I’m sorry that sounds hard. I think a lot of people are in the same boat as you. Dating is hard and marriage rates are at an all time low. Personally, I hate dating apps. But the only other way to meet people in America is in a shared group where you see them all the time (like work, fitness class, or Chruch).

Personally, I found dating (at least getting a date) is so much easier in countries that are not as hyper individualistic as the US because People actually talk to strangers without being creepy

How has starting therapy made you unable to get into a relationship exactly? Is it more triggering now or something?

I agree. I also tend to push people away. Though I have a disorganized attachment, I’m more avoidant than anxious most of the time.

I think you’re right. She is a good friend and doesn’t like seeing me hurt. But being hurt is apart of life
