to get into them rn, I find myself not really being able to enjoy unproductive stuff because my mind is continually telling me I need to go actually go do shit.

I rot all summer playing video games and doing dumb shit I do nothing productive, I even barely looksmax. There are a few games you should play like Skyrim, elden ring, red dead redemption 2.

my parents put so much pressure on me and hate me for all my failures but never acknowledge my accomplishments... its always more more more from them I feel like I have to do something to earn their love and when I do it feels fake... my dads a passive aggressive piece of shit and my mom is always mad at me... and I feel violent tendencies to want to fuck them up

Dark souls 1 or fall out 3 or skyrim are my favourite games of all time I’d say

It's called trauma.

Also quit those games if you wanna move forward in life.

Actually fornite used to give me the insane dopamine boost and stress relief,especially the game music, back in 2017 and 2018 when I was 15,used to watch ninja and ali a everday , keeping up with the new updates and even the tiniest new detail
I loved the map, loved everything about the game
But ever since they added the sand terrain, I stopped playing
And stopped playing video games as a whole
