I hate getting attention from guys because it always makes me feel sad, in a way.

I'll be having lots of fun when I meet them the first time and have a nice conversation, and I don't mind flirting or compliments. But whenever they ask to exchange numbers, or to meet up, or just generally initiate contact, I get very upset.

I think I'm scared that the guys don't really care about me, or that I'll never find love the way my friends have. I don't know, though. I just get really gloomy whenever I check my phone and see "What are you doing tomorrow?" or "How is uni going?". I just can't really deal with guys paying attention to me. I don't trust the good intentions behind it, even if I logically know that they'll usually not just want to have sex and delete my number.

And so, I get really sad whenever someone shows a 'romantic interest' in me.

Even if it's not fully justified, does anyone else feel that way sometimes? And what can I do about it?

    I think its perfectly normal. What you can do about this is try to be positive that the guy you meet wont hurt you but also dont trust him until you actually know him well so if he tries to hurt you, you wont be heartbroken and you will be able to get back on your feet and move on fast enough.

    Have you had some really bad or even traumatic experiences involving guys in the past?
