Boyfriend or Girlfriend?

Never had a girlfriend or boyfriend, but I really want one. However, the idea of actually getting one terrifies me.

No I don't currently have one.

I often wonder how people with SP manage to get themselves a girlfriend or boyfriend. To me, this feels very out of reach.

I had opportunities in high school, and college to a lesser extent, but I was always reserved, so quiet, and the hyperhidrosis on my hands made me avoid getting close to people with fear of embarassment. Please anyone if you have an opportunity don't let it go. I'm 20 and I feel like my youth has gone forever.

On the other hand maybe with waiting a 'special' girl will come along, but I think you should live for the day. Would have been fun in high school, when there was no worries.

Ive always struggled with relationships because I turn into a big pile of nerves. I dont think it will ever chnage. I dont have to worry about it at the minute being an agoraphobic Laughing

Unless a gorgeous guy turns up on the doorstep.

Im pretty lucky I guess, I met my partner before my Hyperhidrosis kicked in properly and so I was much more of an outgoing person back then..over the years as my hyperhidrosis has worsened its been great to have him there to support me, I know how hard it would be if I were to become single again, with the HH and the SA caused by it...I dont think it would be easy for me at all..but im sure its not impossible...id certainly give it a go!!

I am 18 years old and I have never had a girlfriend. When I was about 12 or 13 I had one but we didn't even have the guts to talk to each other and she 'dumped' me within about a week, which is the way it is I suppose at that age.

I was seeing a girl for over a year, we met online (surprise, surprise) but it didn't work out in the end. After we broke up I started to feel really poorly and then found out I had a rare Liver disorder which made me lose lots of weight.
I think people tend to look at me and think I look terrible, people have certainly commented on my appearance before. I've given up hope of finding someone, even at this young age (22) as it's impossible for me to get better now and I'm never going to be the solid mass of muscle that I always dreamed of and I feel physically terrible every day.
I think the likelihood is that I will commit suicide eventually (not today, don't worry) and it isn't like in a film, I'm not sitting here feeling depressed and crying about the outcome of my life, it's just bad luck that my life panned out like this before I ever really had a chance to change anything.

Anyhow, I took the thread slightly off-topic, I apologise. I haven't had any female interaction since my ex about 3 years ago but I've never really been out of the house in 6 years or so.
