Hi guys,
I hope everyone is doing well :). I just recently joined the site and wanted to write a quick instruction. (I don’t really engage with online communities ever, or spend much time on the internet, so this is definitely a change for me).
My name is David and I am 20 year old student from the United States. I have struggled with social anxiety for the majority of my life, but in the last few years I have made huge changes in my life and through medication and therapy am no longer controlled by my anxiety in almost every part of my life. There is just one frontier I have to conquer and that is my anxiety with women.
I went from someone who only two years ago could barely talk to women to someone now who has been able to to go out with and date a wide variety of women. And I am super proud of how far I have come. But now I am a bit stuck and need some help. I have finally come to terms with the fact that I can’t do this alone.
I have had some pretty bad/traumatic experiences with women in the past (before I was able to tame my social anxiety), rejection, humiliation, cheating, abandonment and these memories are still ingrained in my subconscious. So much so that the first thought I have whenever I see a beautiful women is that I am unworthy even though I have had beautiful women in my life for the past two years.
My goal is in the next 4-6 months is be a point in my life where I no longer need women to validate me and where I have the confidence and skills to be able to approach/talk to any women in an honest, real and vulnerable way without having any anxiety or fear.
If any of you have any suggestions for my journey and would like to share your experiences I would really appreciate it! 🙂
Al the best, Dave
