What’s normal when you’ve literally never interacted with men?
Embarrassing to say in my mid-20s (26F) but… I’ve never really had male friends. Like, at all. So I feel like I literally don’t know what normal interactions with men are supposed to be like.
Because of that, I overthink EVERYTHING. 😭 A male colleague once opened the door for me and I spent way too long thinking about it after. Like, “did I do something that made it seem like I’m weird?” even though I know it’s probably nothing.
There was also one time a guy talked to me in the lift. We had a decent, normal conversation, and my brain somehow overanalyzed it way too much. From ONE conversation. Which is insane and also so embarrassing.
Sometimes I also catch guys staring at me (or maybe they’re just spacing out, idk), and then I get so awkward that I can’t even hold a conversation anymore. I become super aware of myself and just want the interaction to end.
I just want to be able to talk to men normally and maybe even be friends without overthinking every little thing or making it a “thing” in my head.
Has anyone else been like this, especially if you had little to no experience with male friendships? How did you stop overthinking and just act normal?
