I’m (more or less) fine with people who I don’t find particularly attractive.. I’m still shy and awkward, but at least I can make semi-decent conversation and eye contact.
Thing is, whenever I try and talk to someone I think is good looking, I just can’t do it. I can’t even make eye contact with them without looking away instinctively. Whenever there is an attractive person in the same conversation as me I just stay quiet bc the thought of talking to them is too scary :// And on top of that, I have this really annoying thing where whenever I get the slightest bit embarrassed or nervous I just start crying (or my eyes water up a lot before I calm myself down) So people always end up asking if i’m ok/upset which only makes it worse because all the attention stresses me out. IDK why my body does that, but it’s been a thing for as long as i’ve existed 🙁
The problem with this, of course, is that i’m never able to get close to (or even just befriend) people i’d like to date, and those people usually think I am stuck up or boring when I do get a chance to interact with them. So i’ve never had the chance to date anyone, even though I want to. Have any of you faced this problem? Is there anything I can do about it?
