So, I’m man living in Italy and I’m 26. I had a relationship of 3 years with a girl of my age that ended 2 years ago. It was hard, but I completely recovered. My bodyweight, my social life, my hobbies and my student career were pretty much gone by the time we broke up, but I managed to retrieve almost everything. And I say “almost”, because I didn’t had any sexual intercourse in this two years. None. I’m in this strange situation where most of the time I feel like Gojo from JJK, “the world feels so wonderful right now”, but if you take a good look at me, you can see this melancholy that follows me, everywhere I go. I’m not gonna lie, this two year abstinence kinda sucks, and in this two year I’ve realised something: I had 3 girls in my life. But I’ve pretty much done nothing to get with them: they always made the first step. So I’ve tried to open up a little, but it scares the shit out of me, it seems. Whenever I’m interested in a woman, being in a party, or in every other context, my feel like my heart is gonna explode, I start shivering and I feel deep discomfort. But that leads to a vicious circle: if I never try, I regret it, if I regret it, I feel bad, if I feel bed, I won’t try… and so go on. How to exit this? I think that in one or two weeks I will forget what sex is if I continue like this submitted by /u/KhorakFTW
