If that is the case, then the two of you need to learn coping mechanisms for the anxiety. And I’m afraid fragile pride can only be mended over time by learning to speak respectfully no matter how you feel – aka, humility.
If you can, you can find relationship books on healthy, respectful communication. It could help bridge the gap you are feeling.
Hello. May I ask some personal relationship advice? See, my boyfriend and I love each other very much. At least, we got attached very quickly. Only thing is that we both suffer equally from social anxiety, and other mental issues. Our biggest problem seems to be that we get embarrassed VERY easily, and we both seem to struggle with fragile pride. I’m guilty of this myself. It’s almost as though when one of us hurts or embarrasses the other, we can’t discuss it. We also hold grudges forever.
