Advocate for Love-Shy Solutions
One of the major problems of suffering from love-shyness is that it is not publicly nor professionally recognized. Thus, it becomes the duty of us love-shys to promote awareness of this devastating condition.
Talking about love-shyness and promoting its awareness is a part of love-shy therapy, since doing so makes one more accepting and less embarrassed of the condition. It also gets you out doing something socially.
Online groups are fine but do not substitute for in-person interactions. You don’t need to be a therapist to start a support group. Organizing such a group is a good way to get out, do things and meet people. Plan meetings in restaurants and bars. Post fliers on your local college campus, especially in the engineering buildings.
As more and more people discover their love-shyness, it becomes easier to form in-person support groups and available resources grow. Understand that love-shys are quite resistant to joining groups and generally do not want to take on leadership or roles with responsibility.
If you will not advocate for love-shy causes, who besides me will?
