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?

  • I struggle with social anxiety dramatically. I've never been on a date but I did do online dating but never pursued it as my anxiety got the better of me. Chance of potential happiness with someone who might have understood and supported my autism died over night.

    I don't know how to get over this crippling anxiety and be better socially but I do understand and relate.
