Yes I am in the same boat. It’s just in the beginning when I fear if they like me or not. It stops when I get over them because they didn’t like me, or they do like me and that anxiety goes away... somewhat. Overall, it’s a problem you must overcome in your own mind, because that’s where it’s happening. Again, I’m in the same exact boat with the keeping myself busy thing... I keep myself busy for hours, getting work don’t, feeling happy about myself, and then I allow myself to go right back into the space where I become anxious about what others (one person) thinks of me. I think it’s because it’s so exciting to be wanted, and it’s fun to do things like this (dating, sex), but it’s not good for you YET. You want it so bad but you know it’s out of your control. For me, I end up sabotaging everything. I think the key is to not care about relationships or sex. It’s fun, exciting, but you can have both those things by yourself. This is something I am trying to understand over and over again as I continue to let myself slip down that rotten cliff. But when I start to form a healthy relationship with myself, satisfy myself sexually ALONE, I start to feel really good about myself. Another key is, focus on yourself to the point where you don’t even want somebody else in the picture. I know it’s scary, but other people will see it and you will stand on top of the cliff instead of sliding down it every time a cute boy seems to be interested in you. You’ll see that you’re happier alone and they have to prove them self to you (work their way up the cliff) so you can stand on top of it together

it’s a hard climb but believe me it’s worth it. I haven’t been there yet but it’s a journey we will be taking together. Good luck and stay strong, even when you want to collapse for temporary satisfaction.
