That's the secret of every extrovert. The real difference between introverts and extroverts isn't skill or ability, it's that extroverts don't care if other people see them failing or looking like jerks.

It's also the reason why you see such moronic behavior on reality tv shows. Only supremely confident extroverts could get away with acting like that on television.

Don't be so hard on yourself.
It's not Gods who make pots, so you'll manage with review.
I'd say pick game you really like, I mean absolutely, your most favored. And simply explain why you like it. As much as blend this may sound, but we are different, and variety is the spice of life, so don't worry about your review being "not as good as someone else's". I for one enjoy exploration in games, so while other people crawl 4 hours through rainy night forest, avoiding enemy patrols only to be shot by enemy sniper from 800 metres with AMR in ArmA, all I do is pursuing rabbit, taking screenshots of it.
Of course, there were times when I was crawling with those people, but now I want to explore, to find all mushrooms hidden in forests (no, it's not Skyrim, you can't pick them up:)), to find interesting spots and so on. I don't think ArmA2 is great rabbit photo hunter simulator, no (though it's tempting), just don't worry about writing. I'd say people who do something with passion will always find better response from others.

Walk on with hope in your heart and you'll never walk alone.

Isn't psychologists for rich people?
Also I have pretty much social anxiety. It's not a fun way to live but it is one way. Still sounds fun idea to review games if it helps.
"this games sucks, oh sorry I cannot write so well 'cos I'm in horror" =P

I know what you feel and baby steps take forever.. that's why we occasionally drink beer.

I once was shy with my opinions or what not, it feels great when you actually do not fear what you say and realize that you only fear that occasions and world. =)

At least for me. I don't fear people it's just this globe.

Do you have some medication? Usually it is not first that thing you have, I some psychologist. (eh.. I mean it is not the first thing that people get for cure, is some shrink")

the old joke on what to say when applying for jobs:

-"So can you tell use about one of your character flaws?"
-"I may sometimes have a little bit too high opinion about myself, but other than that - I am perfect"

For OP. Try to make your self-esteem better and try to go out.

I know it sounds lame and it is but we all try to do it. =) (also try to think differently -apple)

Are they hiring IGN leftovers now?

You don't write so many reviews but your pictures from games say much. Horrible.. horrible games. =D

Just do what I do:
1.) Write a crappy review
2.) Post it on the boards
3.) ???
4.) Profit!

That's true.. Why I didn't make reviews and profit. seems like ten years wasted. =/

Oh wait you actually profit Fenixp? I thought it was some urban legend.

I think the hardest thing about reviewing a game here is the 5 stars system. I wish there were 10.
Otherwise writing a review is not harder than writing a forum post. I recently wrote a review about Gomo, I felt a little bad about it since it was a gift but the fact is I thought it was not very good game for an adult. I just wrote what I felt.

I also have an anxiety disorder, do you take medication? I tried the psychologist route but it did not work for me. I currently see a doctor who specialize in psychiatry and a social worker who's aim is to help me reintegrate society.
I recently started doing something I had been unable to do for the last few years: Answering the phone when the display does not reveal who it is.

Another thing I force myself to do when I have the money is go to a local bar when they're not busy. I bring something to read and pass a nice afternoon with some human interaction.

I've never read in a bar...except for tramp stamps.

I think you've already made a giant step in bringing up the courage to go and see a therapist and open up to her, that's quite impressive IMO. If you've recently played through the game, you could post the review in the Games Finished in 2014 thread. :)

I get free rep, and as we all know, when you have over 1700 rep, GOG gives you free games for every 50 points.
Yes, always open yourself to the rapist.

Pardon my amateur opinion but I think your psychologist is full of crap and this is why: Reviewing games is a one-way form of communication. Let's say people end up not liking your review and vote it down, it could make you feel even more anxious than you already feel right now, plus you won't have a chance to ask those people who down vote you why they did it and there is a risk you'll end up blaming yourself and shutting yourself off even more, seeing the seemingly 'failed' attempt at reaching out as validation for not reaching out anymore.
I suggest trying opportunities and ways of communication that are two-way and if possible in real time and in person so you'll learn to be more spontaneous, get used to reading and reacting to body language and not obsess about each and every word for fear that there's a possibility for misunderstanding or downright offense. So the internet may not be the best place to practice reducing anxiety. If you feel overwhelmed by real time offline conversation, here are a couple tricks:

-first of all know this: almost everyone is way more insecure than they let on, especially those that try to overplay it, also beautiful and successful people who you might think have divine confidence are often nervous wrecks.
-imagine that the world outside your apartment is also part of your apartment and all those little humans running around are guests of your house and not strangers. When you feel at ease wherever you are, you (peacefully) own the place and will be less anxious.
-there is no need to stare into someone's eyes just because people say eye contact is paramount, it isn't.
-you don't have to answer immediately or speak quickly, you can take your time. Even if people start getting nervous, loud and demanding, don't let them dictate the pace of the conversation. You be the Time Lord! Unless someone is holding a gun to your head, there is no need to be quick. If you stay calm, they will calm down. If they don't then they are just asswipes and it's not your fault.
-be honest, there is no need (or time) to tell the entire truth all the time but stick to saying what you think and you won't have to worry about 'getting your story straight' or which 'filters' to use for what people. Doesn't mean you go out and offend everyone, as I said the entire truth is virtually never necessary but don't make up stuff or you'll just become more and more nervous
-if you feel intimidated by a person, picture them sitting on a toilet taking a dump. No one looks scary in that position, not even Lord Tywin.
-don't force yourself to go approach people if that is too hard for you at the moment but use opportunities when people speak to you first and try to gradually keep the conversations going on longer than the bare minimum.

Just a few ideas that popped into my mind, there's a ton more stuff you can do, all little things but I think it helps with the big picture.
