Meeting people, especially since I really dislike the idea of making someone uncomfortable or putting them is such a position. If I’m out in public I do not want to ask out someone who’s working a service job and I rarely talk to people otherwise. So unless there’s a good setting for natural talking to happen it feels rude/unwanted as they just want to do their thing in public.

I struggle most with meeting people, and then with talking to them, and then with continuing to talk with them.

It took me 5 minutes to send this

Talking to people I don’t know and initiating conversations in general. If the other person doesn’t approach me first, I can’t do it myself. I’m not much into dating, but it’s really inconvenient for socializing in general.

Finding things to say is the most difficult. I often get flustered and have nothing to say. Basically become brain dead in front of people in general not just women.

Face. After that maybe personality

Time commitment. Not being physically attracted to anyone in my geographic area. (Long distance)

Actually finding people i guess? I meet tons of people with my shared interests but none I want to date. I am demi so maybe that’s part of it

My dick is too big, I make too much money but I am only 6 foot 2

I just don’t think people like me for me and want to be with me because there’s something of me and about me that they want to be around with. I can find something to be attracted to with almost anyone, but for some reason, it’s the opposite with me.

I’m an astoundingly selfish person, and unapologetic about it. Makes for having relationships, romantic or otherwise, pretty much impossible.

I’m middle aged, dated, had relationships in the past, etc., and honestly just don’t have the drive to make relationships work. I do the bare minimum to keep my professional relationships in tact, which honestly is exhausting enough, and otherwise just keep to myself. It’s so much easier than when I was trying so hard to pretend I was interested in where another person was coming from or what they were going through. Now at least that effort ends after I clock out for the day, and there’s less socializing where I work, so there’s less of those kinds of social expectations overall.
