...See more So, one of the things is really enjoy doing is reading, specifically romance novels. I love to read, it is an activity that I could do for hours and not get tired of it. But lately, the mere thought of starting a book or just thinking about reading causes me great stress and anxiety. I start getting that tingling sensation on my body and a pressure on my chest. It feels like I've been doing something wrong, like if reading were forbidden and someone is going to find out. In all the years I've been a fan of reading it always felt like my way to unwind and scape reality for a little while. I've come to think that one of the possible reasons for this is the fact that I'm almost 30 and never had a significant other, never been on a date, never been in love and never been pursued or have anyone interested in me. Reading romance novels was my way to feel connected to the feeling of love by someone outside my family and friends. And maybe is because I'm getting close to the big 3-0, but I'm starting to fear that it may never happen for me. That maybe I'm just bound to be alone forever. I really want to get back to reading since I love how it makes me feel and I love the stories. But I don't know what to do about the stress and anxiety I feel every time I try to get back into it. P.S.- sorry if everything I wrote isn't as coherent as I wanted I just needed to express everything before I pretend vis not happening.
