Q: Losing friends, becoming really isolated

I'm starting to be really isolated and I'd like to talk about it. I'll try to make this short but this story started since a year.

I have problems with girls.

I have no problem about having a casual or normal conversation, but I just can't stand getting involved with girls, its way to difficult. Sometimes I just start a casual conversation and then run away because its getting me involved. I can't see my friends (guys) because of theirs other friends (girls), I am being isolated because I can't stand bonding with girls.

The problem is, when I stay at the same place, its becoming more and more easier to get involved, so I move to another town, but now I just can't move, I'm stuck. And I'm really frightened having a huge breakdown in front of everybody, being forced, after that, to explain myself and thus becoming involved with people.

The thing is, I really like girls, and worst, they really like me (thats the most painful part). I want to be with them but I'm not allowing myself to do that (I donno why yet), thus this leads to a nervous breakdown. And after, you have to tell them, and obviously this will get you involved.

My first breakdown was caused by a girl I loved, I couldn't live with it, so I had a breakdown, but then realised that when you love someone: "you have to try". So its basically the same thing here except there is no love here, I just like girls.

I mean, I don't want to burden others with my problems, its way to huge, they don't want that. Do you imagin yourself at school or at your job having such a breakdown? That will make everybody having nightmares and not eat for a week. (Presuming they don't see you, if they do, this will scare the sh*t out of them). These people don't know anything about you and may not even care and just see you as a wacko which has the be placed in an psychiatric hospital.

My recommendation is this: See a good therapist. Please do so because you don't want to miss out on love and meeting nice young women to date. Don't be afraid to talk to someone about it. I would actually recommend a woman therapist. It's vital. I hope you believe that it could change your thinking. I do believe your thinking about this subject is very influenced by depression, and you can't trust those judgements. Don't deprive yourself because you think you're a bad person for having an episode where you felt out of control. A lot of us have been there! Don't let embarrassment over such a event rob you of opportunities for happiness.

It might be issues of abandament or relationship phobias. My boyfriend was like that and his hands would sweat so bad when he knew he was going to be in a relationship. You just need to speak and say yu don't want to be in a relationship now, and it would be a good idea to see a therapist if you deep down want a relationship. Hope this helps a little.
