This is a sensitive topic, of course. But I’m interested in how anxiety has impacted us all.
No matter what you share, someone will read it and think, “Me too,” because we’re not as alone as we think. Even if someone doesn’t respond to validate your answer , just know that it was read and you’re not alone , okay??
Maybe you’re a virgin because it’s a fear and/or you haven’t dated much. Maybe you feel isolated and it’s hard to make friends or keep them.
How does anxiety affect you socially?❤️
Had anxiety for almost 4 years relating to health issues I've had over that time. I'm 18 now, not the most popular kid around to say the least, got my mates but we are near the bottom of the social ladder. Used to have a lot more close friends and be a lot less shy before anxiety and other problems kicked in. Don't get me wrong I never did well with the ladies, have never had a girlfriend but that was because I was obese. Have lost 4 stone in the last 2 years because there was this one girl in my school, I thought she was perfect. Had what I wanted to say to her all ready in my head to say for prom but on the day crippling anxiety killed it for me, I was so awkward, couldn't get the words out in the end. That was my last chance. I guess it will happen for me in the end, meet someone elsewhere, sort my head out but I was so gutted when it didn't come together that night. My other health problems meant that I had to leave early, couldn't even try again.
when u meet the right oerson things will fall into place.
I haven't really had any issues socially or dating wise from anxiety except that it keeps me from doing things that I would like to do.
I'm not a big traveler but I def would travel a lot more if I didn't have such bad anxiety. And just in general, there have been soooo many times I've gone out with friends and made up some excuse for me to take my own car bc I didn't want to carpool, in case I felt anxious and needed to leave early I wanted my own car. It's just annoying to have to do things like that. I wish I could just do things without worrying about anxiety.
I dont have a social life at all my health isn't good and the anxiety restricts me
