Is dating/socializing just naturally harder for us?

29 M. I’m not a virgin or anything like that, I’ve been with women and all. Had more success in college just from apps. Finding it’s harder in person and on apps after college. I actually probably look better now than I did in college if anything. Better physique and more mature facial structure without looking like I’ve aged much. I naturally get a lot of social anxiety and some heart racing but found that when I’m in better spirits and not as stressed from work/life related issues I’ve gained more attention from women. For example when my energy is more relaxed I’ve noticed women gaze as I walk by if I’m dressed nice especially. But it’s not easy, I’m a pretty broken man from many traumatic events that happened in my life. I still can’t find it in myself to approach women in casual settings. Worried I’ll end up freezing or come off too awkward and say something cringe/stupid. Anyone have tips on how to shake the approach anxiety?

So I live in a condo I own and the property management company that runs this place is a pure cancer. I recently dealt with an incident of an assistant GM trying to enforce a fraudulent rule about how much time you can hangout in certain common areas. I got a lawyer involved, not directly, but he helped me review and cite the governing documents in a letter to send to management asking where this particular rule was. Complete silence for a week. This assistant GM then escalated it to the GM and they replied saying I’d get a formal response by “end of week”. It’s been 2 weeks and they never sent a response.

Did I successfully get these people to back off? My lawyer said if they tried to fine or discipline me for a nonexistent rule we’d sue the hell out of them. He thinks if they hadn’t sent something by now that they’ve backed off and aren’t likely to target me anymore.

M here. ISTP, idk enneagram chat GPT tells me 6w5 or 8w7. Not going to go into details but every date ends the same. It’s always they didn’t feel “spark/chemistry” etc. Only so much I can do to control that. Life is hell when you have nobody to share it with. I have a good career and assets, with a lot in savings/stocks. I’m convinced there’s 0 hope for me

I had a relationship last year but she was a verbally abusive parasite and I doubt she ever truly “liked” me.
