Are you afraid of intimacy?

[SoleSource]

I have been hurt and used so ill by guys I have reached the stage where I cannot look a man in the face whilst in a casual chat.

I feel I will never again date or have make friends as all I know of men is hurt.

How about you, reader?

Or have male friends not make friends.

Yes, am also quite wary.
Quite a lot of male friends, but I'm ultimately still guarded WRT to relationships, trust, etc. It's something that I'm working on and have learned to live with, by which I mean I don't see it as something that ruins my life. I'm very happy as things are, but do realise that I could still go a long way in developing trust. It will take ages, though, if it happens.

Men deserve zero of me.
