Hey guys, I’m 32F and have severe social anxiety (and mmd) and yesterday my fiancé and I had our engagement pics taken. I was so nervous prior, I haven’t really done this kind of thing before. I was also nervous and awkward with kissing him in front of a camera but my fiancé was so sweet and adorable during, talking to me and saying sweet things. I felt so loved and felt entwined with him and looking into his eyes. I can tell he was nervous too and that helped me feel less alone with the feeling. I was so proud of myself for going through with it. And I’d like to do it again because it ended up being a lot of fun as well as getting me out of my comfort zone. I have avoided planning a wedding because the whole process makes me want to throw up, it doesn’t sound like fun to me. Being the center of attention and having a crowd of people you know watching you and expecting things. We are planning on a small wedding, possibly in city hall or our backyard esp because of covid and also I just want to get the thing done and I’m scared of ppl lol. It took us awhile to even get these photos done which was a gift from our realtor, thanks to her we got to experience something new together. I hope this inspires those to try something new even though it’s scary before and during. Just doing it is cool enough.
