Every time I message a girl I'm interested in, even ones who are aware and reciprocate these feelings, I essentially beg for someone to appear out of nowhere and put a bolt in my skull like a piece of cattle.

I get so nervous about any potential reply that
rather than sit in agony waiting for a response, I wish for someone to materialise out of nowhere and puncture my skull with a tool used to kill cattle, killing me instantly. The anxiety over this reply sends me into a frenzy where I am actively wishing for a brutal, efficient death.

I get over it in a couple minutes, but those few minutes are an absolute panic.

there's nothing to fear about woman except getting their hair in your eyes.

I know this rationally, we're all just people. But that doesn't change the fear that comes over me when it comes to this sort of stuff.

A part of it is fear over potentially being a burden or a nuisance, I don't want my presence in someone else's life to be a detriment (i.e. by sending advances - respectful as they may be - that the recipient doesn't want). That goes double for someone who I'm trying to get romantic with, whether it's a casual thing or something more substantial.

A fear of rejection here is a fear of being an annoyance to someone and being a negative force in someone's life - so that period of time between my message and their reply is spent wondering if I'm doing the right thing, if I've blown the relationship already and if my continued correspondence is wanted on her end. In essence, I'm agonizing over whether I'm enough of a fucking moron to be chasing a failed relationship out of ignorance of that failure.
