How do I deal with dating and social anxiety?

I’m 32, I’ve never really dated, and I have a lot of anxiety in social situations. I would like to find a woman to date, and have a romantic relationship with, but at my age, most women are pretty experienced, and I am not. I’m uncomfortable with this, and generally uncomfortable in my own skin.

What if the people you live with are the cause of your anxiety and depression?

What if your family is the cause of your anxiety and depression? You have no where else to go, and they also depend on you. Is going to a doctor a loss cause? Because spilling your guts would ruin everything. If your living with these people you can’t very well go talk about them, and expect to to live with them after that.
