I have always been timid when it comes to expressing myself, speaking my mind, and standing up for something. This stems from being raised in a culture where showing emotions is frowned upon. Nothing I ever did seemed good enough. There was constant criticism that I could do better, and be better. I was raised to never to talk back to my seniors and not to say anything when I had nothing nice to say.

If you decide to meet someone in person, prioritize your safety. Choose a public place for the meeting and inform a friend or family member about your plans. Trust your instincts and take necessary precautions.
Engage in activities and join communities that align with your interests. This can provide opportunities to meet like-minded individuals and increase your chances of finding someone compatible.
Understand that no relationship is perfect. Unrealistic expectations can lead to disappointment and frustration. Embrace the imperfections and work together to grow and overcome challenges.
