For some context, during my childhood/teens I was the videogames and YouTube kid and hence I don't have much experience when it comes to board games. It's limited to Uno and snakes and ladders.
As an adult, I have so much phobia around playing games with friends. It mostly stems from the fear that I won't understand the rules and slow everyone down, or making obviously bad moves and looking stupid, especially in strategy-heavy games. Any ways I can get over this? I know it’s not a big deal in reality, but it still makes me avoid any sort of "game night" like the plague.
