I am a 18 year old female and I get anxiety from talking to guys. Doesn't matter there age or there background but if they happen to be from the male species I get nervous, sweaty, and get the urge to run away. I haven't had any traumatic experiences from guys at all. I have lived my life so far peacefully and I'm grateful for that. But this makes me really confused as to why I feel the way I fell when talking or interacting with guys. Especially if its a guy I like, I get difficulty breathing and I can't make eye contact to save my life. I see my friends who are all female, and they talk to guys like how I would talk to a female I'm friends with. All normal and relaxed. I have googled how I can overcome this but all the advice that I have found are geared towards guys and if its towards women then it'll say something like "make him chase you" or some bull like that. I am not insecure on my looks as much as I was when I was younger but this anxiety is there and I can't pinpoint the cause of it. I have been approached by guys asking for my number and all I could do was say no abruptly and walk away even when I wanted to give them my number. It has me leaving out of breath and sort of light headed afterwards. I have been single all my life because of this and I constantly ask myself what is wrong with me. I want to seek professional help but I am broke as broke can be so that's not an option. If anyone know how I can overcome this please tell me.
