Social anxiety and dating

I’m becoming really down. I’m on antidepressants but I’m struggling. I’ve never experienced love and I feel jealous when I see my cousins with their boyfriends and I’m stuck in this shy socially anxious state. 

Is anyone else struggling with social anxiety and dating?

  • It's natural to want something someone else has, when it causes use to feel a desire we didn't know we had or bring to surface something we feel we cannot obtain. It's actually called Envy.

    Jealousy is a term involving protecting someone we've invested in and or feel betrayed by. It can be a positive thing as it can keep a marriage together so long as feeling the emotion isn't followed by trying to assert control over another. It's really tricky.

    Love offers many sensations: a sense of connexion, a sense of protecting and being protected, a sense of adoration and then Love requires much of us: heartbreak, allowing, investing, it is emotionally hard and euphoric simultaneously. 

    But, should you want to find someone you can share life with in some ways, needed tasks are helpful: a solid hygiene routine, mental growth, showing up to places and groups of interest, and so on. Develop friendships. These make for the best relationships. :) And yes. It's a struggle.
