Is it normal to shy away from opportunity?

I get nervous around people very easily, especially if someone shows an interest in me. I'm not necessarily uncomfortable but I'd just rather not deal with it... and I always end up feeling a little sad when the person moves on.

My first semester of college went like this: a handful of people wanted to do something with me but it was always about sex, not me as a person and I just didn't like that attitude. I THINK I'm glad I skipped that(?), but at the same time, I also feel guilty because I had opportunities to toss my v-card, you know?

I just feel very alone and confused. Does it sound like I have a fear of some sort? Or am I just not "ready"?

I'm 18 years old and female, by the way.

    You're a female with a pulse. You'll have plenty of opportunities to toss the v-card. Wait til you find somebody you care about and vise versa.

    My biggest fear in life is to be on my death bed, regretting the things I didn't do.

    Don't worry about losing your virginity because guys who just want to have sex with you aren't really guys that you should hang out with. Because they just want to have sex, they don't really care about you. Give yourself opportunities to get to know people and I can guarantee that you will find a great guy who will actually care about you as a person and where your personalities would be compatible with each other.

    Go get the opportunities you have. Make sure you're wise about the choices you make that could lead to permanent consequences. Don't hang around people that want things from you. Find people that genuinely encourage you to be the best person you can be and pursue the dreams you have. Cheers.

    God you're 18. Who cares. The current situation with the media pushing sex on everyone has even got 12 year olds stressed out about not getting sex. It's very warped and demented. Do what you want, when you want to do it and use your best judgement. That's the best you can do.
