writes:A girl who I like and want to ask out has just revealed to me today that she has Social Anxiety really badly. As much as I want to ask her out, I don't want to make anything uncomfortable for her. Over text she can talk for hours but to my face she's really shy but will talk to me, just not as much as over text. What she said was she really doesn't like being in situations where she's on the spot and it could go wrong. How could I go about asking her out but at the same time help her feel comfortable?

 You can ask her where she feels comfortable meeting you. In the public she feels on the spot. In private she worries your intention is to get physical. You can give it more time and try to understand what it means to have social anxiety as it can be different things to different people. Also what she likes doing. What makes her the happiest and makes her forget about the self. Growing up with anxiety must have been stressful to her. Being the way she is, she is bound to pressures of acting normal. So if you can show her that you unconditionally accept her that would be great.
