Question - (5 February 2007) 2 Answers - (Newest, 6 February 2007)
A male age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I am scared of doing things that would unnecessarily attract attention from people, may it be wearing nice clothes to getting friendly in a conversation with girl. The constant fear is that people would unnecessarily envy me, try to depress me and may not continue to relate with me due to their own complexes. It has happened to me in past and does keep happening everytime they get a hint that i may be better than they are in certain aspects. It doesn't make any difference for me for that matter but it does to others. I have seen this happen even when i am close to a girl in past. Is something i do triggering up insecurities in others? If so, how do i handle it so that the relationship with the person concerned is not affected. I am 25 yrs of age.

Hi there, upon reading your problem, its as though you are talking about me. I have got that continuously in the past, in that, whenever i try to fit in or get friendly with girls, they sometimes take a dislike to me for no reason whatsoever. I like to take care of myself, dress well and have nice clothes, but for some reason, women feel threatened! I think it all boils down to their insecurities, they see you are an attractive girl, look well, and if you are getting alot of male attention, they tend to get a bit jealous and try and bring you down a peg or two. Thats what i have found, i had people being nasty to me for no reason, in particularly older women! Unfortunately all you can do is be yourself and try to get along, at the end of the day, their the one with the problem and insecurity and this should not stop you from being who you are.! Wish you the best of luck...
