I am embarrassed/feel anxiety when people see me with my girlfriend.

She is extremely attractive, smart, funny, talented, charismatic, great personality, the whole nine yards. Amazing girl but for some reason I feel embarrassed/anxiety at the thought of telling everyone were dating, no matter how perfect my girlfriends have been (in the past and now) I still feel that way. They all think I'm embarrassed because of them and I'm not, they're amazing, but for some reason I just hate the idea of people knowing. I don't know why. This trait of mine has hurt relationships in the past and I want this one to happen differently. Even though I'm extremely outgoing I've always been very private about my life, maybe because I had a very dysfunctional childhood or how I was raised but I don't know. Please help asap!

    i trained my brain to get over anxiety and embarrassment. i think u should try it. in ur case, whenever u see a couple, just look at them and think. Are u gonna remember them tmr? do u care about their relationship? do u think negative comments about them? no! simply no! pretty sure u dont care! its the same when others look at u and ur girlfriend, they wont give a damn! if this thought process is run regularly in ur brain, ull stop caring about what others think about thus the axiety and embarassment fades slowly

    It may be due to your childhood. If you care for your girlfriend not just because she's beautiful etc. But because she loves and respects YOU. Hold your head up in public with her, because it seems you have a great girl. If you keep acting as if , you don't want to be seen with her. She'll find someone who will. Good luck in whatever decision you decide on.....
