I know. I have high anxiety myself. I'm upfront and honest about it. Yes, it does affect the relationship and cause issues, but by being open and talking about it, most people have been able to work with me on it and understand it.

Well heres what I use to do when it came to a situation like that. Simply just be yourself and who cares what other people think. I mean when I use to have conversations with other people and they use to give me that kind of "ok? Your wierd" kinda look and it use to get to me and I would stay quiet for the rest of the day. But with time, you start to realize that some people can just be jerks and they themselves are anti-social, therefore bringing you down. So heres the best thing to do, just forget what other people think and dont be afraid of what other people will say in return. If they wanna give you that kinda wierd vibe, theirs other people out there who are willing to conversate. So next time you have a conversation, kinda just practice by letting a lil more out lil by lil and your confidence will build, then after conversating with one person, take it up a notch and have a conversation with two people, and so on :) and when you conversate, if its with your parents or the person you like, just act as if they are just another person. :)

When social anxiety hits yu, how do you feel? Give me a lil senario so I can kinda understand nd help yu out a bit :)

When he can't laugh at himself, grumpiness, whiny, hasn't found who he is as a person, mixed signals, fakes who arrange to meet up but never really follow through with it.

Kinda funny that you think only the FIRST time should be special. Losing your virginity should be no more special then any other time you share your self in the most intimate way with someone else.

Just like the first time you do anything. There is a learning curve. Virgin sex is just bad since you have no idea what you are doing. Experience and not being uptight about sex makes sex that much more enjoyable. Practice makes perfect.

Casual promiscuous sex is just bad. Holding out for marriage is also just bad.

There are just some people that you arent compatible with sexually. What a rude awakening that would be when you find out after you are married.

Would you buy a car and not drive it first? Would you buy a pair of shoes and not try them on first?
