Social anxiety and dating

Kim

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?

  • Yes I have social-anxiety, especially in the way of dating, I have withdraw for it as a result. So I guess that the worse-thing about having anxiety about such-things, is that it prevents you from developing your dating-chops, I may summon-up the courage if my-confidence and opportunities align at some-point.

    I have had hard-hits in the past and I have concluded that if it feels right to start then I’ll start, but I’m not going to rush myself and be something that I am not, for someone who is not themself either.. First I’ll date with my head and then I’ll date with my heart..
