You're doomed, mostly because of the fact that you see woman as "the opposite sex", rather than as what they are: people. They are not some scary mysterious creature that you will never understand. They are living beings who go through life in a manner alike to yours. So treat them as such and you'll have no problem being around them.krazykidd said:This will probably not help with my overall coolness , but i am a 22 year old male and i am uncomfortable around women . By not means do i discriminate nor think less of them , i mean i get really nervous when women are around me. And when i have to speak to anyone of the oposite sex other than family of course i can/will say the dumbest things . I was wondering if anyone on the escapist have the same problem? I do have a girlfriend but she had to make the first move and thw first month of us seeing each other was really awkward . I don't have any self confidence so i know thats why i have this problem . I even have trouble speaking to my boss at work , i will say the bare minimum and try to avoid her when i can. ( oh god i'm such a loser hahaha)
So what about you? Are you uncomfortable around people of the opposite sex? Or is it just me and i'm doomed?
