How do I stop rejecting affection

Do you know WHY?

No not really maybe trust issues but I really don't know

Aromantic/asexual?

No I like women, but even if a girl I like flirts with me I start resenting her and eventually I become uninterested

So you are interested in pursuing relationships/sex with women but not AS it's happening?

>>18469198
Yeah basically. I mean I like the idea of a relationship but like I said I reject affection it make me uncomfortable and for some reason I never think it's not really genuine. And when I do think it's genuine I think it's pathetic. I know this isn't healthy.

Like anon before me said; do you know why? sounds like some deep rooted stuff to me.

>>18469223
Nope not a clue. it's not like I've been betrayed in the past by some who was affectionate towards me. And I feel like I've been this way for as long as I can remember I do have social anxiety if that helps but it's not v severe it's not like I've ever had a panic attack or anything and I'm completely friendless. You could probably barely tell I had it if you meet me.

perhaps you fear rejection? Rejection is frightening in itself, even without past trauma.
