Don't you hate it when you know what you think you like about something but you're too scared to try and get it and experience it?

This is a very common and frequent thing for me coupled with a feeling/belief that I'm not worthy enough to be 'allowed' to pursue what I think I like.

Probably hugely linked to lack of self-confidence/worth/esteem, being socially anxious/inept/awkward, and other things such as financial limitations.

I'm mostly refering to dating and romantic situations but it applies in general to most things that as non-neuro-typical person I find quite challenging.
