It's been a tough week across the globe. Share your thoughts in our new 2008 Financial Crisis support group.
I've dated a little now and have come to the painful reality that I still have a communication problem. I was hoping it would be better with someone new, wrong!! That was a foolishly optimistic assumption. I want my dating experience to be enjoyable and fun, but right now it's not. Most of my conversations have been pretty awkward and it doesn't seem to matter who I'm with - it's still hard. I've started reading "When Panic Attacks" by Dr David Burns that is supposed to help address any kind of anxiety - social, shyness, etc, and I hope that is going to help. I know I am a great person and this is all going to get better, but it sure is rough right now!!!

I do understand how you feel. I do believe things will get better for you. I guess you will have to try and step outside of the box and just open up. It will happen. Like you said. You are a great person. It will all work out for you......Take care

Take it easy, it's ok. I've read that book and it's a good one. Also is one called "Feeling Good" I'll have to get back to you on the author.

I know exactly how u feel, I can talk all day on the internet but get me outside my space/home and I become quiet and shy. I think when I start talking that they are thinking will she please shut up, or I end up saying something offencive or hurtful without meaning to. All I can say is keep trying surely its got to get better.

your better than me, bec I wont date anymore. All done with that! Tired of dealing with people who already want something from you right out the gate, and with women, they want a roll in the hay and will pretend to be a nice person to hopefully get it. I cannot and will not play russian roulette with my emotions anymore.
So my heart goes out to anyone brave enough to go out there. I think the more you worry about anxiety the more anxious you will feel. I think you will meet someone who makes you feel so at ease that communication is easy.
It can happen! Take care hon
