Is it normal that i have missed to many chances at relationships?

I'm starting to get really depressed about it to many times I could have had meaningful relationships with women that I liked and they liked me back but I never took the chance.

Im sick of being a shy guy I'm 25 and I still am not over my shyness plenty of women have made it clear they are interested in me but I don't have the balls to make it clear that I want to be with them to.

It's not like I don't try to come out of my shell but let's be honest that's just wishful thinking because when it comes down to it I am unable to express myself or my feelings towards anyone.

I get nervous I fear that they might reject me so I don't try then I figure out later the time frame varies that they wanted to be with me but thought I wasn't interested.

I even over think things for a time I thought that I was ugly or something but no the problem is that I'm not all that open.

I think something is very wrong with me and I can't take it anymore apart of me wishes that I had more confidence but I have been cursed with anxiety.

Dose anyone else have this issue and how do you deal with it because I'm really starting to hate myself?

  • You need to realize its ok to be rejected! You won't die, the world wont end, you will get over it fine, you will find someone else. We all get rejection, its part of life.

      This is the key to getting girls. Once you take rejection it opens a portal into heaven and you get 72 virgins with king tut fanning your ballsack and a pet lizard that eats cats for 5 dollars if you tip well

    It's normal to have a certain amount of that old fear of rejection, but you shouldn't let it run your life. You need to recognize that the people to whom you are attracted are just other people not unlike yourself, they are not magical beings whose acceptance, or rejection will determine the course of your life.

    If they aren't into you they have the right to reject you, but you need to understand that it's okay, because you also have the right to reject others who are interested in you, but in whom you do don't reciprocate that interest.

    I've had issues with anxiety too. Im 28 and just have gotten to where I'm more normal. You have to embrace the weirdness. I would be a good life coach. You need coaching. Theres lots of things you can do to help.

    Beta blockers for one. They keep the physical side effects of anxiety from happening.
