I know that the title is kinda weird, but just stay with me for a sec.
I genuinely think this is a problem for me, and I just want to know if other people experience this.
Whenever anyone walks past me or behind me, (mostly dudes for some reason, I'm not sexist.) I get all tense and a shiver runs down my spine. Like I pull myself away.
I think its because lots of people at my old school used to slap my butt, and my body is scared it's gonna happen again.
Or people would say weird things or hump me. Lowkey grossed me out, regret never speaking up.
So from all this, again, I just want to know if people experience this or something similar.i don't want to feel like a sensitive person because that's really not my thing.
Let me know your opinion!! (◠‿◕)

i think what you might be experiencing is called androphobia. it’s basically an irrational fear of men, or at least a strong sense of anxiety around them.
i used to feel the same way from elementary school through high school, and i’m still slowly working on it. even now, i find it hard to make eye contact or feel comfortable being close to men. i don’t mind talking to them, but usually only when it’s necessary.
other than that, i still get a bit anxious around men, especially in certain situations. it’s not as bad as it used to be, but it’s something i’m still learning to manage.
if you ask me what i did to manage my fear, it was basically gradual exposure by slowly pushing myself to interact with them over time, but again, only when necessary. i started with small, manageable situations, like brief conversations or just being in the same space. over time, it helped me realize that the anxiety would pass, which made it a little easier each time.
i definitely understand how hard it can be to be around them, especially when the anxiety feels overwhelming or exhausting. but i hope that, in your own time and at your own pace, you’re able to find ways that help you feel safer and more comfortable, even if progress comes in very small steps.
Thank you this helped! ♡⸜(ˆᗜˆ˵ )⸝♡
