Is it normal to be absolutely terrified and anxious by relationships?

I've never been in a relationship and the idea of being in one absolutely terrifies me!! I'm so scared of it... I don't want to be alone for life but they also make me extremely anxious and scared... plus because of my anxiety I've been questioning my sexuality... so now I'm also confused about that? How am I ever meant to go into a relationship if I don't even know If I'm attracted to someone?

    Yes. Relationships are oftentimes not worth the trouble.

    i feel like we've been taught to have the mindset of [in a relationship] [not in a relationship] as these set categories.

    I'm not at all talking about being unfaithful, but the degree of connection you have with a person has a long trajectory. You don't immediately become a 60 year married couple over night.

    So I would just take it easy don't worry what their gender is, or even if you want them as a partner, but if a person interests you spend time with them and take it from there.

    The worst part about relationships are cell phones and texting. In my next relationship i'm getting an answering machine at my house and ditching the cellphone.

    Her:"Why didn't you text me back!" "I'm done!" "Sorry I over reacted" "why aren't you texting me back?"

    Me. "I slept in"
