Hi all.

I'm starting to get anxiety writing this but I am going to try to push through.

I am a 22 year old girl with social anxiety. I get really nervous before going to work or anything to do with talking to people that I don't know. I have found that I am quite lonely a lot because of this.

I want to be able to start dating but I find it so hard to get out of my head. When on dating apps, I can't even bring myself to like people let alone talk to them. I have had people tell me that they had crushes on me during high school and I felt so awkward that I had ghosted them just to get some relief. 

Any advice would be helpful. I do go to a counsellor and have tried to push through my anxieties but I'm struggling a lot in my head. 

Thanks.
