Stupid Vent About Romance

I don't know if I'll ever get romantic love, but not because I don't want it.

I've only been in one relationship my whole life, and it was in middle school. I've had crushes here and there since high school, but none of them really went anywhere, and because of me not really having any relationship experience as an adult, I'm worried that if an opportunity comes, I'll screw it up.

I'm not good at socializing, I'm not good at making friends, I'm sensitive, I overthink a lot, if something feels slightly off when talking to someone, it can change my mood. I don't know how to flirt, I hate my voice, I don't like to look at myself in the mirror. There are a lot of problems I have about myself, and if I try to get into a relationship, those problems aren't just going to magically go away, they aren't going to be fixed.

A long lasting romantic relationship is something I've always wanted, but just never ready for, and sometimes I don't think I'll ever be ready to be in one. These problems I've had my entire life, I haven't fixed, and I don't know if they'll ever be fixed any time soon. It's sad, I'm an adult, I should be at least attempting to solve my problems, but I'm not. I'm not going out to public events cause I only really have 2 irl friends, and I refuse to go on dating apps, etc.

There's more I can say, but I won't, this whole thing's stupid. I don't know why I'm publicly venting about a private insecurity, yet here I am. I might delete this tomorrow.

I relate heavy.. esp cuz I've never even been a relationship period. I don't wanna overstep, so I'll leave it at that, but ur not alone.
not quite sure if you were wanting any advice/support, but imma give it a whirl. I want to start off by saying that your body is the least interesting thing about, promise. having a good, interesting heart is most important, I believe. and if you're looking for something, even romance, you should pursue it! if it's important to you, it's worth putting effort into, whatever effort looks like to you. and honestly, I think romance with others comes after romance with yourself-- to be specific, becoming a person that you really enjoy. when you're authentic with yourself, I find that people are more attracted to you, because they see you (and by you, I mean your mind, your interests, your dreams, etc.). and don't forget, these are real problems that plenty of people have (me included jajaja), and they aren't stupid, just a part of being human. sorry if im intruding or pushing my thoughts you lol
