I don’t know if anyone else experiences this, but I get a huge surge of anxiety every time I log into Hinge. I’ve been on it for four days and I bought HingeX and I’m sitting at about 60 matches and 20 likes but I can’t seem to get anywhere with them. I overthink every single text out of fear that they’ll think I’m a dork so we never speak and convos are flizzling out or they straight up stop responding I showed my conversations to an experienced friend and he honestly didn’t help my confidence. He told me I sound too autistic and that neurotypical girls won’t tolerate my energy. Because I have a quite masculine look I feel like my personality creates a weird disconnect. I’m worried girls will find me bizarre or disappointing compared to the typical successful guys they knew in their life. I’m 24 and my only relationship experience was a recent LTR breakup. My ex was perfect and loved me for my imperfections, also she was the only girl I ever connected with so being back out here feels like a massive back to square one. I have a serious mental block right now. It feels crazy to be this afraid of simple online conversations and I really don’t know how to overcome it submitted by /u/This_Ad4424
