hi guys, well i want to talk about some of my BIGGEST PROBLEMS, well everytime i date someone i dread meeting their parents,family,friends,etc... i mostly just want it to be a one on one setting with the two of us because of my anxiety....i mean this is one of the hardest things ever for me..sometimes i cry about it because i wish to be that person who can meet and be around anyone and make good conversation and eye contact... i fear sitting on the couch in someones house with a crowd of people or even one or two people trying to mingle ....i freeze up,i'm so afraid that i jump when they move or if something drops,or if a noise is made... i try my best to stay out these type of gatherings..its so dam scary!! it hurt me so much!! i even want to start opening up to guys that i date because i never told anyone i dated that i have social anxiety,i just try to get out of certain situations...i feel maybe when i feel i really care about someone i need to share this with them... maybe my relationships will be better if they knew... guys please help me with this one.. do any of you have these problems?have anyone of you told your partners? did it make you feel better?thanks
