Is it normal to have a deep fear of intimacy ?

I have always wondered if there is something wrong with me in the area of sex and intimacy..
When ever I get close to someone, ie- kissing, my heart will start racing and I'll get anxiety. Basically it can lead to a panic attack! I have never had sex or been in a relationship either . I have always been happy sort of person in life but had my bouts of anxiety. I feel my sister is in a similar boat with me despite being younger. Idk if this is normal to feel this way? We have had a good child hood, so our fear of intimacy baffles me

    Sounds suspiciously like you (and your sister) are just anxious people. Push through the anxiety if you can, and you will soon realise intimacy isn't all that bad after all.

    If you can't work past your anxiety, you may need to seek the assistance of a doctor or therapist to either mellow you out chemical.y, or deal with whatever underlying issues are making you anxious.

    Interesting historical note, female anxiety was once treated by a doctor giving the anxious woman an orgasm.

    so fucking strange this is posted now the exact same thing literally just happened to me tonight which sent me into a downward spiral of anxiety which of course sends me to iin ( seriously this place only ever seems to get the crazy side of me)

    about an hour ago i literally walked out on the girl i've had a thing for since high school once I realised we were going to have sex, i mean i just fucking found myself walking all of a sudden thinking what in the actual cunting fuck am i doing, im going to be simultaniously kicking myself and cringing about this for a while

    maybe a few months ago i'd try to give some advice but clearly im not up to that anymore
