Joys of social anxiety.

Just had to explain to the guy I’ve been dating how I have terrible social anxiety because he’s been wanting me to meet his friend group for basically the entire two weeks that we’ve been “officially” dating and I just can’t bring myself to do it and I feel terrible because I know how much they mean to him. On the same side though I don’t completely understand why he wants me ro meet them so early before we’ve even really had time to figure out much about us as a couple. Ugh why I gotta be so anti-social and scared of new people. 🙈
