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?
