Guyfobia, how do I get rid of it?

Question

I cannot talk to guys. AT ALL. My brain freezes over and I can't think of a single thing to say! I just blush and look at my feet and wish I would disappear through the floor. I am actually scared of guys, and it's so totally silly but I don't know how to get rid of it :P! When I was little a used to play with guys all the time, I hanged out with my brother and his friends and played soccer and stuff. But now it's like they're a different species and I don't know how to communicate with them. I don't know what they are thinking or how I should act towards them. I'm very naive for my age and they just seem so mature and it's like a cultural clash or something. It's like they grew up and I just stayed the same. My friends have told me is a shame I act this way cause I'm a really fun person once I let my guard down, but I don't know how to loosen up -__-! plz help?

Answer 1

Be yourself. Talk to a guy who sits next to you in a class. Ask him what he likes about the class.
Another suggestion: get a girlfriend's help. ask her to back you up while you talk to him. If things get too awkward, she can break in and start jabbering.
BUT! don't try it with a guy you really like at first. try it out with a guy who you think would make a good friend.
Don't worry, it'll get better in time, believe me. I've been through it too.
Best Wishes,

Answer 2

do not get rid of it, you should never talk to guys. You should always be innocent, do not lose your innocence. You will lose your innocence if you talk to guys
