Men, what are some of your anxieties, insecurities, and problems you're dealing with and wish you had support for? Feel free to reply privately.

That my interest or attention is unwanted. Which happened a few times when I was a lot younger.

Now I struggle to express genuine interest in pretty much anything when people are around.

@serra do you mean this in general terms, or specifically with respect to romantic interest?

@drewdevault

Both.

It's worst when it's about romance since it's more personal.

But I have the same fears when it's about my hobbies or any topic at all.

The more the thing feels like a part of me the worse it gets.

@serra yeah, that's a really scary feeling. Thank you for sharing. I hope that you're still able to share the things you love with others, and that you've found people who get excited to hear about them. Certainly I'm one of them :)
