Struggling to Beat My Anxiety and Go.

[Leader Bee]

Might be worth starting a thread for meetups? if enough people in close proximity have nobody to go with

That’d be a good idea, I’d like to find some ppl near me who I can go skirmish with!

I think I might have convinced my brother to go with me (as part of my birthday in Sept, will be the first time I'm going...) but if he drops out I'm still gonna go and see if I can tag along with a few others just to get the first game anxiety out the way.

I think this forum and the way people talk about the majority of players being sound and approachable (including experiences people have had at my local sites) have put me more at ease.

Good man! 

Bite the bullet,take the bull by the horns,throw caution to the wind,let the devil beware when the Angel's move the clouds,faint heart never won fair maid and stuff like that.

Have fun.?

Good to hear. I know how much anxiety and mental health issues can hold you* back. I'm sure when you get into the game you'll be glad you went

*you in general, not specifically you

I’ve been playing on and off for over 12 years now and there has been so many times when I just go and join a game on my own, I’ve never had any problems and always felt welcome. I mInly play at the KILLHOUSE in Leeds great little site I went on my own last week! Nobody will care what your wearing or what gun u have, it will become a talking point as u start chatting to other players. Get your boots on and have a cracking time shooting people ?

All of airsofts rich hot pot of deviants,reprobates,fantasists and practising thugs are here to pander to your every whim.

What sites do you go? As it says FOB etc on y profile. Me and my team go to West Midlands that’s our local site. Trust me when you go it’s a great experience if u struggle to talk to anyone. Shoot one of ya own team mates by accident and then go into the safe zone and apologise to them and then ask them about their gun etc and  that’s how ya make mate well one way.??

Or just say 'hi I'm john first day here.nice gun'

Negates having to shoot,bludgeon,trip up or set fire to them to break the ice. 

Ps may be a bit risky hitting them with friendly fire. Lol

Never know ? yea or ask the marshalls also look for who is renting guns they tend to be newish once u get ya tape on tho for the team u can gather who seems friendly but it’s very distanced currently in safe zones?

Definitely NOT the way to make friends ?

In the safe zone just say 'Nice gun' and go from there...

That's all you need to do ?

Yeah, the west mid fob and cqb sites are my local sites (cqb being the closest) its not so much the people interaction I'm concerned about, it's more about absorbing all the information and rules and making sure I don't fuck up or look like a bumbling idiot ?

The rules are pretty standard there like call your hits etc and dont get into fights? The Marshall’s are pretty funny and laid back you won’t have any issues and if you had any questions or support they are always willing to explain to you  also the players who I have played with in the past always are helpful if you have any questions or issues. ?

That's all you need to do

This is why I have 0 friends ?  Nah always complimenting people’s guns is a good thing to do or asking about their gear and camo etc.
