She tried to apply on a guild with members similar with her age, but refrained in doing so, because she was too anxious.
She then being scouted and invited by a guild because of her performance, but she declined it, also because of the same reason.
Because social anxiety cose fear, the bigger the anxiety the bigger the fear. So yeah she didn't reply and walk back when she find the courage to do it.
It's not something she have control over, that's why it's called a fear.
She then tried to do a quest solo, but somehow got paired by Crim, in which she barely does something throughout the quests, and acted like a shitty brat.
She didn't act like a shitty brat. The worst she did was to be on guard and then push the MC back when they fell. That's nothing realy special, she is in a quest in an unknow dungeon with someone she dont know when she expected to be do a solo quest, all of this in a game with open pvp and full loot...
Even the most extrovert player would be on guard if he is not a total retard. She is in a position where she could lost her stuff with a simple backstab...
Hell, she's still denying all the stuffs that Roper said, instead of introspecting her self, which clearly shown how bad her attitude is.
There isn't a single isntance of her denying any of what he said... She is a kid and it wazs shown at the start of this arc that she was aware that she had to change...
Like, you clearly never met someone who have a tendency for being an anti-social playing a game, where they rarely talk to others, but they still plays the game normally, and they communicate using other means, like pinging or using chat wheels.
I was like this when i was a teen and i know a few people who had it at least as bad at this loli, so i know realy well how it is. You say that she dont comunicate? She literaly spend her time talking with Mc... There are multiple chapter of her talking with MC and playing totaly normaly when there are things to do related to the quest...
while Crim himself were portrayed as the suuuuper patient player that doesn't mind grouping with a literal burden.
MC's not "patient" since there is nothing to be patient... loli is literaly acting wary, nothing else. She do her job fine as shown in the entire arc, the only moment she stopped was when the two dude came. And it's quite obvious that a little girl with anxiety would have a hard time talking to grown up.
Because that's what happened IRL, simple as that.
That's not how it work at all... This kind of fear either need the help of someone you're close with IRL or a huge number of year and hard work. Social anxiety is near inpossible to "cure" alone, like any other kind of mental issue.
which makes her a literal selfish cocky brat.
The entire start of this arc is author showing her and how she act, and he literaly showed that she knew that she was the issue...
I'm starting to wonder, do you only look at the image? you know that the text is not decoration and is here to be read...
Again, you, nor the author, NEVER met a real anti-social gamers in a real game, hence you're just basing it all from assumptions.
The moment you said that yes people can just stop being asocial, as if it requiered no effort, proved that
you are the one not understanding what he is talking about.
Ascocial people in MMO barely every join goup, and when they do they never use voice but Lycoris did, jus this prove that she try to open up.
When MC asked her to join she ended up giving in. The near totality of asocial people will not give any care about you asking, they will do their life and not care, because the vast majority of people who are asocial and play online game are old enouth to not even care anymore about tring and get over their issue.
To top it all, in a full online pvp game someone like this would never join someone they dont know when this persone have a rumor about being a pk. Asocial people are even more warry than other in this kind of game, because they play solo and they know other could just try to bait them in a trap laid by a group.
Did you feel hurt when i said that people who insulted an asocial kid were retarded? Cose it sure feel like this reading this, after all, the only thing i did was point out the idiocy of people like you telling someone "lol just stop feeling any fear".
The funniest is that i'm sure ou felt smart writing it...
