I know this and I really appreciate the advice, but the main issue is that I have really bad anxiety so even when i feel like "YEAH I CAN DO THIS" just SOME bad thought in my head pops up and hold me back from doing so. Like, seriously, I would seriously be so happy if I got over myself and told him, but it seriously is not that easy as a lot of people may make it seem.
I know the whole deal about the "you don't know unless you try", and I'm trying, I really am, but I'm seriously so anxious about it that I just physically cannot get myself to tell him, and I have no fucking clue how to get rid of this problem.
