Hi guys!!! So i’m a 14 year old girl, and I almost never interact with boys.
I grew up relatively christian, being told to “cover up” around men as a child. Being fed the narrative that men can’t control themselves, etc.
Every boy that I’ve interacted with has had the same bigoted world views (boys my age), and just seem to never be quite as nice as girls (to me at least).
I don’t want to be friends with a man, I don’t live with a man and I feel much more comfortable only having women in my life.
The issue is I get uncomfortable around any men, and I don’t know how to stop being uncomfortable? I just can’t seem to make any meaningful connections with guys like my classmates can. I feel like I just “click” more with girls.
Basically does anybody have any advice on how to get over this? It doesn’t exactly get in the way of my life, but I feel like i’m missing out. Plus I’ve heard it’s quite sexist? I just don’t know how to get over all of the statistics and fear I have surrounding men.
