No, you're really not alone, if this post has anything to say about it.
So far I haven't found a magic bullet, so I've been chipping away at it a little at a time. Writing it out helps me think a lot. I know that I'm trying to get it out in the open so it becomes less of this huge, all-consuming deal and I realize that problems I think are unique to myself are actually widespread and not all that unique or bizarre.
Obviously, you want to put your best self forward when you're in the presence of a crush. When you haven't the clearest sense of who/what that is, it's going to lead to a certain amount of panic. So I'm trying to get a stronger hold on that and so far that's been helping a lot. But mostly I've been experimenting around people by not holding back and second guessing every move. And so far, it's yielding somewhat positive results. Encouraging enough to press on, anyway.
