This has been a problem that has plagued me basically since my anxiety/depression hit about 5 years ago. I've been trying to connect the two but I don't know what the problem is. It has to do with relationships, particularly with girls, or lack thereof. First thing's first, it doesn't matter but should show how much of a problem it really is. I'm a handsome guy, very imposing 6'7", yet extremely genuine, OVERLY sensitive (perhaps b/c of the anxiety/depression), and I deeply care what everybody thinks of me, good and ESPECIALLY bad. If somebody doesnt like me, people tell me to blow it off, and I know I should, but it affects me for a LONG time....increasing my depression, making me think how sad it is that they don't like me, because I have nothing but good intentions for everybody. I really haven't had a steady girlfriend for years now. I've had chances, but they always go out the window after the first date. I think it may be because I get so excited I scare them off? I definitly think way too much into things, could be another reason. I have no clue though. Just wondering if anybody else that suffers from these disorders also has the same relationship problems and can help me relate. (In the past before I had anxiety/depression I had so many incredible friends...not even close to an issue.
