Anxiety and depression

Am I the only one that gets crazy bad anxiety when first talking to someone to potentially date? I feel like I’m crazy because I become so attached. All of my friends have solid significant others and I can’t seem to hold onto a man. I don’t know what’s wrong with me.

It is not a contest or race to achieve that you must have because your friends do.... no one is really keeping score if they are it says more about them then you. 

if you become attached or seem to want to move things along faster then they naturally would that might be ending things before they  even began for some guys .

You are not alone in this i know many who have done this sort of thing a great couple or i thought and once the situation crashed i saw that they rushed into not only a relationship but also  a marriage and lost themselves in the process.

You're definitely not alone in feeling this way. First dates can be nerve-wracking for many people, and anxiety is a common response. It's important to remember that building a meaningful connection takes time, and it's perfectly normal to feel attached early on. Be kind to yourself and remember that everyone's journey in love is unique. Focus on self-care and personal growth, and the right person will come into your life when the time is right. Your friends' relationships aren't a reflection of your worth; your path is unique, and you'll find the right person who appreciates you for who you are.

@affectionateSpruce9262 there's nothing wrong with you ❤ and there's no rush, no need to keep up with others. I've never dated before so I'm not sure, but I guess it's like meeting anyone new, I don't look them in the eyes, to start with. Until I ease into the conversation or know they are friendly. But yeah I don't really no what's best to say sorry. So I'm just gonna give you a giant tiny hug ❤
