I can't date because of social anxiety.

I (hope) don't think I'm the only one with this problem, but it honestly sucks. In 2025, I've tried really hard to be more social and it has worked for the most part (better than before at least) but the one thing that still persists is my inability to be in a relationship with someone. It's not just the fear of asking someone out, or approaching an attractive person (Though of course, that is still a major issue) but I cannot fathom being in one at all. Even if I'm not the one asking someone out, I get so scared of not being a good partner due to my communication issues that I reject the few that do ask me out. (I've tried to play it off as me just not being attracted to any of them, but I know that only applies to a few.)

Thing is I want to be in one really badly, but when I'm presented with an opportunity I can't see it working out at all. Especially because I'm an older teenager, seeing all my friends being with people doesn't exactly make me jealous, but more sad at the fact that I never allow myself to have that.

I don't know how to overcome this fear. I tried this year but so far it hasn't worked.
