Do you feel anxiety around pretty Men/women/boys/girls

[coyote]

yeah I have that feeling too. Im anxious around people who are pretty, dynamic or confident. They make me think that i am so flawed compared to them.

This is how I feel, too....with both men and women.

It's one thing to be nervous around a pretty woman, but I really hate it when I get nervous or intimidated around men who I think are "better" than me.

Oh, and it's even worse if the person is in some position of authority.

 

[Why]

yeah around pretty girls definitely, i always try to avoid them in pubic because i assume they think im a creep or somthng tryin to approach them

 

[iamthenra]

Yes, I do. Around pretty females irregardless of age. For some reason I feel that way even around teens? They are more threatening to me if they are pretty? Now that is just weird.... A little teen girl intimidates me, actually all females from teens up that are pretty intimidate me and make me very anxious and even depressed because I know that I will never be able to be good enough for someone who is attractive.

I don't necessarily avoid pretty girls in a situation like a cashier, but if I do go to that cashier I try to act uninterested in her so as not to look creepy.

Only girls if they are looking at me,there is a small break room in my job and there are 2 girls there among people,so eventually they will look at me and I dont know where to hide my face,get all red,walk all weird.

I don't mind being around anyone who takes attention off of me. I've been surrounded by beautiful women all my life so I'm pretty much used to them.

Any chance you live in a house of mirrors?

 

[overcome.]

I can agree. I'm quietly confident, but I do get these things happen. I think honestly, unless you've had tonnes of experience with people in general (whatever sex and how attractive they are) then you'll be a little like this. Remember, although most of the feelings (and symptoms) you're getting during these scenarios, there's also that feeling of excitement underneath. I think at times it can be hard to realise that you're going through feelings of excitement while you're feeling extremely anxious.
