As long as your scared you won't be able to effectivly address your situation.
I know that for a while I was totally scared to even email my wife because I was so nervous about how she would reply.
I would seriously debate for days on whether or not I should even say "hi" to her.
Once I let that go, and it took some time, but once I did I was able to talk to her with confidence again and not really worry about her reactions.
As you know, I asked her if she wanted to go to the zoo with me one day.
In the past, I would be FREAKING waiting for her to reply... But this time, it was just kind of a "hey, would you like to do this? If not, it's cool" and I truly wouldn't have minded if she said no, because lets face it, the zoo is FUN, and it would be her loss to not go!
Know what I mean?
As long as you're that scared, you won't react to situations properly.
