KEY POINTS

Feeling nervous or doubtful about dating is completely normal, especially if social anxiety is holding you back. The good news? You don’t have to let it control your love life.

Social anxiety is super common – way more people struggle with it than you might think!

It’s like having a little voice in your head that constantly worries about what others think. But guess what? There are ways to quiet that voice and build your confidence.

If the thought of dating makes you sweat, try starting small.

Talk to a therapist who can give you personalized advice and tools to manage your anxiety. You can also join a support group where you’ll meet other awesome people who get it.

Jessica Reyes, Patricia Wu, and Anita Avedian inspires you to gradually face your fears. It might feel scary at first, but each step you take will bring you closer to your goal. Think of it as a challenge – and remember, everyone feels a little awkward on a first date!

Don’t be afraid to put yourself out there. You deserve to find love and connection, just like anyone else.
