Have you ever felt love or dating could never be for you?

You'd be surprised how easy dating can be once you get on the scene. I too have anxiety and for sure would be extremely shy and reserved, but if we don't allow ourselves to be vulnerable, well it's not good to stay cooped up all day at home.

A lot of the worries and anxieties I have, come from overthinking. I'm slowly learning that I can't control every situation, and the only thing I'm in charge of is myself.

I hope one day I can start meeting others because I really am tired of being alone.

I'm a good person, I'm kind and caring, relaxed, laid back and thoughtful. I'm the "Knight in shining armor" that so many dating profiles talk about and yet here I am, left alone and passed over because I'm "too nice of a guy" from what one woman said many years ago, but according to their friend they didn't think they were good enough for me.

I've felt that way before, it has been more that I've been so unlucky with it that I just wonder if it's possible for me to have the love and relationship I want. I once stopped dating a guy because I felt I wasn't good enough for him, now I look back and realize that it was just my own securities taking the wheel.

You are worthy! Don't sell yourself short and don't let that little voice in the back of your head tell you otherwise.

I question myself as to how it is possible that, possessing many attributes that most women would find appealing, comforting and secure, I rarely find opportunities to pursue women that I would deem approachable.
Not patting my own back or anything, but I am confident in myself and know how to treat a lady with dignity and respect.
What I find is that most of the women I have met lack confidence in themselves... and that's a shame. People should love themselves for their individualism. If you can't love yourself, it is impossible for someone else to love you. That is just my honest assessment of what I have found over the last couple of years. Learning from past mistakes, I am not in a hurry to settle for companionship that I know has no future

I feel like I don't have enough love in myself and therefore it would be unfair to another person if I tried to initiate anything. Maybe if I met the right kind of person it would come back but I can't even daydream anymore. I lost the sense of romance, tenderness and caring. It's not like I had much of real experience but when I was younger I could at least daydream about those things, I could write stories and emotions flowed through me and made me feel good. It doesn't come to me much now, I feel weirdly cold and numb inside.

I think things like this become a self-fulfilling prophecy. If we feel like we're not worthy we project that, people pick up on it.
I think I felt that way when I was really young. I'm not even sure how I overcame it. I think I gained confidence in other areas of my life and gradually it bled into how I approached love and relationships.

The more people that I talk to, the more people I find with anxiety

We are a society filled with anxious folks

I try to be as understanding as possible and hope that others will reciprocate

Have wondered that, yes. A question I often ponder. Seldom do I date. I prefer chance meetings that blossom into connections. Never experienced true love. Will I ever? Maybe love is not for me. I yearn for it to be. No one sticks around long enough.

Everytime I see your posts I see a woman who has so much love and so many talents that it's only a matter of time before a guy confesses not just his infatuation but love.

not rly? I've actually almost nvr been single since 2nd grade lol 😎😎😎 what u rly need is 2 work on urself 2 have a glow up then put urself out there, trust me it's pretty easy 4 us girls 2 date lol 😁😁😁

Yes I worried all the time that I would never find someone to love me. Dating was a nightmare for me. I hated it so much.

Yes I no longer believe that love is in the cards for me. I'm not looking for it.

Yes definitely.

Yep. Been single for 14 years.

🤔 .. I know what I have to offer ...

Now, whether anybody wants it, THAT is a whole different thing 🤣🤣

Most of my life.

I cant wait to be 70 and look like a prune and all my friends will look like prunes too. Then they will ask me for advice on coping with life without being aesthetically pleasing...And I'll be sipping my whiskey and be like "Well, my friend...." :)

I am starting to think that because every time that I believe that I have a future it disappears in front of my eyes

Some people are willing to overlook certain faults, like anxiety or depression. Some even think anxiety can be cute.

yes that is why im a christian

Dating is not for me😌

Yes
