I’m afraid of talking to women, idk why it took me so long to realize my issue. But that’s it…
I’m afraid of intimacy, vulnerability, rejection, looking stupid, not living up to her “perceived image” of me or expectations of me. All of this just makes me super nervous around hot girls, and even more so when they show IOI’s towards me.
If anything it should excite me, or make me more confident that’s she’d be open to my advances… no? But here I am basically shitting my pants on the inside, meanwhile externally I appear aloof and nonchalant. It’s such a strange contrast, probably a coping mechanism.
I’m just afraid of being a let down. “Ohh my gawd he’s so H-… oh wait, he’s human, he’s flawed. Nahh bye…
Idk why but that’s my issue. Probably past experiences, but I can’t seem to get over it.
