    I have a strange type of social anxiety that keeps me from playing multiplayer games online with anyone other than people I know in person because I feel like I’m going to group with one of these weirdos and then get stuck with them following me around or messaging me constantly lol

    I know it’s an irrational fear, but my brain is dumb.

      It’s not irrational, you aren’t dumb. I feel the same. I still don’t want to play with you.

      Weirdly I have no problem with being left with people I’ve never met as long as I know someone and they introduce us. If a friend trusts us together, we can skip the awkward feeling out steps
