Can anyone tell me...
why I get ranked anxiety when I don't have a duo? Why do I fear going in alone? Is it because I don't think I'm good enough? I'm not actually sure...

I play a lot of norms. I have around 4300 games of normals in 5 years. A few years ago though when I'd go into Ranked, I'd also have ranked anxiety, because I knew these games actually meant something, if I played bad I not only fucked myself, but I fucked my teammates. I'd lose LP and lower my LP gains if I consistently did bad.
I overcame it though and I'm sure you will too.
i win 3 ranked games in a row and feel super motivated but then lose 1 game and back to normals i go
Maybe it's my own insecurities weighing me down.
Well, your Gold 3, in the top 18% of NA. Do you feel maybe you've peaked? Or that maybe you don't deserve to be this high? Thoughts like that could be a reason for the anxiety, because if you don't play up to par you feel you lost the game.
I don't know though, I do know that anxiety is all in your head. I'm 29 and around the time I turned 26, whenever I'd smoke weed I'd start getting anxiety for the 1st time ever so it scared the literal crap out of me (making the anxiety worse). After a few months, I started to realize that it was just that, anxiety, I don't know why it started or why I started getting it, but I learned to talk myself down and just enjoy it. Now, I don't smoke nearly as much as I used to, because I don't like feeling anxious, but when I do I have learned how to control it, I know it's coming and how to make it like dim out in my head. It's still there but I know I'm not going to die or anything.
When your anxious, just know it's going to end and go into the game and play to the best of your abilities, win or lose, good game or bad, it doesn't dictate who you are as a player.
