Am I scared or not ?
Hello!
Since last year I think, I started having a really disturbing feeling when I'm around men. It can be anyone: my father, my brother, a friend, another family member, a stranger in the streets. Really. Anyone.

I don't know if these I get these strange feelings because of everything that has happened to me with men.
I don't know how to stop these horrible feelings, and I don't want to talk about it with anyone by fear of being laughed at because this seems ridiculous....
