Alright so I should be visiting my partner for the first time in November for about a week and I'm kinda terrified of a lot of things.
I'm 19 and she's 21. We've been together for almost a year. It'll be a year in November actually, so thats neat. but I'm extremely self conscious about my looks, my body type, etc. so my anxiety has been running me into the ground lately. I've brought it up with her and she has told me time and time again that she loves me for me, no matter what kind of body type I have and that she will always love me but I'm still really scared I'll disappoint her. I love her with all of my being and I really don't think she's the type to be like that but the fear is still there. Especially since I've never had a relationship in person before. I don't know how to act with a partner irl. I don't know what to do or how to cope with any of this.
I'm also extremely scared of flying alone. I've flown before multiple times, just never alone and the last time wasn't within the past 8 years. I have social anxiety and a fear of being alone, especially in public situations. Does anyone have any advice? I've come up with having a map of both airports I'll be in and drawing my route out on them. I'm also going to be bringing the scarf my partner gave to me that smells like her, just for comfort. I just need some kind of reassurance or help with maybe some kind of way to manage myself while doing all of this. Its all very brand new to me.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
