What has helped you with your loneliness in a positive way?? I’m looking to work on my own loneliness!! Thanks in advance 😊

What helped you get used to and get better at dating women? How did you gain confidence in your sexuality? Did coming out change your emotional availability?

So much feels at stake dating women as compared with dating men. I get so nervous! I feel the need to be much more impressive and put together dating women also. I realized I’ve only ever been with men out of convenience and lack of putting in effort on my part, which isn’t a good reason to be with someone. I’ve definitely not been the most emotionally available person either but would like to be and do feel more open with women. Any advice appreciated 🫶🏻

Genuinely, I struggle greatly at picking up on social cues including safety and danger cues. I’ve been in a lot of extreme, unsafe situations from my naivety and it has negatively impacted others and my relationships with family and friends. I mean think extreme- DV, SA, exploitation, etc; I feel incredibly ashamed and embarrassed of myself for this struggle and the impacts it has had on my life. I greatly want to improve.

I do go to therapy. Still, I have tended to be easy to manipulate and wear my heart on my sleeve. I’ve been known to date or befriend “projects” which I struggle to understand entirely what that means beyond googling it. I have also been told I have a “servants heart” for others which I’m unsure what it means or if it relates here. I have been told to trust my intuition more even when I don’t understand something. I have also been told to be more private and secretive so others do not learn things to manipulate me. I struggle with hyper empathy for others while being highly critical of myself. I have a tendency to freeze, panic, and go silent when bad things happen. I have pretty severe PTSD and related health issues with my nervous system including psychogenic seizures, heart problems, and stomach issues.

Genuinely, it’s to a point I feel terrified to go out and interact with others and I’m really fighting agoraphobia urges. I very badly want to be safe and participate more in society and contribute positively. I want to be more independent and able to do more regular adult things. I really don’t want to burden others. I truly wish someone could just always tell me the right thing to do.

Does anyone have any tips or advice??? Thanks so much 🫶🏻
