I(21F) have incredibly bad anxiety. It’s something I’m working on but it’s still pretty intense. I feel like outside of anxiety I would make a perfectly stable partner. I don’t get jealous, I’m good at making time for the people I love even when I’m upset, I’m good at compromise,  and i would consider myself a good communicator. 

It feels like my only undesirable trait  is my anxiety and all the ways it manifests( ie. anxiety attacks, needing physical comfort, needing verbal comfort, needing to vent)

I feel really bad about these things, and i wouldn’t want to annoy a partner with it. 

Also I have been extremely anxious lately and I’m wondering if it’s a bad idea to be searching for romantic interests in a time when i’m very anxiety ridden. however, i’m always anxiety ridden so i fear that if i put it off until i’m better, i’ll just never be able to date. 

should i not be dating until i get my anxiety under control?

 i don’t want to ever make someone feel like i’m only dating them bc i need someone to calm me down. I’ve  just finally want to start dating bc i think ive overcome my fear of it. however, general anxiety is still a big issue i deal with. 

do you guys have any input or opinions on this??
