Anxiety ruining my life and chance at relationships

I feel like due to being on the autism spectrum and having horrible anxiety, I can never have a happy relationship.
Due to anxiety I am scared of everything including intimacy.

With pandemic is it worse. A guy and I had a crush on each other years ago but for reasons above I rejected him. He was down but moved on. Its a big problem he lives away from me in a city I never went to because only he visited me. I had too much travelling anxiety. I couldnt tell him I was scared so I made excuses.

He still likes me for some reason and we been talking again a lot. He has decided hes going to come here next week. Truth is I like him.
Im very upset because I dont want to take health risks. I am even scared of finally getitng a job due to the health risks. I cant use logic on my anxiety because it doesnt care. I always know that me being scared of everything isnt logical. Its gotten worse the older I get, I dont know what I can do. More therapy I guess even though my therapists said I dont need it because im self aware.
I want to have happy times in my life

    Definitely need more therapy or even the free group sessions online or in person should help you :)

    I have OCD so I have extreme anxiety and the pandemic made it worse and has a lingering effect but talking about it with people that also struggle with it helps a lot as well as immersing yourself in an enjoyable activity whatever that may be for you. I'm sure they have autism/anxiety groups you can at least attend. Good luck

    The pandemic is over. Just turn off the TV. If you are healthy you are gonna be fine.
