am i just sad?

I realise that i am always imagining romantic scenarios in my head as i have never been in a relationship before and i think i am low key desperate for romantic attention at this point, yet i am not emotional and know i wouldn't let anybody close to me so easy.

am i setting unrealistic standards? yes i want a relationship, but i want to know the person as a friend first, and that doesn't seem like its happening. I am a shy and introverted person and think i have a fear of intimacy, so all in all i don't seem to be doing myself any favours :/

it is lame to be imagining scenarios all the time? i am trying to stop as i think i am making myself feel even more lonely tbh and making unrealistic scenarios that probably wont reflect reality oop.

I get the same thing. I really want a relationship but I don't know if it is the right time to start?

yea i feel like i am not confident or self-accepting enough to get into it, even though i want it. I think i'm scared of someone liking me tbh. I have met someone recently whom i think is kinda cute, yet i know i will never act on it or try to talk to him because im afraid, and also bad at socialising haha

Scenarios are good and also to encourage some action to make what you want happen
