i'm not scared of showing love to my family and my friends (it's a different type of love anyway) but for some reason, the thought of actually being in love with somebody as in the one that you show in romance, in a relationship or through sex makes me scared and nervous. i have had many opportunities to get myself involved in that but my fear has made me unable to either express myself or to persue something. i rather just keep stick with fantasies and daydreams and overindulging in masturbation or whatever instead of actually getting into something it comes off as if i don't want anything when i actually do. anybody here can relate?

Awwwww I'm sorry. I may not be afraid to fall for someone, but I am afraid of asking them out or telling them how I feel in fear of them not reciprocating.

Perhaps that is not what you want after all, ever think of that? Not everybody fits into
the "same as everybody else."

no, there's a difference. i literally get afraid and nervous whenever i get the hint or find out that someone is interested in me. being lazy and being scared and nervous are two different things.

Sorry, I edited after reading your OP again. I retract my statement. You are not lazy but you lack courage.

I don't know how other women feel but I think it's totally charming when a man is willing to go outside his comfort zone to garner the attention of a woman. It's very sweet and disarming to see a big strong man willing to make a fool out of himself for the sake of love. Maybe you can keep that in the back of your mind whenever you step outside your comfort zone.

On our first date, my husband stuttered all night. He was obviously nervous and embarrassed. And when I first introduced him to my college-aged daughter, he broke out in a sweat and the color left his face (for good reason, she showed him no mercy!). But he got through it and earned my respect.
