I have acute anxiety problems and it's not that I'm shy, rather, I have a social issue of constantly overextending and also find it hard to like people. But I don't have a social disability, just emotional scarring as such. So I'm wondering, what's it like at Hearthside gatherings for example? I've never played Hearthstone socially with someone in the same room, and I'm just wondering what the banter is like lol. As I've never vocalised my thoughts while playing this game and I'd imagine it would expand a cool window of context or perspective, a I'd get the Hearthside cardback too I guess, theoretically. I positive universities near me host these kinda things, but I haven't looked into it...
I'm likeable actually, enough, but I have a fear of hurting people because of my apathy. It's overthinking I guess haha. Wouldn't be too bad! And I need to get out more.... I'm sure many of you are in the same boat (pun);
As per tradition here is a remix of the Hearthstone theme-song I just made for this thread to spice it up!!! Spicy!!!
I can’t vote cuz a 50/50 doesn’t do you any justice. My vote is head over to a physical gathering that is hosted somewhere more “private” if that makes sense. For instance you mentioned a local Uni does FGs, and that sounds perfect for your personality. Unfortunately my history at more public gatherings: gaming bars, patio style events, etc. generally have very non-social players funny enough. It gets clique-y at events like those and that generally means not a whole lot of talking, and unfortunately since I’m very social that made it really awkward not being able to socialize to the fullest with a game I love. However university events and other “club” led events are generally great because the creator/leader really cares about putting together a good community- not to mention event size is relatively low so everyone is incentivized to interact. So through them you’ll likely find that they can best accommodate your difficulties and make sure you have fun.

Hmmm well if it was at the pub i'd be one to stir up bantz because ideally its fun to nitpick in awkward situations. I try to cater to the atmosphere I'm not looking to be looked after and yet I'm also one to talk myself down, politely, as it were.... Thanks my dude for this advice I suppose. Actually I wouldn't mind a waiter or something...
Well I suppose since you see no harm and are sure you’ll be entertained then feel free to go to any event posted and experience it yourself. I figured since you mentioned some personal struggles early in your post that that was a defining factor in your overall decision. Since your reply makes it apparent that isn’t a factor then yes by all means a FG is a great place to do the Hearths of Stones.

Go to a more private event, indeed. Hopefully you guys end up doing an orgy and feel really good about it after. You can always propose to organize a party after the actual games to releave the... tension ;)
I've only been to one. The people there were mostly as you describe yourself, so if you understand yourself you'll understand them. One guy was pretty friendly, and the others were socially awkward but helpful. It's a good social thing to go to cold, as at least you all have a common interest.

I doubt you're likable. I've seen your posts.
I'm a terrible writer and absolutely manipulative... but you learn from it.... dark things...

Hmm indeed. I may do it.
