Random struggle to stay/get hard

Hey all, bit of a strange situation.

A couple of months back, I broke up with my girlfriend. We had great sex, and I never had any issues. However, I’ve seen several people since, and at random, I won't be able to get hard. When it happens, it’ll typically be before penetration after I put a condom on, which is super embarrassing. Other times, though, it won't happen at all.

Oddly, when I go without a condom, this is rarely an issue. However, given that I’m pretty active, that’s not sustainable. I can occasionally lock in and get it back up, but the whole situation has been driving me crazy and is a big source of anxiety. I feel like less of a man. I tried viagra, which worked, but I hate spending the money. I don’t believe it's biological, as I have been with people with zero issues (including hooking up with my ex lmao). For instance, the second time I saw someone, I had this issue, but the first time with them, there was no problem. I rarely watch porn, so that’s not the issue. I think it may be an anxiety thing? Anyway, do any of you guys have tips to resolve this?
