Sounds like a missed opportunity.

Back when I had a girlfriend I went out literally every single night. It helps, alot. Next time just take the opportunity to go out.....

Some people have no problem going out by themselves... I can do that for certain things like going to the store to specifically get something and stuff like that. Wish I could build up the nerve to just go out by myselfs to a bar on the nights I feel like doing something and no one else does. But oddly enough in situations where im by myself is when symptoms become their absolute worst.

Look on the bright side, at least there are plenty of more times you can go out with ur boyfriend....and you know what? You have already made so much progress so far.......YOU GOT A BOYFRIEND!!!!Not many teens with social anxiety have actually gotten into a relationship, so don't worry that you made that one mistake.....by the looks of things, ur making plenty of progress and gotten this far!! Never give up!!
