Why i disable mics entirely. (Caution: Shits Required)
« on: June 14, 2014, 10:31:14 pm »
Long story short, i simply don't want to waste the time to mute people individually. Yes, i know how simple it is, but that's not the full story. I tell people that just to move on and play the game.

Short story long, it's mainly to keep the stress down. You might agree "Yeah, squeakers'll do that to you" or "Micspam ruins it for other people.", but it's not just that. It's that ALL of that makes me nervous, regardless of what it is. That's whats called as Social Anxiety. I can't justify why a mass of 20 voices and booming music is worse than hell to me, i just live with it.

You might now say "Lester, just mute it, man!"

It's not that simple. Correct me if i'm wrong, but it's human nature to stay away from things that constantly bring you fear. And if i avoid things i fear, i wouldn't be here right now and my server list would be half of what it is, which is a slim 6 servers.

I hear all of this is called Social Anxiety and that i have it. I also hear it's unfortunately quite common amongst us.
I was also told i have "General Anxieties", which probably explains all the weird... Sorry... -ahem- Which means, i tend to take things entirely the wrong way. I blame both of these on my childhood.

I'd prefer to people to understand, but my past has more than proved that most of you don't and prefer to respond to it quite hashly. I've learned that this could be called "Trolling", in which i've developed a mental masochistic high to cope with it... there's more, but now it's leading to an entirely new story, so i'll end it here.

If you've read this whole thing, the words "Thank You", don't cut it. But Thank you.

Did you make sure it wasn't blacklisted?

Usually around Trading Hell and Zombie Hell. Message me on Steam if you need something.

You have to remember that different leagues usually run different whitelists
In UGC, you can use the phlog, but at the same time it's banned in ETF2L

Turning a serious thread into a highlander discussion... Why, oh why, do I still hang around you people?

Anyway, I know someone personally that has been diagnosed with Social Anxiety Disorder. He gets through a day usually, but he gets depressed really easily and avoids people more than I do. It's actually kinda funny that we are friends.

No, I don't understand it completely. But I do have an idea of what it's like.

Some of us actually still hold on to hope, because the truth is actually a very good reason to kill themselves at this point in their lives.

I also implied it, because of where i posted it. I'd have to actually write this shit on a university bulletin board/ forum, if i wanted shits.

And thank you Joe, you lifted my spirits, if only slightly. I also suspect crab calls dibs on the dead guys sunglasses at funerals.
