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?

  • Absolutely. I’ve been there before, and it’s so easy to think you’re the only one. I remember feeling like I would never feel real love, and there must be something wrong with me. Really torturing myself over it. When in reality there was nothing wrong with me what so ever, I just hadn’t been lucky enough for it to happen yet. 

    Although it is very hard at time please stay strong and try believe just because it hasn’t happened yet, doesn’t mean it never will.
