Why Do I Feel So Nervous and Uncomfortable Around Men?

Why do I feel scared around men?

  • Not all men, but a lot of men, I am very comfortable around my male cousin, I do a lot of stuff with him like play video games and talk for hours and stuff... but around most men I'm scared, like they think about sex or stuff, and I don't like to eye contact them I just look away, most of the men I know make sexual jokes and it makes me feel weird and uncomfortable! Why do I feel like this? even around not sexual men? I feel like this mainly around overly masculine men like my dad, I think my dad and his dad makes me like like this, his dad is really scary, he actually got jailed for suffocating my dad with a pillow, my dad was seconds away from death when he was 12, and he killed my dads animals whilst he was growing up, beat my dad's mother and has had like 10 wives, I'm really scared around him and because of my dad's dad, my dad has picked it up and is SUPER mean to everyone and always shouts, if I say "Hi dad" he will be like "WHATT I'm busy!!!". He is always mean to people like we were out and this chubby guy and my dad was screaming for no reason what a fattttttttttttttttttttttt *beep*, and the fat *beep* probably still eats all the pies, man I hate fat *beep words*

  • Answer:

    With your background it is not suprising you feel like that. It is sad that your father is acting the same. He should have rejected that role model knowing the pain he caused him as a child. One day you will have more independence I hope,and your fear may lesson.

If you are scared of men, you are mentally ill. You should commit yourself to an institution.

because you perceive us as predators that think you would look great chained in manacles, naked in my dungeon... which i have always thought, fair. because many of us are what you fear... although i don't have a dungeon...yet. i am calling it a day, laters all.

What Daniel said.

you were brought up, like all the other sheeple, that you need to be scared of this world, and everyone is out to get you, and your paranoid and anxious due to this. And you have created a prison around you....

It's because you've had a lot of negative experiences with men. The more negative experiences you have, the more it'll impact your subconscious mind. That's where your fear stems from. It started with the behavior of your dad and grandpa, that's the base and foundation of the emotion. Other men with their sexual comments, well, I hate to say this, you may have to get used to that. Because for attractive females, that's the bad that comes with the good.

your dad and grandpa being mean wont make you uncomfortable around guys cause you think they think sexual. its probably because you've been sexually abused. i could be wrong! but im just saying because i was sexually abused for years and im SUPER uncomfortable around guys because i just dont know anyones motives, you know? its a normal feeling if thats happened to you

calm the hell down. why are some women like this- has anyone beat you or raped you? no? then stop acting like a scared little victim. Fact is, men may assault other men- even their sons. But very very very few men would hit a woman (and when they do- most men are willing to stand up to protect the female).
