I started seeing someone recently. We've been out a few times, I like her and we get along really well. The problem is that I'm afraid to tell her some stuff about myself. I have social anxiety, and get really nervous in crowded places, and even have panic attacks sometimes. I've managed to keep calm while I've been out in public with this girl, but it's kind of exhausting. I also have things from my past that I'm not looking forward to telling her, like that I was married before.
I was thinking that I would tell her some of this stuff next time I see her. That way if I ever have a panic attack in the middle of a mall or something, maybe she'll understand. It's still early in the relationship, so there's no need to tell her everything about myself, but I don't know how much to tell her, and how honest to be. I also wonder if people are generally okay with dating someone who has issues like mine? I'm probably worried over nothing, but....I don't know.
