tankxiety 

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".

Friend: "Shut up. EVERYONE has tankxiety when they first start, but it's just because you're stressing over the little stuff."

Tankxiety 

The anxiety felt by one when they think that there isn't enough fuel in their gas tank to complete a trip.

Tankxiety is known to be accompanied by anger and a sense of false security after thinking that one is safe. (See example.)

The terminology comes from a portmanteau of the words "Tank" and Anxiety."
