Nah I have severe social anxiety and doing things like this help me play the game I enjoy as I still want to have the competitive aspect of ranked.

hahahaha imagine getting anxiety in a video game

damn. never thought about that man... sry

I think it's a lack of confidence. Anxiety seems to be a stretch.

Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose. Sometimes I streak down to plat 2 sometimes I streak up to diamond 1.

It is what it is, I don’t stress about it. I’m not trying to win the world championship, no reason to be anxious lol. I play ranked because I know I’ll USUALLY get teammates who are communicating and trying to win with me. Otherwise, I don’t stress about it

No judgement from me. GF has it pretty bad, too. Most of my VALORANT-related anxiety comes from being scared of playing badly (which is a relevant fear for me lol), not so much other people's reactions, but I imagine it's similar.
