Rather than anxiety about people hating my dungeoning I get anxiety from the other players mostly.
Is the healer going to be like...a good healer? Are the DPS going to run ahead of me and pull? If we wipe is someone going to auto rage quit?
These things drive me nuts, especially the second I identify something out of the ordinary.
A great source of stress for me as a tank though comes from really good dps AND a great healer. Im then playing juggle the hate while I bite my nails watching the bars, my DoTs, positioning, if any new monsters show up(cause i like doing blind runs of dungeons sometimes, did it just earlier with Fractal Continuum and had a grand ol time til the final boss), and wondering when the best time to use my Gcds are. Its admittedly good stress though, Im never like....really freaking out over it, more like I think up all these emergency rotations and try to match everyone elses play style at once.
