Mental Blocks you may be experiencing (I personally have struggled with every single one)

• Compulsive adjustment of equipment and settings (mouse, keyboard, in-game configurations)

• Early-game confidence loss due to perceived lack of impact

• Heightened susceptibility to mood shifts caused by toxic teammates

• Tendency to deflect responsibility onto teammates (victim mentality)

• Preoccupation with teammates' perceptions of your performance

• Fixation on round/game outcomes rather than maintaining present focus

• Difficulty managing intrusive, overthinking patterns

• Allowing scoreboard status to dictate self-confidence levels

• Disproportionate emotional investment, where a poor game negatively impacts overall mood

• Confidence depletion in clutch scenarios, exacerbated by perceived judgment of decision-making

• Performance anxiety related to live-streaming game-play

• Self-doubt when competing alongside or against well-known players
