I’m (18F), and I know I’ve got plenty of time ahead of me, but sometimes it’s hard not to notice how everyone around my age seems to always be dating or surrounded by people. I keep reminding myself that it’s not a big deal and that I’ve got my whole life to figure that stuff out, but it still gets to me sometimes. The thing is, I have a really hard time talking to people — whenever I try, my throat feels dry and tight, my mind freezes, and I can’t get the words out. I never really know how to go out or start conversations, so I usually just keep to myself. So I was just wondering if there’s a way to even get in a relationship, do I have to push myself out of my comfort zone or has anyone ever been in a situation like mine?
