Went to therapy this morning.
I can't tell you how nice it is to finally have a female therapist. Well meaning people, have, at various times---put me with male shrinks...thinking that, "Surely, a man would want to talk to another man, right?"
Wrong.
Men make me uncomfortable.
Paradoxically, I'm attracted to them, but they have always made me nervous and ill at ease.
I cannot open up to a man...I'm constantly worried that he's going to hurt me.
I'm emotional, highly strung, and highly sensitive. I like to talk about FEELINGS...and not bullshit about sports and cars.
Most of my friends are female, for that very reason. I have maybe three close male friends...but they're very atypical.
I can't ever see myself being more than acquantances with a hetero man.

When I went to a therapist about 5 years back, I felt much more comfortable being around a man. I think I feel like I am in competition with women!
Have a great day!
