How to get more confident in CS ?

[Rei.exe ♡]

I was just wondering if there was any tips on how to be more confident when playing CS?
Or confidence tips for playing soloq?
I always get worried playing by myself and not with my friends so I avoid it a lot but I do want to play the game even without my friends. And I often get worried about comms too.

by doing the exact thing that makes you worried,
press premier, then press play

Remind yourself it's just a game. You cannot choose whether you will get an idiot or troll on your team who say mean things etc but you CAN remind yourself that in the grand scheme of life you are just playing to have a bit of fun and the result doesn't actually matter. Enjoy!

I play most games as soloQ, this is what you must understand: out of 10 games, 3 are lost from the start, 3 are won from the start, your performance matters only in the rest of 4 games.

If a game is bad, and you know you're losing, use that game as a test ground for whatever else you haven't mastered yet. Try playing sniper, try playing as entry fragger, try new angles, try to get a multikill, go for an ACE, stuff like this.

Nobody, not even a hacker, can win 100% of all played games.
