oddjob,

I'm not trying to play therapist or anything, but can you pinpoint EXACTLY why you feel uncomfortable in particular situations?

For example, when you start sweating, can you describe what's going through your head?

Nervousness and anxiety seem to be symptoms, brought on by other factors, like feeling judged, an inferiority complex, etc.

Not sure if this is helpful or not. But I believe that you can't fix a problem until you know exactly what the problem is.

well i can't really describe what makes me anxious. i just start feeling uneasy around people at times, and start sweating. then i start freaking out that i'm sweating.

i definitly have self esteem problems. the few times i'm told someone is interested in me, i'm in complete disbelief of it.

damn i'm so [censored] messed up, and know it, i can't ever see someone putting up with me. although i have a lot of friends, i often wonder why, but i still appreciate it and feel blessed.

i'm sure my parents did a number on me. i was in a bad car wreck in high school that left me scarred for years (externally and internally) so i was never able to get that akward [censored] with dating out of the way, when i was supposed to.

i have dated, just never in anything serious, and i never felt comfortable.
