Is having a lack of relationship experience constitute baggage? I feel it does, to a point. I've never had a relationship, and it's really starting to drag on me (at age 22). I want one, and I know I could find a women who likes me, but I just have trouble meeting people. It's more to do with my anxiety, shyness, and depression than anything. I've been working on it, and I've improved, but even when I feel 100% I just generally don't have a lot to say. I just feel insecure that I'm naturally very quiet, especially in a very extroverted society like America.

Besides that (and I've written on this site before about my experience), I fell in love with a girl years ago, which was messy on my part. I'm completely over that now, so I can't say I have any baggage attached to specific person or incident.
