Is it normal guys get turned off by my health problem?
I have abnormally low blood pressure. Because of this I don't drink much and I wear warm clothes because I get cold before anyone else. It's not like I need medication for it, I just deal with it.
This has caused some problems with me and the men folk.
I live in the north east coast so the weather can go from pleasant to cold rapidly. And when I'm standing out there only slightly under dressed I start shivering. It's involuntary. And I'm the only one too. I get a lot of "Is there something wrong with you?" It's just such an obvious reaction and it makes me awkward.
And not drinking brings up a slew of tiny issues that add up. Like I'm not a fun person. And I can't really meet guys at bars (or when I do it's just really awkward.)
When I get cold my core body temperature lowers. (I'll admit mild hypothermia isn't a stranger to me) I'm used to getting cold so I don't always notice it. But my last boyfriend did say he kinda dreaded holding my hand cause it was normally freezing. Hearing that hurt. For awhile I was afraid to touch him in bed.
As far as health problems go low blood pressure is not that bad. But it is a little obvious. So people notice. Sometimes I just want everyone to know that I'm normal and my daily life isn't hindered in anyway.
I'm young, I've been told that I'm pretty, I can get a few laughs with my wit, and I'm capable of love. But when I think that a part of me I can't change (a part of me I don't see a fault in) is extremely undesirable, it brings me down. is it normal that they avoid me?
