Why would these things bother me?

MetalheadMoMo6 June 26th, 2015

Some of the things that make me uncomfortable are things that only seem to cause discomfort to people who have had past traumas. I have not experienced any traumas related to this, but for some reason these things still bother me. For some reason, most men make me uncomfortable and I don't know why. Also, I can't wear anything that shows my figure. I can't wear anything without sleeves. I can't wear shorts. I can't wear anything that reveals even a little skin. I don't understand why these things would bother me so much. Canuneaseaboutthese things be from something else?

Were you sexually abused as a child? Did you do something extreme w/a man that now makes you uncomfortable around men and being yourself? I used to escort for a short period of time and after I started getting serious w/my now husband, I couldn't dress like I used to, completely changed my style of dressing in fact, and sometimes he asks me why I don't dress "sexy" anymore. Well .. it reminds me of that horrible period of my life. I forgot the last time I wore a skirt and some stilettos, but I just feel awkward now dressing like that. I don't even feel comfortable wearing lingerie to bed. I just wear an old t-shirt. But, somehow you have to let go of w/e is bothering you .. hiding behind all those clothes? Wearing a mask doesn't take away the pain, I learned that a long time ago. Show off your beauty. That first step will make you feel a lot better. :)

Nothing bad happened like that thankfully. But I guess I am afraid of turning out like the people I went to high school with. They didn't give one hoot about modesty and keeping hearts in one piece.
