How to accept you'll never speak to a woman again

Farathiel profile image
21 Replies

I'm a 35 music professor, I've been suffering from anxiety that has turned into a phobia/ptsd of women (at least what my latest therapist is calling it).

I haven't been good enough for a covnersation to a woman in 13 years without her having to be paid. We know for a fact my very best isn't worth being treated as human.

How do I learn to accept I'll always be trapped in my room till I get the courage to die, never worth one single conversation no matter how hard I try?

Well honestly I felt the same way you're feeling right now but due to some of the amazing people on here that just listen and can sympathise with your situation ,it's a blessing just knowing we're not alone ,pls keep fighting forward,I know it's hard and at times even pointless

Thank you, I just hope anyone has any advice. My therapists all say I need positive experiences with women, but therapists can't facilitate this and no woman has ever spoken to a shy short man first in public...

So I must learn to accept no woman sees me as even human.

Its nice to meet other men in thr same boat

That's the beauty of this site there are like-minded non judgemental,who can and will just listen and/or offer there life experience,when you have a chance and when your not to stressed (I know that's a rare thing) just try and drop a few messages to some of the lovely ladies on here ,there honestly a really really good bunch,and hopefully that'll get you back into chatting with women/people,best wishes steve

Oh gosh, I would never message a woman again first. The anxiety just thinking about it makes me pass out. And no woman has ever even attempted to get to know me in my adult life, let alone be my friend.

I hope youre right, I hope someday I'm good enough to be treated as human by one woman.

Thank you for the kind words. I'm here hoping to learn how to accept I'll never speak to a woman again. Its so hard learning you can never be worth love let alone just a conversation.

Well I can tell you straight away you are worth it just as much as anyone else,maybe you have differences,but everyone is different not just you ,so please try and not be so hard on yourself,I can tell even though we've never met that your a good person and that goes a long long way ,I'm sorry if I came across as pushy and/or upset you ,that was never my intention

Oh you weren't pushy at all, the opposite! You brightened my day lol.Qnd yeah thats why it hurts. I can spend my life helping kids but criminals get tens of millions of love letters a year... and not one woman is willing to even learn my name.

I've learned the hard way kindness is not wants worth love in this world.

Farathiel in reply toLazyXrayEyes2255

Qhh that makes sense. Men like shorter women and women love tall men.I was 4ft2 till 28 and not one woman ever gave me the tiniest chance. I was so short my personality and life has never even mattered yet.

Tik Tok lots of people short but nice smiley personality and really nice and sometimes they make comedian laughs. Sorry you had hard time. Which country you from?

Farathiel in reply toLazyXrayEyes2255

I'm from California in the US. And you're right US short men are just jokes to everyone. All we are good for is making people laugh. There is good reason I've never been worth friendship to a woman.Where are you from?

I didn't mean it like that. Everyone precious human beings. London, United Kingdom

We all have good intelligence!

Spice of life, we are all different!

Farathiel in reply toLazyXrayEyes2255

Oh youre very kind, I understand what youre saying. Ugly doesn't stop friends lol, but anxiety does, as you'll never speak to anyone. I haven't spoken to a girl in real life in about 13 years now. When was the last time you were good enough to talk to the opposite sex?

I found out this forum is anonymous, no wonder you women respond. There is no way I can ever be good enough for friendship or even a conversation on here.

Just like everywhere. I must learn to accept every woman hates me with all her heart
