I'm scared of women :to:

I don't talk to them and I try my best to avoid them. It has gotten so bad that I started taking all my college course online so I don't have to interact with women. I only go shopping late night or early morning so I can avoid girls my age. I feel so weak and pathetic because of the way i'm living. I didn't even go to my family holiday party because my cousins girl friends were gonna be there.
you need to get on xanax or somethin breh

thats why they invented it, and it sounds like you got nothing to lose

Get therapy...It has to be a reason behind it.

No OP, you're not pathetic. However, you just have some issues of self esteem you need to work through, and possibly need to talk to someone about it. As men, we don't really utilize these kind of options enough because it's not "masculine" but you're hurting yourself.

I struggle with a lot of the same insecurities as you regarding women. I have often felt unattractive and have done for years, also had the same worries about rejection. It's definitely a confidence issue, and likely as you said you've been called ugly all your life, it's likely that this has completely warped your self perception. I can't just tell you to stop being scared and start talking to women, because that advice would be hollow and won't help you. What you need is tangible steps to deal with your fear of rejection by women.

These are all things that I am/have been working on myself.

Talk to more people in general including women. Don't put pressure on yourself to ask them out straight away, just talk to them about light stuff. Get comfortable in their presence. This was difficult at first for me because of my autism and I can not always segway into small talk and shyt like that, but with time and practice, you'll get better at interacting. If you wanna up the ante after that, a next step would be to practice flirting. Again, no need to go straight into asking girls out, but becoming more comfortable in social situations with them. Place yourself in scenarios where you literally have to talk to them - activities, bars, whatever. Strike up conversation. Then you can start asking them out - it will still be nervewracking, but it's like that for all of us. I don't approach strange women all the time, but I have done on occasion and I've had a couple dates from it despite my own anxiety about feeling like women don't like me. So I know that it's all in my head!

Can you read social cues? If you can, that will be useful for all of the above too.

Also, looks do matter to an extent, and you can control that to an extent. Part of the reason I have felt unattractive is because I have always been unfit and slightly out of shape despite my physique. To rectify that, been getting into working out for the last 6 months. I fell off last month but started training already this week and feel good about it. You will feel more confident in yourself if you feel confident about how you look. One way to do that is to work out, and try to find your own style in terms of dress, grooming etc. This is all shyt I never gave a fukk about till recently. My confidence still takes a battering, but I'm far more secure in myself now having done all of the above than I have been at any other point.

The things you tell yourself are the most important things you will hear. If you tell yourself continually that women will reject you, you won't be able to do the above things and you will perpetuate that fear. My advice is to start telling yourself a different story. Tell yourself that you aren't scared of women, and that you are a social and attractive person in your own right. Then work on becoming that person. Use therapy if you have to. Get a noticeboard and write down all the things you need to work on and pin it so you're reminded.

This is only loosely related, but I would also recommend having a creative hobby like music or art. This will give a lot of your pent up energy a channel and will also help you find other activities to do where you can potentially meet women.

Good luck man :salute:

This is such great advice!

Good for you for empowering yourself and working on areas you know you can fix.

You might try this Joyable

It's a website that has a program where you meet with a counselor over the phone or online so it's private.

They have a one week free trial.

They use cognitive behavior therapy which pretty much teaches you how to reprogram yourself on how to act when encountering something that makes you uncomfortable.

Here's another site that's free, lots of free worksheets to do on your own, CBT Worksheets For Therapy & Self-Help PDF | Psychology Tools

There's nothing to be afraid of. They're humans just like you. It wouldn't be any different than talking to one of your family members that would happen to be a girl

You are not pathetic, you just don't know your own power yet.

You are interacting with females online, push yourself to do more. You can do it.
Like the old saying, you can do anything you put your mind to. Shift you thinking and your actions will follow.
