I'm 30, but heading that way.

I guess shyness has always been the main issue. This led to low confidence and anxiety around meeting new people. Also I have this irrational awkardness, embarrasment about sex or flirting. There was a brief period where I got a bit of experience with women, but that's so long ago. Since then I've had issues that have killed sex drive and generally I've become more tired and withdrawn personality wise - just lethargic, mentally blank constantly. I'm at the age where lack of experience shows and I don't know how to suddenly jump into the dating world. Either I make peace with this and try to get on with life, or make some drastic changes, or it'll become more of a complex. I'm overall ok with being single, but deep down the complete dearth of intimacy (emotional/sexual) with the opposite sex wears you down mentally. I can try and remind myself that there are more things to life than sex, which I do believe, but when you are in this position at this age it's impossible to not feel somewhat "broken" as man/human being.
