I'll be honest
I choke everyday, no matter what difficulty
Every single day is me trying to FC a 5* and I usually end up choking toward the end. Yesterday, I was trying to FC Blade Dance (on Kneesocks), and probably choked at least 10 times toward the end (I probably shouldn't be playing that in the first place actually...).
I usually choke on some really long jump, a small slider that I accidentally overlook, or messing up on the last part of a stream.
And since this is G&R, you probably expect me to ask how to not choke (but it was I, Dio!), but I won't.
But I will ask whether it's normal or not for a person to be choking this much?

I don't think it's a choke. You just don't have the ability to FC Kneesocks' ending jumps yet.

I probably don't but that was just an example. I'm just saying in general that I'm choking a lot, and I'm wondering if it's normal

I think you have the same issue i had not so long time ago, when i was struggling to fc maps that are over 5.3*
You are probably starting to stress out a lot when the chorus kicks in. At least i did, And it wasn't caused by me fcing the map
I felt that the maps started to get heck a lot intense then the previous parts of the map on chorus. So i was really starting mashing the buttons
and doing jumps as fast as i could. And because of that i was shitmissing the long pp jumps at the end of the maps.

Try to stay calm throughout the whole map. Think about it like this, If you can play the beginning of the map well with high acc, it means that it is possible for you to play the rest and that the ending of the song isnt much different from the beginning. It helps me at least to get fc's without even getting stressed that much nowadays.

Yeah, my nerves go on overdrive when the climax of the song hits, or also when the chorus comes in. Usually, that's when I start freaking out and I either start messing up streams, slider break, or accidentally skip over a note in a jump. Before a climax, I do have pretty good acc, sometimes even reaching 100%.
Then it all goes downhill from there
It's usually when I start mashing through streams instead of playing to the beat, go way too fast on jumps so my acc becomes bad, and slider breaking is near-inevitable. But if I stay calm, I usually hit my sliders and my streams fine.
Problem is, I have difficulty in staying calm, even though I tell myself over and over again to calm down.

Git gud. Literally. That's what I did.

You have to get better so that when you choke, your improved skill can mitigate the effects of nervousness, etc. Like even if I'm shaking or my heart palpitates or something, my instinct and muscle memory can carry me through the duration since I've improved.

Unless you can control your mental state, that's what I suggest you do.

"But how can I improve if I keep choking?"

You don't need to FC to improve.

RSI and TICS HIATUS LMAO

kids, don't joke about rsi, it's not cool to have it, it doesn't inflate your e-peen, just makes you look retarded for being proud of it

Wait really? Skill overrides nerves? I always thought that my nerves were the problem because I would usually have better accuracy (and wouldn't sliderbreak as much) when compared to me being nervous.
...unless I just suck that much

It does if you're high above what you want to play. I usually play maps near 6*, so I'm comfy with maps less than 5.5* even with my horrible tics. Tics are worse though, sometimes I get a strong urge to twist/move/flex/turn/stiffen my appendages and I choke even a very easy map.

I agree what Sayorie said. You probably need to get used to the pattern. Heck, probably you still will get a better attempt than mine from what you described. (choke at final jump) -_-

Edit: lol it's actually in my top ranks now ..... my acc..

Oh that fucking map. I'd rather play full-technical maps than 5* maps with 8* difficulty spike. That's just me though, don't mind me.

Wait ,seriously? 8* difficulty spike? Huh...so it really is that difficult i guess

On a side note, I never understood what a technical map was, is it something like this?
