...See more Hey everyone! I'm currently new to 7 Cups and I would like to share my anxiety and insecurities. I've currently been in an on and off long distance relationship for almost a year and I'm very in love with my boyfriend. We haven't seen each other in person yet (but we facetime and video chat constantly so I know he's not a catfish LOL). He just completely understands me and he's never broken my trust. However, there's always a problem. It's me. My insecurities, anxiety, and trust issues are really impacting this relationship. I've never been in a serious relationship before and my past with guys have consisted of just being a "thing". I'm trying to figure out the roots of this problem. During my childhood, I went through a lot of emotional abuse from my family. Constant pressure and many hurtful comments. I never felt good enough for them and I feel like maybe this is why I'm feeling like I'm not good enough for my boyfriend. I've also been really insecure about him being tempted to cheat on me. Whenever he goes out with friends to drink, I get scared that he'll be tempted to talk or do something with another girl. It puts me through so much anxiety and I start to overthink and panic about the littlest things. He always gives me reassurance and tells me that I'm the only one. He always tells me he only loves me, but I still get that paranoia and I want to stop that. Whenever he goes to a party or out with friends, I start to overthink and panic again. I get scared that he might get too drunk and start doing irrational things with other girls.
