🧠 Struggling To Perform In Front Of A Crowd - "My video games performance anxiety…" 🧠

Okay so I struggle to play video games in front of others. An activity that is pretty much second nature to me becomes an anxious experience when I’m in a public place with people I don’t necessarily know.

If I’m playing a game with someone in a local co-op scenario then I’m fine e.g. Pro Evo Soccer Co-Op is one of my fave things to do ever (you gotta love a 4 player co op game on PES!)

If I turn the tables slightly and then go head to head, I invariably crumble…

Why is this the case?
