Another thing I worry about, alongside never getting into a relationship, is getting into one and having to admit how inexperienced I am. Not because he might leave me (because that would make him a jerk, and not worth my time, anyway) but because it would make me feel so young and naiive.
This seems to be more common among men...
I'm not a woman, but that's my worry too. I have some expectation that I can bluff my way to appearing confident to a certain degree, but that feeling can come and go over the course of the day because it's not based on anything. Also there is a point where they will realize that I'm not that and they may feel like they've been sold a bill of goods. My hope is that they'd become an accomplice in the fraud I've perpetrated, but there's no way around the fact that I will be tricking people.
The thing that really get to me is that the two most common, best, and easiest to follow pieces of advice are "Be yourself" and "Have confidence", but it is not possible for me to do both at the same time.
