Stop caring
The only thing to do is when this thing happened is to just try and get done with this song. Then take a deep breath and calm down and think you did it once you can do it another time. But usually if i get this nervous it was just a lucky thing for me and i need to try a couple more times before i get it right again and then at this point i allready memorized anything and im not even getting nervous anymore just trying to make no more mistakesthelewa wrote:
So basically this thread is all about how people get nervous and how they deal with getting nervous if they get nervous. If you don't get nervous, do tell how we common lowlives could achieve something as glorious as a state of mind where we don't get nervous. Keep in mind it's all about osu!, not real-life stuff like going to the store to buy groceries and getting a panic attack.
Basically I get nervous every time I'm about to FC a map, no matter what map it is. My heart starts beating at a billion beats per minute and my vision grows dark, while my hands shake furiously enough to be considered viable replacements for jackhammers in road construction. How I try to deal with this is by focusing on my breathing and using the force of a thousands suns to try to control my right hand. It doesn't work that well, though.

This doesn't work on mine. ._.Anzo-nii wrote:

The reason it doesn't work is likely because you read on how to avoid focusing on fc. You will instead tell yourself not to worry, or degrade yourself, but you will be focusing on doing so for the reason that you can get a FC/ or not get nervous, which is ultimately focusing on just that.Mira-san wrote:

I only FC when I least expect it.
Wait.. what? Nervousness as a sign of getting better? Do you mean that the stuff you are playing gets easy enough so you won't need to concentrate super hard thus getting nervous or what? oOTSC wrote:
I figure Osu would be pretty boring if i didn't get nervous. One of the main reasons i play is to get scores I'm proud of and to improve as a player, getting nervous just seems like it's a sign I'm getting better.

You know... If I didn't know better, I would agree with you, but there is a delicate balance you need to maintain to achieve this, and pushing your limits will most definitely cause you to be nervous, on a possibly even greater scale. I used to play most of my games in this "single-minded" state and it really isn't all it's cracked up to be. The nervousness is still there, it just doesn't manifest itself as strongly, and I can most certainly feel it because of my gastric condition.Lycanth wrote:
From my own experience with nervousness (not only in osu!, but in general) improving your ability to concentrate/focus helps a lot with that. When you are "using the entirety of your brain capacity" for doing one task there is no room for nervousness. And the moments where you start getting nervous are usually the moments during which you lose focus(e.g. thinking about your combo etc. even though you should only be thinking about the next nodes you are about to hit).

What I do is I force myself to think that I combo broke like 30 notes ago or so. It's a lot easier to FC when you believe you've already failed, and I find I have a lot more fun.
