I'm sixteen, and while that may be a bit young to be posting here, I feel that it's necessary to request help. I've only asked out about five or six girls so far in my life, all rejects - and a big contributing factor is my lack of confidence. While I feel mentally confident, I have what I call physical anxiety. Whenever I'm talking to girls, I'll start shaking and my voice sounds weak, despite my thoughts being normal. Cannabis relieves this, but it's a temporary solution. I was buzzed one night and actually managed to get my first kiss and a date, but when the day came to go out with her, I was sober and got the shakes. She felt very awkward, and I don't blame her. I don't want to keep using drugs as a solution. How can I control my anxiety and get girls? Everyone else my age seems to be doing so. I just want to feel like a man.
