It's been a hindrance for me, as far as interacting with women goes, since I can remember. Honestly, I've thought myself into inaction countless times.

There's a woman I've been hanging with recently. I like her. The circumstances seem to fit into what would be good for me at this point in my life... Everything is good except that my brain won't just let me be happy. I wanted to kiss her last night. Somehow, I think the signs were there saying that she would have liked it if I did. Cue over-thought process. That all too familiar, endless "what if" loop. Opportunity missed... again.

I've been feeling residual anxiety over it since all day. My social skills failed me last night, not that I'm surprised.. I suppose the only reason I'm posting this is to vent. It is causing a lot of noticeable stress (I carry a lot of physical tension). Guess I'm just trying to find a way to let some of the pressure out. I just don't know what to do anymore.
