Is it normal to be a woman with a fear of women...
I am a female in my early twenties.
I have pretty good social skills and I am able to make friends wherever I go, but I have a horrible fear of women. While I don't go any distance to do this, I prefer male contact over female contact.
I always expect women to be violent and hateful. I know many women are not like this, but it is a horrible anxiety that I have felt my whole life. I rarely if ever have female friends because I just have so much anxiety when it comes to interacting with females. Most of my female friends are in their thirties at the youngest.
I don't understand this either. Both of my parents were violent and abusive, so shouldn't I also be afraid of men? I'm pretty confused. Advice would be very much appreciated.
