Hello all,
(23F) I realized that I have severe anxiety while dating, but it’s only when I start liking the person. I’ll see them consistently for a month and then i’ll start over analyzing all of our interactions, or I will start worrying about how long it takes them to reply, or that they didn’t text me. For background: i’m not even new to dating or socially anxious. I date a lot and have no problems meeting new people. It’s just when I develop feelings for someone when the anxiety and overthinking kicks in. It makes me feel very insecure, and it’s honestly taking a lot of mental energy and headspace. Sometimes it leads me to self sabotage budding relationships because I can’t keep these insecurities and anxieties to myself, so i’ll just shut the guy out or ghost him.
Is there any way to deal with this? I’m so tired of feeling this way. Thanks in advance!
