Call me a ♥♥♥♥♥, but I'm too anxious to use voice chat. I really want to, but before I can I usually just quit the server out of fear. I've got no problem talking to strangers in real life, I just struggle with communicating online. Does anyone else ever feel like this?

Damn, you wouldn't be alone in that OP. As far as I know this is a personal issue that has a unique solution for each of us that suffers from it. For me it has to be only a 1 to 1 voice chat session, with someone that's extremely chill. I've tried hanging around in large voice chat groups, but I shut down pretty damn quick and have to get the ♥♥♥♥ out of there.

Takes time to learn what environment works best for you.

Meh, yes and no. Even when I do use voice chat I rarely actually speak. I don't volunteer anything unless someone speaks to me directly.

Now when I'm gaming with my daughter it's a competition to see who can irritate who the fastest over voice chat.

I don't anymore due to harassment.

Just laugh and mute. That's what a lot of my friends that were girls did on XBL. Some of them would banter but that might not be your thing.

Misery loves company. Miserable people don't want to see you happy or in good fortune. They will try to drag you down with them.. Want to get a rise out of them? Keep doing what you do, their jealously will drive them mad.

I used to bail when a group got too large, because it always devolved into at least three different conversations, it was frustrating when playing Battlefield, but eventually it got better (normally after half a match) comms got better, and we usually kicked ass. I still will if it's just a free for all and there's no way to get a word in.

Don't feel forced to use it. If you want to say something, it should come naturally.

It can be hard to do voice chat at times. I myself do not do it much anymore because I am up at night when I play games or do videos and everytime I talk I get told to shut up pretty much in the background. It hurts my feelings.

Increase in-game mic receive to max and boost +50 decibels = instant confidence. Trust it works.

I don't get as anxious as I used to, but I'm always willing, nay, eager to give a furry hug and friendly shoulder to let people know they're not alone.

... How do you deal with social anxiety?

I don't.
I just dive right in then cry about it later.

I just dive right into discussions, so that I can actually have a life, rather than just never going anywhere or talking to anyone. ...then cry about it later.
