How could you view love as less intimidating?

Whether it be love, dating, etc I get just terrified I'm not enough. It's hard believing someone who has chronic social anxiety (me) , could be a good catch or match for anyone 🥺
I just wish I could view it all as less intimidating...

I don't know why you feel that way about yourself. You're fantastic.

@RosaMarie I was raised by a sociopath narcissist who also has BPD ....it was a hell.😟 I believed over time I shouldn't even exist. And then would act smaller over years ' time. Anything I did or felt etc was wrong, bad etc and my anxiety would become so high that I felt I simply was too tainted for any guy. That they'd run when they knew my issues.
I really appreciate your compliment, thanks Rosa🌹

@Coralmist I hope you are getting mental health care.

@RosaMarie I am but most therapists don't express tips or methods etc to treat trauma. I'm looking next into seeing a psychologist, perhaps they might provide more help and insight🌟

@Coralmist theropists aren't magicians. You have trouble managing and overcoming your demons. What they do is guide you to help yourself. They don't solve it for you. That takes time and trust and finding the one you connect with. Keep at it.

@RosaMarie That's true but unfortunately most of them I've seen don't even guide. No mention of affirmations, trying to challenge any of my fears together etc. It's overwhelming just trying to heal it alone. Someone at EP told me many therapists really are not helpful unfortunately , but if you find a good one it's "magical". Ty.. I will keep going 🍁

@Coralmist If you're not connecting with yours, move on.
