You know what I’ve realised? I don’t want a relationship for the sake of having a relationship.
I want one that means something, that’s something I’ve never had.
Whether it’s with a guy or a girl I don’t care, if they mean something to me then that’s all that matters. I want someone that makes me happy and that I can make happy, someone to love and protect but most of all someone that feels the same way about me. I’ve never had a real relationship because I suffer from social anxiety which often holds me back, but for the right person I’m willing to overcome that.

Good attitude 🙂 I did that once, had a relationship just for the sake of having one… and quickly realized settling doesn’t work for me and I’d rather be single than live a lie.
I’m pretty much in the same position as you are. I would rather be alone than be in a destructive, meaningless relationship. You really have to find the right person for you to be truly happy, but finding the right person is very, very difficult. I’m still searching…
My husband suffers from social anxiety yet we’ve mannaged to stay married 11 years now.he still has panic attacks but they are easy to deal with a little patience goes a long way.you can overcome your anxiety with maybe a few benzoes and a great councillor keep trying in time you will find someone maybe just like you I admit I suffer from anxiety but the secret is to keep on keeping on and trust that things will get better with a little posative though you can get to a better place good luck my friend
I suffer from bi-polar and social anxiety. I found someone who made my “normals” happier, brighter, less painful. However I kept hurting him during my “lows”, having delusions that I wanted to be on my own, and suchlike. But that was coming from my delusions, I didn’t mean it. But anyway, this time he said was the last time, he had enough of me hurting him through my lows and my constant breaking up him during my delusions, and begging him back when I came out of it.
So now he’s actually happy without me now, he’s found it so easy to throw 6 months away in 3 weeks. And I’m back to where I was before him. NEVER before had anyone lifted my normal up to something worthwhile. My normal constists of pointlessness, hopeleness, greyness, blandness. So tiring that the temptation of taking it all away for good, is there everyday. My lows are agony, torturous, instead of the usual hopeless grey, there’s suffocationg intense black, seeking to drown me and sink me into the abyss. At the same time, my highs are torturous too, the agony of do I let myself dare to dream and hope, and make plans for the future or not. And then actually believing that they’ll happen, making serious purchases in the dream that they come about….and of course they never do.
He lifted my normal to somewhere that I was actually learning how to smile and laugh for real, instead of faking it. But because of this thing in my head, I hurt him so much, that he just couldn’t give me ANOTHER last chance. And now he’ll never be mine ever again. I can’t eat, and whatever I do eat, I puke it back up, I can’t sleep, and whenever I do pass out through sheer exhaustion, I have the most hurtful and distressing dreams about him, and wake up crying. Love is no good, stay away from love. It is nothing but an agonising venom, a potent poison, all the more deadly as its taste is so sweet. Don’t put yourself through it.
I’m so sorry, I hope that one day you find someone else that can make your life feel worthwhile. I genuinely do, I’m so sorry
