Hi. I'm newly single again and I'm not sure if I have even made combat over social anxiety as most guys don't want that.

How is everyone?

Sorry to hear that.
If they were worth it they would understand that.
Just keep your head up and move on.

I've always had the misguided notion that two parties with social anxiety would be unable to meet. It's both a slightly funny and sad thought at the same time.
I'm not trying to cause offence.

^ Me and my partner both have SA, it takes a bit longer to meet than people who don't have it maybe but you have the added bonus that you understand eachother's reactions to things.

I hope you are able to meet someone in the future who supports you sensitovesoul

Sorry to hear that sensitivesoul

I think there are lots of men who wouldn't be put off by you suffering with SA (I mean there's so much more to all of us than SA!) and those guys who aren't very understanding and accepting, well, you are better off without them anyway.

Gosties, I get what you mean, but I know of a lot of SA folk over the years who have met up with other SA folk and gone on to develop great friendships and very successful relationships.

It was SAUK that brought myself and my husband together.
