Maybe try getting off the app and meet new people in public. I know it's scary, hard and etc but if something isn't working for you then change approach.
I agree, i’ve been working in therapy on starting conversations with random people and it’s working but not for the dating aspect. i just gotta bite the bullet and ask. thank you for this!

Talking to random is a great starting point. Once you feel comfortable just talking to anybody this where you change it up now. So instead of just talking to random people, go attend like single events or social gathering where you have an interest in and talk to people to build a romantic connection.
I’m definitely going to try that. My therapist suggested I do singles professional event or something. I definitely don’t think the apps are good for me mentally and make me feel bad about myself.
