I've always had a fear of men, since I was younger. Nothing traumatic happened to me, involving one either. I don't know why I have this phobia. I just do. Fictional men or male characters, are awesome. But real ones terrify me. Certain ones, cause me more anxiety than others. I was wondering if anyone else has this fear on this forum. I recently made a Whisper group called Androphobia. To try and find other people who experience the same thing.

I can kind of relate. For me (bio female, genderfluid), I can be comfortable with gay men, but straight men scare me. Even if I know him, there's still a small fear there. I think, for me, it's the testosterone and aggression that can happen. Gay men seem more docile to me, idk.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
