Thank you both who responded to my post. It felt good to hear both of your responses.

What continues to amaze me is what it is like to have a date even when I feel like I am in my own self-constructed prison, walls surrounding me. The best reward is when having a date and feeling whatever is in there, inside me, feeling what i actually feel on the deepest core level, leads me into present time, after I seem to have been far from it for days...

I wonder if I have to go through those judgements of my doer and judgements of myself in order to be free of them, perhaps letting those thoughts exist and have space and liberty inside me and then feeling the actual disgust or anger that went with the thoughts in my body, is exactly what leads to freedom from them, they seem to be less prevalent when I have regular dates and I have noticed the longer I ignore my desire the more anger comes up in a date.
