Looking for a group

I am looking for a group (Not a team!) That can help me overcome my performance anxiety.

Even though I am going to get a lot of troll comments/comments that tells me I am a pussy and needs to go die.

Brief history (Ripped right out of my fourm post 3 days ago.) :

I am a level 30, love this game (Although, haven't touched it for a good 5~9 weeks) and most of my games up until now have been Co-op Vs. AI. Now, Back when I started this game, I used to play bots a lot until I got to lvl. 30 and then I jumped into PvP, lost and won games and having fun. But, during this past weeks, I kinda developed a strange and crippling fear of playing PvP. And it is not because of the usual: "Bad Teammates" or "Toxic chat", (I developed immunity, took a looong time) but due to the fear of irrational self-incompetence? (or the My-team-is-going-to-lose-because-of-me syndrome???) Every time I quene up for up for a normal game, I start to tense up and my hands and feet goes cold and starts shaking and then I get extremely negative calling myself an idiot in chat over a mistake I make or develop thoughts that are completely irrational and start thinking that my teammate is going to lose because of me. I tried many ways to combat this and I even gave myself a long break from the game! And this is me coming back after many absence. So, I returned to my roots, currently playing bots. It's when I look at the word: "PvP" is making me nauseous. Trust me, the desire to play with others and have fun is still there, but I just can't bring myself to play PvP......I am trying to ask you guys for help....So.....Help?

I am still getting cold-footed even after I wrote this....Oh Jeez.

It sounds like performance anxiety. Does this happen when try to do other things? The best way to get over it is to just play the game and realize that making mistakes is part of the game and part of learning. I would also suggest muting and set the game so that it doesn't show player names. That way you can feel like your in a bot game so hopefully it will relax you. GL HF

It only happens when I play PvP, What's weirder is that I just realized I had this issue until a few weeks ago...And haven't been touching PvP ever since.
