Romantic anxiety?
So, this may sound a bit odd, but is there a sub-category of social anxiety that caters only to people that get it in romantic situations? Like, I'm fine in most social situations in life if I approach it as a platonic instance, but the minute there's any hint of romantic interest I start to get really fidgety and anxious. I've been in a few situations where I've felt cornered and had panic attacks. I don't think it's just typical "shyness" for lack of a better word because the aforementioned panic attacks make it feel like some sort of next level thing that interferes with my life. Anyone come across this or know of any resources?
