Hello and welcome to the new mindset hootis podcast. My name is Case Kenney at case.kens.k on

Instagram and this is my weekly podcast where I create short no BS episodes dedicated to helping

you become the person you're meant to be, leave your comfort zone and live a purposeful and

fulfilling life. Let's go.

Thank you. live a purposeful and fulfilling New Mindset Who Dis. As always, thank you so much for listening. Thank you for supporting me. And today, I want to talk about dating with anxiety. And I'll start by saying that this is kind of a topic that I get a lot of questions around because having anxious thoughts is normal. It's very normal and it's okay. You know, certainly anxiety is a big word and this episode isn't about like a clinical diagnosis or anything like that for anxiety,

but I want to start by saying it's okay to have anxious thoughts around dating. I mean,

practically speaking, who wouldn't? There's a lot to decipher.

There's a lot of what ifs.

There's a lot of moving pieces.

So it's okay.

It's okay.

And, you know, if we were to really dive into the topic, and spoiler, I'm about to,

it's not that you are an anxious person or you have anxiety and that's why so-and-so.

It's more likely that there are some things that are

really important to you, as they should be. And because in dating, there's a big question mark

next to them early on, you feel a certain anxious way about them. Right? It's a bit of a reframing.

So I just want to do this episode for my

anxious dating listeners to help you reframe the idea, the idea specifically that I am

anxious and it makes dating so much harder. Let's reframe it in a more positive light because

that's what I do. But more specifically, let's reframe it in a more helpful light.

So to start, I'd say that most people think dating with anxiety means you are just inevitably

doomed to overthink and sabotage and settle for less because your head never stops talking.
