I’ve recently gotten into a relationship with a boy that I’ve known for four years.
The first two, I fell in love instantly it was ridiculous but he was new to the town and became the school player. The next two were only small conversations here and there. You may be asking why I’m with him again? This time, it was actually him. He’s given a lot of time up for me, walked 7 miles almost every day here and back to see me. I’m not too trusting yet, but I do believe he’s changed for the better.
The real problem here though is that I struggle with bad social anxiety and he was recently put into a foster home. I have trouble meeting say one or two people, but now he wants me to meet five and get into a car which is the worst thing for me, feeling surrounded and isolated. I want to give it a go but I also don’t want to do it and get even more attached to later be hurt. Is it wrong that I’m anxious about it? We fight over it a lot.
The worst part is, my family hates him for his past. They have no idea.
I don’t know what to do!
