Would you date a girl with anxiety?

[venus-and-mars]

Guys if you liked a girl but she was suffering from severe anxiety would that stop you from asking her out as you wouldn't want to or be able to deal with that or would you go for it prepared to help her work through it knowing some days she may not be able to do too much? I'm very intrigued to hear people's opinion on the situation so please comment too (:

Yes

No

[jamesmark1903]

I have autism. Autism is a social disability. My autism is milder (thankfully). It has still caused problems for me and has almost destroyed me. To be honest, I get rejected by girls quite a lot and also can’t seem to maintain existing relationships with my friends and family. Autism is a relationship killer and it destroys me from inside everyday. Anxiety is nothing compared to it.

To answer your question. I wouldn’t mind dating a girl with severe anxiety. I hope some girls out there wouldn’t mind dating someone like me.

[venus-and-mars]

Any situation like that is so hard to be in and go through alone. I'm sure there definitely will be girls out there who would love to date you.

[jamesmark1903]

I’ll be dealing with my things alone and stop chasing girls. I have had my fair share of chasing countless amount of girls and getting rejected.

[venus-and-mars]

I'm just finding it hard how to act without pushing them away. Especially cause right now I need more attention then I would've needed before and to be shown affection when apart but without being too needy

[jamesmark1903]

Are you talking about guys in general? I started follow you. Tell me more about your problems in my inbox.

(1) Normal "shy girl" anxiety - yes
(2) Mild clinical anxiety - yes
(3) Anxiety associated with bipolar disorder/unipolar depression - no
(4) Anxiety associated with borderline personality disorder - a HELL NO

[venus-and-mars]

Mine is severe anxiety atm but no bipolar or anything like that.

[10dsw]

Hmm. I don't know if I personally could then. I know women like this and they are a severe drain tbh. There are certainly many men that probably would though

[venus-and-mars]

Yea and i guess it depends on the person like I still travel but somedays i find real hard and may not be wanting to leave the house and then the next I'm running around an amusement park. I find also the people around help but at the end of the day it's still quite severe cause when it does occurs it's strong

[RoseyJade]

I wouldn't date someone with anxiety like that. I myself deal with pretty bad anxiety, and the relationship would probably need do well if we both have severe anxiety. I'm willing to be good friends with that person and be supportive in anyway I can, but dating wise I wouldn't.

[venus-and-mars]

That's understandable. Do you find it hard in relationships, like how are people towards you?

[RoseyJade]

Relationships have always been hard for me. Only until now have I actually found someone who can calm down, deal with my problems, and actually make me smile when I'm down. Most people don't understand it that well, unfortunately. So throughout time either I broke up with them because it wasn't working or they broke up with me due to not wanting to deal with it anymore.

[venus-and-mars]

I find that people with anxiety aren't that difficult like people think. For me anyway I just need someone patient, understanding and who shows me affection and attention. If o have that then I'm sweet and can get through situations so much easier!

[RoseyJade]

Yeah, well some guys seemed so committed at first or like the one, but in the end either they didn't want to deal with it anymore or I just felt like the relationship was giving me too much stress. It could just be the guys I've dated or how a lot of guys are around my age, I don't know but I just have had bad experiences in the past with relationships.

[AaronKrieger]

I'm willing to be supportive and all, but if it get's to the point where it's starting to affect me in a negative way then I will probably end it. That's what happened in my last relationship with someone who had anxiety.

[venus-and-mars]

That's a good way to look at it. At least you'd be willing to try

[Pyrofox]

Definitely would... Though i'd probably end up putting her through a lot of anxiety attacks unintentionally as i'm a bit of a dare devil.

[venus-and-mars]

But you would be fine being there when she needed for support and understand that she may not be up to going out a lot and having to take things slow (slow as in baby steps to doing more out of house stuff)?

[Pyrofox]

If she doesn't mind possibly getting dragged to my niece's music lessons lol sure I got time.

[SirRexington]

I suffer from it to. Pretty bad actually. Me and her can be anxious together, though I'd assume we'd cancel each other out and balance it.

[venus-and-mars]

At least you would be able to understand each other and encourage eachother to push through it

[SirRexington]

Yeah that's what I meant. I would hope to be a form of relief for her, a hug can go a long way.

[jessture]

I did and can never do it again. I felt as if I was walking on eggshells the whole time and couldn't do anything spontaneous

[venus-and-mars]

That's what im scared of guys thinking with me. Thank you for answering

[Vitamins]

I wouldn't want to be with someone who is anxious and scared all the time. I'd like to be with someone who's independent.

[venus-and-mars]

That's a fair point. Thanks

[BHooper]

I love to help others with what ever they are going through. So i would date someone with anxiety as I could help them through what their going through.

[venus-and-mars]

That's good to hear. Thanks

[abc3643]

Oops. I voted Yes when I meant to vote No.

Absolutely not.

Life is too short to save the world.
Why settle right at the start of a relationship when so many mentally healthy women who don't need psychotherapy are available and may want you.

[abc3643]

In the interest of honesty, when I was young, I was less experienced and more idealistic and likely would have been fine with the idea of dating such a girl.

Now, having been with a few choice vaginal loons, now way I would do that again.

[venus-and-mars]

Fair enough. I know from what im like anyway that there are pros and cons to it. Even though I find it hard to do some things I still travel and havw become very open minded since it has occurred. I'm also a lot more sympathetic and wanting to make someone happy where as I know a lot of women who may not have a mental illness but are crazy asf and controlling but thank you for your opinion it's good to see people's views on it (:

[abc3643]

"I know a lot of women who may not have a mental illness but are crazy asf and controlling"

... like my wife.

Frankly, I would never date again.

[Tohhru]

I would but as long as she doesn't get to paranoid thinking that I don't like her or other things

[venus-and-mars]

As long as you show you care and can give her the reassurance there shouldn't be any reason for being paranoid

[Tohhru]

Yeah Im good at that, no problem there

[sunshine97_]

Also DON'T ever compare her to other girls or indicate you find another girl attractive (even if you do). She really does not need to hear that, you can keep that comment to yourself. Or she will definitely get paranoid, it will be irreversible to fix.

This is from experience.

[bomotion]

That would probably work out better for me. I don't really like large crowds anyway.

[faisalgrey]

I have anxiety and I don't see how it could be a problem for anyone

[venus-and-mars]

It seems to be. That's why I'm asking :/

[DamnCurtis]

Yes, I would like to think that I could overcome such challenges.

[UltimateGohan]

Love can cure anything so why not

[venus-and-mars]

That's what I like to think (:

[name__is__msn]

Meet me to experience anxiety at higher energy levels

[Anonymous]

As a guy with anxiety himself, I'd date a girl quite similar to me. Plus i'd be willing to help her.

[Czarr]

Already am and in love

[venus-and-mars]

That's awesome!

[benjaminashton]

My favorite girls are those who have anxiety.

[venus-and-mars]

Why's that? Haha

[benjaminashton]

Those girls need attention. They should see mercy and kindness from a guy to be cured soon.

[venus-and-mars]

Yea definitly need to feel loved and shown we are cared about

[benjaminashton]

of course

[Anonymous]

No, confidence is attractive

[venus-and-mars]

Anxiety doesn't mean your not confident. I have it and i would sometimes be the most confident person around

[Opinion Owner]

Would you date a guy with anxiety?

[venus-and-mars]

Yea. Before I got it I dated a guy with anxiety and depression and he was actually one of the nicest guys and one of the only ones to treat me right

[Opinion Owner]

and what happened to him?

[venus-and-mars]

I wasn't ready for a relationship at the time. Was nothing to do with him I was just dealing with stuff at the time

[thisisbreana123]

If I was bi or lesbian yeah

[SidKnee]

Sure but not bipolar disorder too hard on me

[Freelancer95]

It would be a bit hippocritical of me not to 😂

[manthan69]

Why not. Don't have reasons but yes for sure

[hise-DepartmenT]

Yes but it depends how severe and which type.

[Kataliakos]

No I would just keep her orgasming

[Hungry_Shark]

Ofcourse

[Decentguy]

sure i would

[Anonymous]

Pass.
