How can I gain more confidence around men and my friends?

Question - (4 November 2008) 3 Answers - (Newest, 5 November 2008)
A female United Kingdom age 36-40, anonymous writes:

I am a 25 year old female who doesn't have any friends and my work colleagues don't really like me, I am just someone who is there. I have never had a boyfriend and I feel awkward around the opposite sex, I have tried to come out of my shell by going on work night outs but whenever a guy touches me I feel awkward and pull away, does anyone have any advice to help me? I was thinking of going to the doctors but I would just feel stupid. I just feel as if I am not normal, I don't know if there are classes you can go to to help with confidence etc around men.

I have never had a boyfriend because the opposite sex have never showed an interest until lately, when I was a school boys just ignored me and when I started working the men in the office were all older and married and because I didn't have any friends to go out with, nothing ever happened.

give us some history please...why you never had a bf? is it cultural thing?I know lot of strict indian parents don't let their girls date..maybe you just kept studying and then got a good job right after college and have just started realising that now you need a bf...plz post some details so you can get better answers.

A lot of times, we just make an image of ourselves in our mind and go along with it even if we hate that image.You got to love yourself and put yourself before others sometimes to gain self esteem and confidence.
