Yeah. My anxiety shoots up high whenever i'm with women that are very very confident, very very loud or very very pretty. Especially so, around my age, 23 years. Man, they not only look more mature but even lead very mature lives like moving out with their partners, having kids and even holding down a full-time job.

But ironically, I feel most comfortable with woman, especially for friendship unlike men. I don't really have real life male friends because I feel very uncomfortable with them.

I honestly think it's not about gender issues. It's just that my self-esteem went hay-wire whenever I meet people that fits into the extremely extroverted mould.
