I wanna play Marathon but I am too shy to use voice chat in any game plus I am insecure as a good shut in would be + spicy accenti keep requesting advice or help I HAVE NEVER EVER played anything online with people or a mic unless its full mic off randoms, I gained online friends on a game once but I never was able to talk as I pretended to be actually mute and just chat. I liked them but I had to quickly leave them some weeks in. I am insecure about...myself, or being someone, existing. I haven't left my home nor talked to people as "friends" for almost 10 years now. I am insecure about my accent too or voice in general.
hop on deadlock
>>733661718Rip that band-aid off before it's too late, anxiety is a form of pain and you need to build a tolerance just like with regular pain. If you're afraid of being too boring then round yourself out, if you're afraid of connection then just remember nothing lasts forever, even if you're friends with someone they leave one way or another. The idealized version of "friendship" that you see in your animes does not exist. People are petty and most are borderline psychotic.
>>733662101I can't relate to people anymore...I am insecure about real life and stuff I read online. Naturally i hate/distrust women for example as I haven't had good interactions with them...or frankly any interactions but I read that the bad interactions are statistically more likely so I think the risk isn't worth it.I haven't talked to someone socially in years. I don't know how to do it. Realistically when I play Marathon I will never talk, as I have never talked in others. I hate people...
>>733661718no need to worry, your will be shot on sight.
>>733662283I know the feeling, don't let it get to the point where your in youur 30s and don't know how to socialize. It's not a good place to be. Talking through a mic anonymously in a game is probably the best first step for exposure therapy and I'd heavily advise it. Don't get too attached, just treat it as an experiment on yourself, see what you're actually capable of rather than assuming the worst of yourself. Don't assume the worst of others either, like I said most people are terrible but you will never get anywhere being ultra paranoid 24/7.
>I wanna play Marathon but I am too shy to use voice chat in any game plus I am insecure as a good shut in would be + spicy accentPlay character. Simple as.
>>733662752I am 25...I haven't left my home since I was 18 or 17, I can't remember. Isolation has probably ruined my mirror neurons. I do not know how to rlate to people, I have no sense of humor that's not me only, or I have no ways of talking that aren't just me. Look, I am right to be wary, even here anons say for example hate my ethnic group despite me not sharing a lot with the idea of it, or a catch all term against me when I have been here far longer. Heh, Kim kitsuragi type stuff. or others online hate my gender, guys for whatever reason. I mean, why should I interact with people annyways? Everyone on earth hates me...for one reason or another
>>733662945>I am 25...I haven't left my home since I was 18 or 17, I can't rememberAyo wtf
>>733662994My memory is shit for things not me and my own thoughts anymore, I never leave home unless I really need to and even then I prefer not to talk too much. I don't even talk with people online, no online friends, no discord servers, no streamers chat, no forum, nothing.
>>733662597You're right, I will not talk with people anyways.
>>733662945This place does not represent the real world. The immediate response from this place is vitriol because this place is a fucking toilet, it's where people can shit out their negative impulses and move on. Most people irl are friendly out of necessity because if they acted like a 4channer they'd get there teeth knocked out. This place does not represent reality.
>>733663697So in the end I win again, it represents the inner reality of people. I legitimately believe people hate me and only me, they might have any logical or illogical reason to hate me, I can never be sure. You don't seem to hate me but then again, I exist as text on a screen on this board, I am in a way dismembered and packaged already. In another board, In another site, in another time, who knows...
>>733662994i bet 15% of genZ and gen A is just like him honestly
>>733662994>Ayo wtfhello newfriend
>I wanna play MarathonI genuinely don't believe you at all
>>733663074I'm surprised a person in this mindset is even able to use 4chan
are shills really this desperate
>>733661718you can play with randoms a lot of them dont talk at all. you can communicate in game with pings, and honestly just follow people around is like 90% of the team work unless you give call outs in a fight.
>>733663828We gotta change that.>>733663847Not new. Been here a month after 4c's inception and the first recipient of the 4chan triple crown.
>>733663858I am a big fan of the originals and a big fan of science fiction in general. Do you know how rare even genuinely science fiction stuff is? Nonetheless the biggest selling point for me is maybe being able to talk to people. I remember being so afraid when I was playing apex legends in 2023 and some duo using voice chat with me, a guy and a female were talking with each other and then trying to talk with me or even joke...I was so afraid.>>733663894I rarely post, mainly lurk the same generals or if I post it's mainly when I need advice or to get something be it a book rec or movie rec or stuff like that.
How about you try in this server slam this weekend? Grab a cheap mic and try and see if it works for you. I think the game will suck, so the worst it could happen is someone makes fun of your voice, but the game will be dead in two weeks anyway, and no one will remember your voice. Only that Marathon turned out to be Concord 3.
>>733664212In a way I also hope that happens, I would hate for people to have a good fun time without me included...
>>733663794Not everyone posts here, it might represent the inner world of some but not all. I have no reason to hate you and neither does anyone else who doesn't know you. People might be apprehensive of you if you're abnormally silent, that doesn't equate to hatred. This idea of everyone having an inherent hatred for you is delusional and paranoid and probably stems from your isolation, I've been through this too.
>>733664745I've thought about it, you know the whole spree thing before, you know what i mean. I just feel like I do not belong. Many would deny my humanity for X or Y or maybe not even that, but I dont feel human
>>733665296What purpose would that serve? How would taking the lives of random people do anything to serve yourself or anyone for that matter? You say that people would deny your humanity but you're making assumptions again, you're categorizing yourself as separate from the human race when there are many lonely fucked up people just like you. You're talking to one right now. You are a human being no matter how much you might despise the idea.
>>733661718The trick is to break the Ice. Once the ice is broken, conversations tend to be more fluid and natural. Are you a femboy at the very least? I could practice with you. Otherwise, maybe try to have a conversation with ai, that could help.
>>733665846Humans hate me, this is war.
>>733666331Lmao good luck I guess, don't let sone glowie groom you into becoming a shooter
>>733661718whats wrong with you
>>733667396People hate me for literally no reason. everonye alive is my enemy
>>733668118There has to be a reason
>>733661718just use voice with your discord friends, sis
>>733668518>>733668997ive never had a friend, im too shy
>>733668450im insecure about existing, ive never had friends as i am too shy and afraid of life
>>733661718mina if she fubuki
