I worry that the minute I give my opinion on my gut feeling on a few I am strongly feeling are town, I’m going to get responses that say “oh I’ve played with them before, they do this as scum” “don’t pay attention to that” etc etc. I feel like I’m the only one that can’t offer any meta and therefore I’ll never have the full picture that others seem to have. It’s slightly alienating but I’m trying to keep up.
1. No one has the full picture
2. Posts like these are half the reason i can’t seem to comfortably town read KJQ. I feel like she keeps reiterating that she is alienated and confused and struggling to make reads, but i also dont actually feel that anxiety in her posting. I don’t really know how else to explain it
I’m a very anxious person but also a very thorough writer and I express myself best when writing. I only feel alienated when people start referencing other games and meta reads on people’s behavior because it means nothing at all to me unless I just take everyone’s word for it. I suppose I also feel a bit out of the loop when I don’t understand the game terms being used but I feel too embarrassed to continually ask for clarification because I feel like I’m just annoying people at that point.
I won’t deny that I’m struggling to make reads on the people that are either: not engaging with me, or: not engaging at all. I’m probably playing overly-cautious (in my own way, some overly cautious people might just shut up, obviously that’s not me) but I’m just trying to be thorough.
