I (30F) have been dating my boyfriend (29M) for about 8 months. He struggles with depression due to a chronic health condition, I try to be supportive and understanding where I can. But he never wants to meet my friends or join me for social things, even when I have told him many times it’s important to me. He says social anxiety and his mental health keep him from being around new people as he fears he may come across as weird.

But what stings is that before we got together, he was going on tons of dates, several a week - he even says himself he used to be a fuckboy. He clearly had the energy to socialize then. Now I’m the person he says he cares about, but he can’t even meet my closest friends once and it's been months. I end up doing everything alone and feel kind of embarrassed when everyone else brings their partner and I have to keep saying that he didn’t feel like coming.

I don’t want to be insensitive about his mental health, but it’s hard not to feel hurt and a little rejected. I even told him that I cannot really comprehend how he had the energy to go serial dates with strangers from dating apps in the past but now only wants to sit at home. AITA for feeling this way?
