    Let's all talk about this thing. It doesn't need to be clinically diagnosed anxiety , just thoughts and feelings you have about talking to people, making friends....The more intimate the better


    I'll start : The main issue for me when it comes to people, is that I have a terrible fear of disappointing them. I guess it's becomes I'm young and still feel the need to be liked haha. But I always get nervous when I have to speak to people a second or a third time cause then I'll have to live up to their expectations....

    My anxiety comes out the worst when it's an attractive guy looking at me and starts making moves on me or touching me/feeling me up. I feel a great deal of anxiety when the person in question begins to flirt with me or corners me. icon_redface.gif

    Fear of not meeting expectations is a very real fear that isn't a gay thing at all. It's also the fear that underlines fear of public speaking for many. The fear of being imperfect. "What if they don't like me?" "What if they hate my speech?" etc. Through my job, I was able to find a "Life Coach" who helped me big time. If you're interested in learning more about it, try reading a book called, "Feel the fear and do it anyway". It basically says that through repeated exposure to what you're afraid of, the mind gets used to it and the fear subsides.

    The dating version of this is to bring down your expectations from "OMG THIS IS MY ONE CHANCE TO WIN OVER THE MAN OF MY DREAMS, I MUST DO THIS!" to "Let's see how many things we have in common."

    My biggest fear is that the other guy sees right through me, how boring my life and I truly are. My brain does a pretty desperate scramble to find questions I could ask him about or topics to discuss. Silences kill me.

    Hmn.. it seems a lot of people have anxiety about the social interaction part. icon_neutral.gif I guess I'm one of the few who gets more flighty/nervous/feels butterflies in my stomach when the guy makes a move on me, touches my hand, holds me, looks into my eyes, gets real close...


    AHHH, I'm getting anxious just thinking about it!

    AMEN. I get really worried that he won't really like me much on closer inspection. I have no problem striking up conversation - I enjoy it. But once it gets to touching in any way, I become really reserved and nervous.

    Then's there's that tipping point, that I'm slowly approaching, where age and gravity morphs the 'shelf' into a drop-leaf table.
