Relax all the muscles in your face.

Enjoy your burger made from sawdust.

See?

Everyone has repeatedly told you this isn’t actuality and that your thinking isn’t rational. You won’t listen. 🤷‍♂️

Your choice.

Then I have given you all the advice I can. Best of luck!

Seems like you may be in need of more assistance than you can get from strangers on the internet if this is your reaction to my suggestion.

I think maybe reaching out to a therapist might be the best next step.

Gotta change your goal from something that is making you feel shameful or restricted.

Approach people with the idea that maybe they’re attractive to you, but you’re just looking to shoot the shit and pass the time. Nothing shameful about that.

If you happen to hit it off? Amazing, maybe you can think about next steps then.

Don’t get me wrong: it’s always hard to put yourself out there, but if you are really struggling with feelings of shame during it, you might not be thinking about it in the healthiest terns.
