It sounds like you've been really hurt in the past, no wonder you are anxious. I think we all think that our choice in boyfriends or a spouse reflect on us. Or our boyfriends will judge us by our family and friends. It gets all tangled up.
But being alone has its own set of anxieties, doesn't it?
Perhaps for the next little while you can keep the boyfriend separate from the other parts of your life. You can do things with him but attend family functions alone. Just because you are going out with someone doesn't mean you have to be joined at the hip!
I'm sad that there is so much anxiety over something that is suppose to be a good thing.
