What is the source of anxiety and what can be the cause?
August 23rd, 2010
For a little background, I find myself in a constant worry about being single and remaining single. As such, I decided that this sort of thinking cannot be normal but at the same time, I cannot easily change my thought pattern. I mean I’m 26, male, and getting many things.
So I talked with a therapist who said I have a classic case of anxiety disorder. So my question is what would have caused this? Like what sort of outside factor come into play with people obsessing with being single? Could it be constantly being rejected? Or is it some sort of perception disorder caused by growing up?
Or is there some sort of biological factor to this? Like a sense of urgency to quickly get into a relationship? To be truthful, I have tried to get a date, but have no such success with it. I have tried online, and many times in person, and simply put, no one wants me. So could that be the cause of this? Like the fact that rejection occurred, my perception is that no one wants me, so I constantly worry about it and wonder why? Which then in turn causes anxiety problems?
Please don’t answer with “someone for everyone” or “pray to god” or anything that deals with how to get someone. I’m more interested in hearing facts about singlehood/anxiety rather than “expert opinions” from people who aren’t married, or have been married since a very young age.
