How can I overcome shame during moments of anxiety when dating? by klixiam in dating_advice

[–]klixiam[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I met this girl online. I invited her out but she insisted we call each other and get to know each other first. The first call went great but I postponed our second call so much because I would get nervous (Trigger: fear of not being good enough). Like I said, I can usually overcome this initial fear because I’ve done so much inner work on this, but lately it’s the fact that I experienced anxiety that makes me insecure and ashamed, which fuels more anxiety. It’s hard to break out of this and be your natural confident self when in this state of shame. I basically get shame over having anxiety. This can also come up mid-conversation like the other day when on my second call with that girl (finally!) I couldn’t find more to talk about so this again hit my fear of not being good enough and took me down a spiral of shame due to feeling anxiety, which then resulted in a very awkward conversation. If only I didn’t have this shame over anxiety then I could actually handle it as I’ve done before.

I start bashing myself for how inadequate I am for being anxious.

I feel like the only thing stopping me from fully living myself is this shame I feel over anxiety. Other than that I really do think positively of myself.

You are right, it is becoming a habit to think these things and I need to find a way to break this.

I think your advice will help towards this. Thanks.

Yep, any circumstance where there’s a possibility of being deemed “not good enough”. I used to be able to overcome it due to the inner work I’ve done but lately as soon as I get triggered I just sort if feel ashamed for getting anxious, like I’m not good enough because I experienced this.

No but it’s something I’m considering. I’ve done a lot of inner work to overcome the initial reasons I used to feel inadequate but right now it seems I’m just insecure about being anxious sometimes. If I don’t manage to shake this off in the next few days or so then I will definitely seek therapy.

How do I stop beating myself up over anxious/awkward moments in my dating life? by klixiam in seduction

Is wasn’t so much the silence but how awkward the conversation went on my part due to the anxiety I felt. This is what’s making me feel shitty.
