Hi,

I am a very anxious person and going on a date scares the crap out of me. I love connecting with people but can't push myself to go out. It feels like an endless cycle of feeling lonely but then too anxious to actually meet new people. What should I do?

Good advisor

Hi @KDoaap

How are you doing today?

Dating is scary for everyone. It requires you to put yourself out there and be vulnerable. It is even more difficult for people with anxiety. I will tag a few other members to see if they have any advice they can offer from their personal lives.

Do you have anxiety over dating? Do you worry about being alone? How do you cope?

Take care,
