Rationally, I think I know the answer to this question, but since I've been alone for over 4 years, My emotional brain is taking over.
No need to get into detail, but I'm probably the most extreme CC person on this entire subreddit, I have basically lived in a mask for 5 years, have not gone into a grocery store or any other establishment really for 5 years, and wash my hands over a hundred times a day. To say I am extremely paranoid would be putting it lightly. I have pretty much been a prisoner since 2019....
Anyway, I recently met someone, And we have hung out once or twice, with me being in an n95 of course, and have been chatting for a few weeks.
She is very understanding of me, and kind, but she's basically on the covid denier spectrum, and doesn't believe in wearing a mask even when traveling or to very busy places. This, of course, makes me extremely uncomfortable and is the main reason we have only hung out a few times.
It is absolutely killing me that I cannot be comfortable hanging out with her, or doing any sort of physical contact at all. It feels like I am torturing myself but the anxiety and fear just takes over.
As dumb as it sounds, is there any safe, or even semi-safe way for her and I to hang out? Is there some sort of daily test she can take to ease my mind?
I see other posts where long-term couples have broken up over this, so I'm pretty sure that it's simply never going to work, but I figured I would at least ask this community since you guys would know more than anyone.
