I say go for it. The potential seems to be there. It would be a shame to lose a possible relationship out of fear. Even if it doesn't work out, every experience a person has builds who they are, the effort may be worth it in itself.
...now if only I could take my own advice...
Hope that helps....
Honestly, I think you should do it. Even if you are shy, anxious, and unsure of your feelings, I think it is better to try than to regret not having a relationship with them. I think that the family member who told you those things was being really harsh on you. The way to learn more about relationships and emotions is to have someone to experience them with. And if you are normally a shy person and found someone who makes you feel comfortable and who you have a high opinion of, then they might be the right person for you to begin exploring those feelings with!
I am speaking from experience as someone whose online relationship did not work out, partly due to feelings of anxiety and low self-esteem. My advice would be to not let any negative feelings hold you back, because if you hold back, you may end up regretting it in the future. On the other hand - I think it's important to have confidence in yourself as well. People can come in and out of your life easily... that's why I think it would be good to be in a relationship with this person while you still have the chance. However, I don't think all of your happiness should depend on them, and it's for that same reason. Try a relationship with them, but don't beat yourself up if things don't work out. At least you can say you tried, and that already is a step forward. But I really hope things work out for you somehow and that being in a relationship with this person ends up being good for you. Best of luck.
Thanks a lot, I had never been into a relationship before so I was scared because of that too. I guess I should try it even if I don't know the outcome... because it can't entirely be bad? And it would be a step forward, that is true. Better then being alone in front of pc all the time... Thank you guys a lot, your advice does help :)
It's actually more like talking to them via a dating app because I've been far too lonely. But I have no idea what a relationship is and a family member told me that I don't know love and don't have basic human emotions. So I'm having second thoughts about a relationship.
But I met this person... we play online games and he doesn't push me to voice-call (I hate that) and is very nice. I do think highly of them but I wonder if I really can make them happy? Being so shy, anxious and not knowing my feelings?
Shoutout to anyone who answers, you're awesome cuz this can't even be answered easily. thanks (=・ω・=)
