25 and over only

30 and I can't ever see myself getting married because the thought of being the center of a wedding is terrifying.

I grew up with social anxiety and it improved greatly while I was in university because I was exposed to a lot of different people to talk to and party with. Then after university the SA started to get worse because friends get older and busier with their own lives/jobs/partners. Once I broke up with my long term partner my social life dwindled further and my SA got worse. Basically my social skills got pretty rusty.

I'm happy when I'm on my own, I don't sit there wallowing about what I don't have. But boy is it hard seeing other people happy with their families/partners while knowing that sort of stuff will never be in the cards for me.

So it's a mixed bag to be honest.
