I constantly get choking anxiety when I’m put in situations with guys. I’m a female and I have no recollection of struggling with s*a or anything of that nature, yet I get intense anxiety, stress and I’m on the verge of crying when I’m in even platonic situations with men? It confuses me and I have no idea how to stop it.
I just want to feel comfortable and at ease but I can’t control it.
Has anyone felt anything similar?

I'm very anxious and I need help calming down
I'm kind of panicking right now and I really need help talking myself down. Every time I have a strange technology issue, I start freaking out and it gets hard...

Crush.
This the best feeling ever yet the worst. I have a crush on this guy in school. I've never talked to him. He is not even in my class. Well, I have not even seen...
Yeah i get anxiety too. I feel like men (especially younger men) have always been judgemental, rude, insensitive to me or women in general around me. It's uncomfortable because i don't feel at ease with them. Women seem more comforting.
ReplyExactly, I feel so much more at ease around women

ReplyHONESTLY WHATS UP WITH THAT
ReplyI totally understand what you mean, it depends on who the are and I'm not even attracted to them but I feel so anxious around them, your not alone but I'm not to sure why this is, have you gone somewhere that has stopped you from interacting with men? I got to an all girls school which is why I think I stress around men because I'm unfamiliar hanging with them.
ReplyI agree, I hadn’t surrounded myself with many male figures in my life, I think the anxiety comes from unfamiliar surroundings. It really sucks :(
ReplyConsider this.
Anxiety is not caused by some outside circumstance like the presence of a man. It is your body's way of telling you that your thinking is off base.
Thoughts, all of them, come and go. Those that get your attention with an added dramatic story will stay longer and return often. This is so for good and bad, helpful and harmful thoughts. The arrival of a thought does not make it legit, your creation, or automatically meaningful. It needs the energy that you provide to persist. You are the gatekeeper - the one who decides which thoughts are worthy of attention and maybe some supporting action.
There a method to becoming a more effective gatekeeper. Its not instant. Its not magic. It will take some determination and time (maybe 15 - 20 min a day) to get started and see some encouraging results. I can say more.

ReplyThank you so much honestly. I’ve actually taken this advice and I’m trying to change the narrative of thoughts in my mind. It’s hard but it has helped a lot, thank you.
