Virtually in the same soup of loneliness... the fear of coming across as a creep and lacking confidence always eats at me when I see someone attractive. Been single for almost 4yrs now and with each passing day, I realise I could be a loner for the remaining of my life. This condition can be crippling ... I mean why should approaching and having a chat with a fellow human being feel so daunting ? Good on you for gathering the courage to do this, hope you keep on finally meet someone who adores you. Hope I can also breakthrough this mental jail and fear and put myself out there. Stay blessed bro.
