I'm really scared of guys. Any guy I meet tries to hurt me in some way, and I haven't even flirted with them. Anytime I think I made a friend (not a boyfriend), they harass me in some way. Some of my friends (girls) have these problems but I think I'm dealing with it harder then they are. I lost my self-confidence. I freeze whenever a boy comes near me who's not in my class. Am I just paranoid?

     I am friends with a lot of guys and when they are around their other friends, they act like total jerks. When I ask them why they act that way, they have no clue. Most of the time they don't even know they are doing it. Believe it or not, guys are just as afraid to talk to you as you are to talk to them. When you confront them (one on one), they stand there speechless. Try it--you never know what might happen.

     These guys who are harassing you need to get a clue. There are nice, cool guys out there who would treat you with respect. The problem can be finding them. Trust your intuition too: Often you can tell if a guy is sweet by how your body reacts. If you get a painful "prickly feeling" in your stomach or you get a psychic connection of something awful, I'd stay clear of him. But, if you get butterflies in your stomach and feel happy, stick with him; he's a keeper. By the way, we've all been there!

     You shouldn't ever let a boy make you feel low. If they talk about you they don't deserve to have you as a friend. As long as you show them it doesn't bother you, they'll leave you alone. Don't care what they think of you. Just remember: All women are beautiful!

     You should try to hang out with different groups of guys. You might find you don't need guys! There are plenty of cool girls out there who don't need guys around them. So try to hang out with different people!

     If guys are touching you in a way you don't like, then no, you're not paranoid. But if a guy just says hi and simply talks to you, then you might be. I don't know your past but if you have been sexually harassed before, then you might tend to not want a "guy friend" around you all the time. Try talking to someone and get to know them before you do anything more with the person.
