Does your anxiety/emet get in the way of you getting close to others (emotionally)? 'Cause ever since I developed anxiety (I think I was 10ish) I havent been able to really open myself up to other people. I don't know if that's from trust issues, or just the fear that they will judge me/not understand. I've always had body perception issues, but it really just started to become a big deal for me. I don't feel good enough/feel like a burden/feel undesirable because of my anxiety problems...like I don't want to get close to them and dump all of these crazy problems on them and have them leave, because I feel like that would hurt more. But it's an issues because, I mean, I'm 18 years old. I've never been in relationship. I've never been kissed. I've never even come close. Is anyone else like this? Or was like this? How can I...change it. I don't know. I'm tired of being alone.
