As someone who has his own share of social anxiety, my advice would be to learn to appreciate yourself more so that you will take these things more positively. But also to look for a more mature community.

Agreeing to disagree on this one Elahri, I never came here for someone to argue my own experiences, but thanks for the input.
And I’ll definitely take that into Account Eosferon, It is a ongoing battle but I really do apricate the advice on the matter.

To be fair, I think you got a really great response to your thread on healing here in the forums. One of the best and most helpful threads I’ve seen here recently.
As for the dungeons themselves, it’s up to you what you do of course. Personally I gave up dungeons back in vanilla or TBC as they were toxic then and were something to be endured rather than enjoyed. I find much more enjoyment in open world play but, if you want to do them, then you should join one of the communities mentioned in the other thread so you can avoid people who always think they’re right, even when they’re not.
Good luck with whatever you decide.
Thanks, I totally agree Ananda the forums have been a really supportive backbone for me as of recently, I posted my Bnet so I’m hoping to see some friend requests come in at some point.
I just want to enjoy the game doing the content, I feel I’m capable of doing all of it I’m part of the 1% player base on Oldschool Runescape “I recently quit with several bossing kcs in frontpage / top 100s / blood torva etc etc”
Coming from a game which I was teaching people 24/7 to succeed in higher raiding formats to this has been daunting as I haven’t played for a few years and thanks for the good luck Ananda.
If anyone is wanting to game in the future please don’t hesitate to ask or even if you wish to give me any more help that you feel has been missed.
Don’t mind him, Elahri is type of person that thinks truth is only subjective to him matter, If he believed 2+2 is 10, he would argue about that with everyone that he’s right til his death.
No documents, not statistics, no scientists would get to him, if he thinks 2+2 is 10, then he will argue that it is. Just ignore him because he’s troll

Do you pug your own keys? I usually weed out people who sit in valdrakken, ask for sum, don’t say hi. Helps a lot
That is just how games work, the higher level of difficutly you reach for the more toxic people are gonna get, because there are less room for error.
The only thing that can be done by blizzard side is reduce the punishment for failure, such as key depletion. It shouldnt reduce the level as anyone could just dc or leave the key without consequences.
Feeling same about VC, but mostly because it will feel overwhelming (though I have very strong Ukrainian accent, but I’m too old to care about accent and what people think about it) VC will just stress me more, there usually no need for voice chat, unless it’s high keys, and people know what to do or read chat. I’m afraid I will feel exhausted and it will eat my energy to VC. Maybe we can make community with no VC required 
I haven’t really done any mythic+ due to my first key on week 1 where I had a DK berate me really harshly to the extent he told me to basically quit the game because I wasn’t dispelling the howling ghosts quick enough, I then found out that the wowhead Mythic+ talent recommendation didn’t include the dispel that worked on them.
I guess that was my own fault but being someone who play OSRS and has top 10 / top 100 in some bosses and in some raids I’d never think of speaking to someone like that, I’m the type of person if someone makes a mistake I simply just tell them how to fix it and tell them to not worry and we all are rocky at the start but one day we end up being looked at like gods.
“I also quit OSRS because I pretty much achieved everything I could including having a World Record for certain bosses for XYZ amount killed in a 6 hour / 24 hour / week / month timeframe on Labs”
Try not to take it personally, I also remember how one guy just yelled at me about the affix 
nowadays if I make a group I just myself check the talents basically of everybody and ask beforehand if they can help with affix. I would just advice to let go and be mindful of the vibe of people before the dungeon starts. I can kick tank and their friends if they act weird even if we are in the dungeon already, it’s better to go this way.
Great advice Falsejaina, I really apricate it, I probably say this loads in this forum thread but I do mean it, I think I’ve just been dealt a harsh blow this week and its hit me harder than I expected.
Nah the community is exactly how it was before.
They expect you to perform and do mechanics.
If you cant do both to certain degree its your fault not one of community .
If you fine certain keys to hard do keys invlower bracket where your skills and gear fits

Just nevermind it, maybe we can make here a post to add each other if they have problems with finding people to play with too, specifically for M+.
I also like the saying “if the don’t know you personally, don’t take it personally”. Most of people, especially young, are just having bad manners…
I don’t fully agree, I’ve done keys in past expansions and never had the issues I’ve had returning as I have in DF, I don’t think its appropriate to berate someone for a mistake considering were not machines were humans.
I certainly think it has changed from Legion → DF through the years but as said that’s my own view which can’t be wrong in my experiences just like yours can’t either with your own, I never said it was anyone elses fault but I do think if people want to expand a community in a positive manner giving advice to people is priority as it will only improve everyone else experiences going forward.

Nobody Cares about anything you do outside of current dungeon .
Its your fault you came unprepared .
I personaly wouldnt risk infraction like that dk did but yeah you waste other 4 people time by coming to run unprepared.
Instead feeling offended say you are sorry and after run change talents to correct one.

I get what you’re saying but I also feel you’re just being harsh for the sake of being harsh, I’ll accept your views, Also I have severe anxiety disorder so its not as simple as just not feeling offended I overthink and it eats away at me but thanks for the comments.
Have a nice day

Aw poor Azarelia got their feelings hurt because I’ve consistently pointed out their flawed reasoning.
I am purely a statistical person. And I’ve done tens of thousands of dungeons since vanilla and people have NEVER been particularly chatty nor flamey. Not on any role I’ve played, not on any server I’ve played on. If it was as common as people say, I would have noticed that by now with how many dungeons I’ve done over the years. It just isn’t a thing in pugs. There is no shot that I’ve managed to dodge it if it’s as common as people say.

But there are other players too who can deal with affix usually
Do what I do and talk in robotic English if they get uppity. Or just say you’re badly rping as a dwarf.
And this is where I have MY fun at their expense. I will do one of two things. Either speak in King’s English in that absurd accent most non UK residents seem to think every British person talks in which enrages them or the coup de grace, I just go into broad Dundee. Within 5 minutes and a short curt “So are we done with the accent jokes or am I still using it?” which either enrages them further leading to a kick (no sad loss, I don’t want to play with such ignorant people anyway) or they behave themselves and talk to me as if I’m a human being with a different accent from them and we go on to successfully complete what we’re doing.
But yeah. Communities or a guild, repeat, GUILD, do not stay long in a clique masquerading as a guild, there’s a lot of those guilds is the way to go.
And always remember, the people shouting loudest about the value of community are usually the ones trying their hardest to exclude anyone not in their immediate circle of tight-knit friends. You will find the people willing to play with you, you just need to find your way through a sea of sewage first unfortunately.
