Letting it out

Post Reply New Topic

Felt like talking about how I cry everyday thinking that I'll stay alone for the rest of my life.
That's my anxiety trigger, every damn time I hear people talking about it I get anxious immediately.
I'm on meds. It's not like I hate meds or anything, but the fact that I have to be on them in the first place,
really bugs me. I have social anxiety (that is lowered with meds). I don't have autism. and I can't really talk to girls.

I understand. I have anxiety problems that I'm on meds for. They help a lot but they're not a cure, only a treatment that makes things more tolerable. I also HATED being single & HATED sleeping alone & struggled majorly to get a girlfriend. I have various physical issues along with various mental issues in addition to anxiety & being on the autism spectrum. I could really only talk to girls offline if I knew em a bit like if we worked at the same place or went to the same support group thing. It takes time for me to warm up to people & be able to talk to them a lot. I don't really consider hitting on girls offline until I know em a bit & then when I do decide someone might be a good match for me, I'm in the dreaded friend-zone with her & she is somewhat aware of my various issues & isn't interested in being more than friends. I had no luck at all on dating sites either. The 3 girlfriends I had I met on forums(the ladder two were this one) & getting them was kind of a fluke. The good news is that your in good company cuz it's fairly common for guys to struggle with talking to girls. Lots of comedians joke about it. & the singer Rick Springfield made a song about it
