ahhhh i’m so excited because i’ve never been in a relationship or even talking stage w a guy and this man is so sweet and my type. we are going to hangout again this weekend and i just don’t know how i am going to overcome being insecure around him. 

For example I was at the movies with my friends yesterday and even sitting next to my CLOSE friend i was fixing myself in the chair and feel i could never bare to sit comfortably next to a guy. I know i overthink too but ugh

I don’t want my anxiety to get in the way of me going for things. He says that I look really good and I believe him but idk. He is skinnier than me and pretty fit with muscles. I am not fat but have curves lol and i have a good amount of muscle. also i’ve actually lost like 85 pounds but still have that insecure part of me. 

I struggle with body dysmorphia and disordered eating but am doing better. And OCD which is where my anxiety evolved. 

I just never really gave myself the time of day and used to not watch romantic movies because i couldn’t picture a guy talking to me like that and i’d get sad..kinda fucked up ik. but i’m getting attention and i guess i don’t know how to deal with that.  

I will eventually of course tell him this deeper side of me and my struggles but it’s so new i don’t want to yet so I am looking for advice for the now. 


I guess i’m asking for help how to let someone love me..and be okay when he touches me. How do you deal with your anxiety in relationships?
