Thanks, @KimmyO , I don't feel like playing 'hard to get' is really my go to way out of this. I've tried it before, and it doesn't help, plus it just makes me confused for behaving so entirely differently than I feel. I am trying to get into new social circles and such, but being quite...

Thanks, @littleoc. Mine was actually not only induced by anxiety, but also by my vegan diet (hence the zinc shortage). The anxiety attacks became a part of the cycle, increasing in intensity, which eventually prompted me to investigate further. I actually walked around with it for quite a while...
