Almost every time I go out to a social gathering like a party I get nervous to the point of feeling physically sick, especially around women. It's not even the women themselves, for some reason the fact that women need to go to so much more effort than men for a night out makes me feel really nervous to be around them. It gives me a really dry mouth and a thudding heartbeat and a feeling of physical sickness. What really puzzles me is the fact that I have a girlfriend and I can talk to her friends and get along with them easily, so it's not like through the day I'm intimidated by them or something, it's definitely not a case of intimidation. When I'm going out with my girlfriend, when I'm with her the process of being with her when she is applying makeup gives me a really uneasy feeling in my stomach. Any guesses as to what's wrong with me? This is debilitating as fuck, and started around the time that I started dating my current girlfriend, about 14 months ago.
