id start to unpack why you feel that way first. are you really afraid of women or are you just afraid of rejection? or nervous speaking to them? then id say you should work on humanizing them, and familiarizing yourself with them.

Don’t think of women as just potential partners or some other species or something. Women are your family, coworkers, classmates, just people.

They’re still just people. A woman you personally find attractive isn’t more scary than a woman you don’t find attractive. I get being nervous in general but you don’t need to be scared of them any more than you would be another woman

I think I‘m afraid of the idea of a woman I find attractive not being attracted to me…

It’s abt rejection at its root. These women make me feel like I‘m already rejected by them. Like I‘m not their equal

Do they do that or do you do that to yourself internally? Lots of people are so insecure about themselves in their roots that they make up situations of people judging them in their head that never even happened or take each glance as “oh they’re making fun of me in their head for sure” or something

And if you take some rejection that deeply I think it’s a deeper issue of personal self perception

Like I don’t think I’m some 10/10 that every person I like would also be attracted to whatsoever but most people aren’t and that’s fine

Yeah…That‘s probably a healthier way of seeing things…And no, they don‘t actually reject me. It‘s internal

No fr back when I was younger I’d be a stuttering flabbergasted mess when a guy I liked was attempting to make conversation with me lol
