A portmanteau of "Tank" and "Anxiety". The common occurrence in any MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online) game in which the main defensive and attention-holding party member, the Tank, expresses feelings of doubt and lack of self-confidence. Many players feel exposed and at high risk of being the "leader" of the party by being the tank, causing the worst cases of "tankxiety".
Paladin: "Look, I usually run healer, I don't know how to hold aggro yet. I can just learn tank another day..."
Friend: "Shut up. EVERYONE has tankxiety when they first start, but it's just because you're stressing over the little stuff."
