Dating Anxiety
Dating anxiety is a type of social anxiety that can be experienced when meeting new people or going on dates. It can cause a range of symptoms, including:
- Feeling nervous, anxious, or scared
- Having a racing heart
- Sweating
- Trembling
- Feeling sick to your stomach
- Feeling self-conscious
- Worrying about being rejected
- Avoiding dating altogether
Dating anxiety can be caused by a number of factors, including:
- Past experiences of rejection or negative social interactions
- Low self-esteem
- Fear of intimacy
- Anxiety disorders such as social anxiety disorder or generalised anxiety disorder
Building confidence can help dating anxiety in a number of ways.
First, it can help you feel more comfortable in social situations. When you feel confident, you are less likely to worry about being judged or rejected. This can make it easier to relax and enjoy yourself on a date.
Second, confidence can help you project a positive image to others. When you believe in yourself, it shows.
Third, confidence can help you overcome challenges. This can lead to new experiences and opportunities, including meeting new people and finding love.
If you are struggling with dating anxiety, we can work together to increase your confidence around people and social situations and maybe re-frame past dating experiences to help you overcome them and move forward.
