Guys, would you date a girl with social anxiety?

Question

I have social anxiety so it's a struggle for me to get out of the house. And when I do I often have anxiety attacks. People make me feel like I'm screwed up and no one would ever want to put up with that. I get "Maya, you're over reacting" on a daily basis. O lawrd someone get the holy water.

No, I would not.
It's not about me being an intolerant jerk though. I could totally see myself falling in love with and dating a girl with a physical disability. However, mental/emotional "conditions" (depression, social anxiety, personality disorder, schizophrenia etc. etc.) are things I cannot and don't want to deal with. In my opinion, a relationship can only function if both partners have enough emotional strength to keep themselves afloat. I need a partner who can "deal with her life" and doesn't need me as her personal therapist/life coach. I believe that any kind of emotional condition would be a huge strain on a relationship and would probably lead to its demise eventually.

yes, i have anxiety to but there are some people that make me feel safe and it doesn't happen around. So i would date you, if i knew you, and we would get through it. Dont worry there's always something out there for you.

I understand, I have a degree of anxiety myself and it makes meeting new people difficult and I went through a break up which has been extremly difficult and started seeing a female therapist every 2 weeks due to past personal issues

Sweetheart your only 13. Focusing school and not boys. Boys are dumb especially at your age. There will be a few guys who will put up with it later in life and he'll by that time you'll over come this or you'll know how to deal with it better.

Yeah. I'd like go out with you to cozy, but public bars for a drink or to a park to let you get used to it

Honestly, it would make me feel untrustworthy. I desire women who can handle who I am so I don't have to hold anything back.

Just_n1k · Answer

Sure. Because of my affectionate nature I would probably embrace the idea actually. I would have someone to reassure and encourage. Maybe we could work through it together

Anonymous · Answer

I would because I have a small form of it😊 so I would be more understanding. but remember you have to warm up eventually Because it'll feel like you're not interested in them

Sure. So long as I could get her to open up to me.
