Dating with Anxiety
Dating with anxiety can be a very stressful experience but it is defintely doable. Dating in
general can be an anxiety invoking experience because you want to present your best self to
this new person and make a great impression which is a lot of pressure. When you have anxiety
almost all of your daily interactions are stressful because you tend overthink and catastrophize a
lot- did I talk too much, did I say the wrong things, I know they hate me, etc. When you meet a
potential partner for the first time the experience can be overwhelming because the anticipation
and anxious thoughts are compounded by the goal of making a romantic connection with the
other person.
