Why am I like this?

[hellinnorway]

Why do I dislike women? Why do I care so much about what they think of me? Why am I so defensive towards them?

I am a 23 year old guy who use to be comfortable around women and even dated them, but now I get extremely anxious when I am near them (almost agoraphobic). I have never had my heart broken by a woman or been involved in a traumatic incident. Also, I am unsure of my sexuality (straight or bi) and wonder if it has anything to do with this. Please help me to understand why I am this way. Thank you for your time.

Please don't dislike females - we are half of the human race.

Only one way to know if you're bi - go and try.

I hate myself for it. I am sincerely sorry.

I would if I did not have severe social phobia. Any suggestions?

Sounds like how I discovered me being bisexual.

Therapy?

..

I have had therapy since I was 15 and I still feel like it does not make a significant difference in my life. Any other suggestions?

Are you going to the same therapist or have you tried different things?

..and half of yourself is female as well - the world is very Yin, but don't disown the Yang!!

I would say they are stirring some deep stuff up, whatever that may be. You can either try get the the root of it if possible, or do what i've always done - completely avoid women & sexuality.
