I think I just care so much about not dying that I get super stressed. I played Haven and Hearth for well over a year and a half (if I recall correctly), which is a game that also has perma-death and anyone can pretty much murder you. While playing Haven and Hearth, I had the same longing for not dying. Except not so extreme, really.
I think it's because in DayZ anyone can kill you, while in Haven and Hearth only well established plays have a chance of killing you. While exploring the NW airfields I only felt safe doing it on a server with two other people on the server. I only stay on low-pop servers and have actually disconnected a few times when I heard gunshots in the area.
I really need to take the game less seriously and loosen up. I just can't for some reason, however. The fear of loosing all of my gear and having all of that wasted playtime because of some goon who sniped me in the back is too great.
However, I still play it. If I die, the cycle will just repeat itself. Heh.
Sorry for the wall of text.

If you raid the airfield at Balota right when you spawn, you'll get a great assault rifle within 10 mins of char creation. That's the primary reason I don't really care if I die, I'll just respawn to grab a nice gun.

I love the feeling and atmosphere in this game, but it just stresses me out so much. Does it do this to anyone else?
I have honestly never had a game ever get my heart beating this fast when I realize someone is around me and could easily put a bullet in my back if they catch me off-guard. It's crazy.

That's exactly how I feel :I. I have a team of three but mostly play as 2.

it should also be noted that everybody kills no matter what, nobody trusts anybody and the new players that you meet on the coast will backstab you
maybe you'll find that one nice player that you'd want to play with again
maybe

Just killed a guy. He was running around killing zombies with an AKM. We asked him to come out of the apartment and get on the ground. He refused and said he'd kill us so we threw a grenade inside and killed him.
