Pressure

Honestly that's pretty normal. Rank gets to your head, makes you feel that you have to be at a certain point to be good, to be a winner, to have an opinion, etc. It doesn't help that others echo this nonsense that your brain provides despite it being just that, nonsense.
Rank in a lot of games does matter but it doesn't mean any of those things. It should honestly be ignored unless you have a goal that you're reaching for (at which point the pressure is a positive thing)
As for DBD specifically, it helps to remember that Rank is just a matchmaking tool. It's just there to try and keep good players away from new players and is otherwise pretty pointless. A rank 1 isn't guaranteed to be better than a rank 10. They're just guaranteed to have played longer that season. Looking at it this way helps me play when I feel anxious about being too low a rank or too high a rank.
If all else fails and you can't relax while playing ranked games, take a break from them. Seriously, sometimes you just need a break from things that your brain marks as competitive.

Ranking system doesn't really mean anything to me, I don't pay attention to it much.
I just play the game, I don't worry about trying to rank up, if I'm playing for fun, if I had a reason to care about the ranking system, I'd start.
