Well, the title does NOT say all... but I did go back and read your other post from 3 months ago.
It seems you haven't had any trouble talking to, and dating, girls, since high school (you are 25 years old now). I think the problem is that you can't hang on to, these girlfriends for a long length of time. Have you tried any of the previous suggestions from your other post?
It seemed that you have no problem making friends of both sexes (so it is not "social anxiety" that you have, and you might not want to label it as such). You lack confidence in keeping a girlfriend.
I am probably the last man in the world that should be giving relationship advice but do not listen to the poster above me and see medical help for a natural thing like getting anxiety when dating. You would be better off being sober and alone than taking medication to cure anxiety. Go jogging or something. Give yourself a good pep talk. Better yet ask God for help - it just might help. If not, so what, be nervous. It means you care about the date you are about to go on - it means something to you. It's natural. The anxiety probably is more from the thought of being nervous than from the actual meeting of the woman. Godspeed to you.
Obviously YOU think he is exaggerating about being crippled by mental illness...

How has it been since September?
I don't lack confidence in keeping a girlfriend, but in finding one. I just feel like I suck at meeting new people. So, I found a way to cope with that: I stopped meeting people. And it sucks, it's depressing, but I still feel anxious about meeting someone new.
I have friends, that's not the problem. But dating is.
Nothing really happened since september. Except I got a call from my ex, she wanted to spend some time. I wasnt really that hyped, but I made myself go. I was hoping that it would reignite something, not our relationship, but me as a person. Yet nothing

Is that when you feel the crippling anxiety? Meeting someone new? Trying to make a good impression? What to do? What to say? Fear rejection?

That's good that you have the confidence to keep a girlfriend, and it appeared from your other posts that you do have quite a few friends. Meeting a new girl isn't that hard. How have you tried to meet girls before, was it with online dating apps? Try going out with friends to a bar, club, where you might feel less anxious than being there alone. Also, be open to set-ups from maybe your friend's girlfriend's friends. Do you go to college? What ways have you tried meeting girls?
