Let go of old grudges against men

I won't be like that

Quite often a person avoids relationships because he has before his eyes the unsuccessful experience of his parents. He thinks: “my father and mother were constantly arguing, but I don’t want to live like that.” Sometimes this happens strictly at the subconscious level, but more often the reason is no secret.

What is curious is that in both situations, people are not able to clearly say what personally prevents them from learning from parental mistakes and not allowing them in their relationships. It seems that the individual perceives a negative life scenario as something predetermined, programmed or karmic.

The worst mistake in the cases described is the attempt to shift responsibility for the fear of relationships onto the parents. This is not difficult to do, but you cannot do it this way.

The problem is that transferring blame to others deprives a person of the opportunity to change his life.

What relationships are people afraid of?

Not everyone knows what relationship phobias are called in psychology. If we are talking about the fear of falling in love, we can talk about “amophobia.” When people are afraid to get married, this phenomenon is called “gametophobia”. These disorders have common roots. Most often in the modern world, young people are afraid of:

• Love and infatuation;
• Serious and long-term relationship with a partner;
• Cohabitation and subsequent marriage;
• Making a mistake that could lead to a break with a loved one.

All these fears need timely correction. This needs to be done by a specialist.

Fear of relationships with the opposite sex

Men suffer from this disorder more often than women. This is due to their infantilism caused by a purely “female” upbringing in school and kindergarten. Guys who grew up in single-parent families especially often experience this fear. They are subconsciously afraid to take on the role of a loved one, father and husband, because they simply do not know how a real man should behave. An example of a friend or relative who is happy in love or family life will help to cope with this disorder.

He who fears love condemns himself to loneliness

Interesting. Psychologists say that in big cities this phobia is much more common than in rural areas. Experts suggest that the phobia is caused by a significantly longer period of a person’s growing up and growing infantility.

Fear of serious relationships

This phobia is often found in young people who were only children in the family. They are afraid to get married because they don't want to take care of another person. Most often, this disorder occurs in those who live with their parents or older relatives for a long time. Living independently will help you grow up and let go of your fears.

Fears of men in relationships with women

Most often, guys are afraid of girls who are too serious. It happens that a lady is determined to get married soon, but the man is not yet ready for this. Most likely, such an alliance is doomed to failure. If the girl slows down the speed of events a little, and the guy stops being nervous at the prospect of “becoming ringed,” everything can end well.

Fear of new relationships after a breakup

This phobia is quite common among women over 30 who are divorced or have recently experienced a breakup with their partner. If a woman has children from her first marriage, the situation gets even worse. The lady is afraid that her new chosen one will not accept children, and subconsciously pushes away all the fans. Only a tactful, delicate attitude of a gentleman towards his chosen one can solve the problem.

Parting is always painful, but you need to let go of this pain, because life goes on

Attention! If a woman is afraid of change, and the very possibility of building a new love is frightening, she can hold on to an unpromising partner for a long time, feeding on the illusory illusions of past love. For a lady to boldly step towards a new life, she needs a powerful push. Such an incentive could be, for example, moving to another city.

Fear of women, girls - gynecophobia (gynephobia, feminophobia, gynophobia): symptoms, causes

Causes:

• A cruel, domineering, or hot-tempered mother. Or she changed her mood quickly.
• The father is weak and weak-willed.
• Unpleasant personal experience. A personal unsuccessful relationship or simply an unpleasant situation involving a woman. Sometimes ladies act tense and aggressive with men because of past disappointments or bad stereotypes. Therefore, a man immediately faces the unpleasant side of girls.

Gynephobia
How it is expressed:

• Unpleasant sensations when trying to start a conversation with a girl. This could be anxiety or a strong feeling of fear.
• Fear of being the first to start dating, even if the girl is pretty.
• A gynecophobe tries to communicate with women as little as possible. Next to them he feels weak and unprotected.
• When communicating with women, feminophobes can be rude and arrogant. They try to emphasize their superiority.
• Gynecophobes are afraid to enter into intimate contact.

Feminophobia
Ways to solve the problem:

• You can consult a psychologist. But only if your phobia does not respond to your own treatment.
• Try to get to know the girls better. The unknown is scary. And if there is no uncertainty, starting communication will be easier each time.
• Understand that girls are people just like you. They have their own complexes and fears.
• Practice communicating with girls more often.

Understand that girls are people just like you.

• Don't be afraid of rejection. Someone's “no” is not at all a confirmation of your unattractiveness. This is just a sign that somewhere there is an even more interesting and beautiful girl who will say “yes” to you.
• Try to get rid of negative experiences from the past associated with girls. Imagine that a girl who once offended you tells you her story. Remember, any aggression is evidence of a person’s complexes and fears. Mentally see how the girl says that she is sorry, that she herself felt bad, that’s why she did what she did.

Everyone has their own preferences in kissing

Causes

Women fear intimate relationships much more often than men. This is due to the characteristics of upbringing. From the age of 12, girls are taught by their parents that sex is an immoral act. They are convinced that losing your virginity before the age of 18 is shameful. Old-fashioned parents argue that intimate relationships are possible only after marriage. They believe that a wife should be given to her husband pure and virgin.

If a girl grew up in a family without a father, and her mother constantly changed boyfriends, she will have the opinion that men only need sex from women. There will be a fear of being used by a young man, so in the future he will begin to avoid intimate contacts. She will form an association that sex is a path to unhappiness and loneliness. A girl or an adult woman will be afraid of an unwanted pregnancy.

Other reasons that influence the development of fear of intimacy:

1. Rape. After this, the person will experience disgust towards the opposite sex. Girls usually succumb to rape. After such a traumatic event, they will perceive all men as a potential threat.
2. Low self-esteem. It is the root cause of the development of an inferiority complex. A person is afraid of disgracing himself during first sexual intercourse. This is especially true for men. They worry that they won't get an erection or won't be able to satisfy their partner. As a result, they completely refuse sexual relations.
3. Fear of contracting sexually transmitted diseases (HIV, AIDS, syphilis). Some media propagate that any kind of sex leads to infection with incurable diseases. Patients worry that even contraceptives will not be able to prevent them.
4. Personal negative experience. The first unsuccessful intimacy, several painful sexual acts with inexperienced or too persistent partners influence the development of genophobia. Unpleasant sensations experienced during intimate intimacy force a person to avoid any sexual contact in the future. For men, negative experiences may be associated with criticism of the penis. Being still inexperienced, he does not know how to give pleasure to his partner, which is why he suffers a fiasco. But if a woman is wise, she will not make such a remark.

Another reason is poor sex education for young people. They have to learn about sex life on their own with the help of information on the Internet. On women's forums, the first sexual intercourse is described as painful and very unpleasant. After which the girls experience fear and try to delay the moment of first sex as long as possible.

Men are stopped by the fear of the unreliability of contraceptives and the rapid onset of the first orgasm. Worried that the first sexual intimacy will last no more than 5–10 minutes, they are afraid of embarrassing themselves in front of the girl and seeming incompetent.

What is fear of close relationships?

Fear of intimacy is the distance to which we are able to allow another person to approach us in a relationship. The stronger the fear, the greater the distance.

But we are talking less about physical distance and more about emotional distance, that is, how much we are ready to open up to another person, show ourselves as real and accept the other as he is, without illusions.

People can live together, but at the same time avoid talking about their feelings, “wear a mask,” hiding some of their qualities from others. For example, vulnerability, weakness or greed.

But for some people, such as those who have experienced physical or sexual violence, physical distance is important. She makes them feel safe.

And then people choose relationships or loves for themselves where the partner is physically far from them - lives in another city, is married, does not reciprocate, or does not even know about their existence.

Pain is always hidden behind the fear of relationships. The unpleasant things we have experienced in relationships with people. And the function of fear is to prevent this painful experience from happening again in our lives.

The fear of close relationships is just the tip of the iceberg, under which a large number of our other fears are hidden. They can be explored by asking yourself the question “What exactly am I afraid of when I’m afraid of close relationships?”

Fear of sex - erotophobia: symptoms, causes

Genophobia: the essence and symptoms of the disorder

It should be pointed out that fear as such is a natural and normal reaction of a healthy body. However, the biological nature of a living creature does not imply and rejects the presence of fear of sex. Fear of sexual intercourse is not a protective “idea” of nature. Genophobia is an irrational, groundless, inexplicable fear without any basis.

The ABC model in cognitive therapy. Treatment methods for phobias

However, such a disorder exists, and fear of intimacy in varying degrees of severity is inherent in almost 15% of the world's inhabitants. And this indicator only reflects the number of people who overcame their shame and shared their existing problem with doctors. How many people actually experience an obsessive and uncontrollable fear of sex - science does not know for sure.

Genophobia is a rather peculiar phenomenon. This term refers to various abnormal conditions associated with a person’s sexual life. This disorder may manifest itself as an exaggerated fear of engaging in sexual relations for the first time. This phenomenon is most often characteristic of young girls who have no previous experience of intimate contacts.

Genophobia can also manifest itself as a gigantic fear of sexual life in general. A man or woman suffering from this type of disorder has usually had sexual experience. But due to some conscious or completely ununderstood circumstances, they are seized with panic horror at the mere thought of potentially possible sexual intercourse.

What is cognitive therapy and how does it work?

Experiments in hypnosis: hypnotic phenomena in deep hypnosis (somnambulism). Hypnosis training

A feature of genophobia is the conditions for the emergence of obsessive fear. Panic anxiety affects a person not only directly when meeting a representative of the opposite sex. The phobia “rewards” the person with painful suffering when she hears any talk about sex, sees scenes of intimate meetings on television, or reads stories describing intimacy. Panic horror paralyzes the sick subject when he has thoughts about the upcoming “bed” continuation of the relationship with a cute and beloved partner. Such an individual may wake up in a cold sweat if scenes of intimacy appear in his dreams. Genophobia is a strange phenomenon also because a sick person may experience tender, fiery feelings for his chosen one, but he cannot decide on the logical continuation of a love relationship because of overwhelming and uncontrollable fear.

Genophobia not only complicates a person’s life and does not give the opportunity to experience all the beauty of being on earth. An obsessive fear of intimate life prevents normal relationships with the opposite sex, does not allow you to start a family and have descendants. Genophobia often deprives a person of the meaning of life and forces him to think about the meaninglessness of existence, causing the patient to contemplate suicide.

Another danger of this disorder is that the pathological fear of sexual activity cannot be overcome independently by using willpower. The fear of sex is firmly rooted in the subconscious of the individual, and, as we know, a person is not given the ability to consciously and purposefully control the processes occurring in this layer of the psyche. That is why, in order to eliminate the fear of sex and return a person to a normal existence, it is necessary to consult a doctor in a timely manner.

Fear of first intimacy - intimate phobia: symptoms, causes

Causes:

• Not knowing how to behave

• Avoids relationships and is afraid to fall in love, because... knows that the relationship will have to go through sex.

• Get rid of the attitude that not knowing about sex and being inexperienced is shameful. This is your first time. Not knowing much about something you've never done is not a bad thing.
• Honestly tell your significant other the truth about the fact that you are having sex for the first time.
• Be sure to protect yourself and make your sex safe. Then you won’t have to regret the first time.

Honestly tell your significant other the truth about the fact that you are having sex for the first time.

• Relax and get ready to have fun. Think about the pleasant sex that characters in movies, books, or people you know had. You can do it too!
• (For women and girls) Mentally thank your fear for trying to protect you. And let him go. Realize that your partner will help you and become your protection. An incentive to get rid of fear will also be the fact that it itself can become a cause of pain. The emotional and muscular tightness that fear causes will cause pain.

How to deal with narcissistic fear of intimacy?

Therapy involves re-experiencing narcissistic trauma—the childhood experience of devaluation. The psychotherapist tactfully but persistently confronts manifestations of grandiosity, explains to the client the psychological defense mechanisms he uses and the feelings of humiliation, envy and shame that arise as a result of the trauma. The goal of the approach is to reduce mental stress from the loss of the sense of omnipotence.

Work is also being carried out towards restoring the client’s true “I”, returning the basis for personal needs and desires. The method is focused on working through negative thoughts about one’s own personality. The psychotherapist's voicing and acceptance of the client's needs gives him the opportunity to recognize and work through negative beliefs that being an ordinary person and needing someone else's support and approval is too shameful and humiliating.

Types of fear

Fear of intimacy takes two forms. The first is the complete absence of sexual relations. Formed for the following reasons:

1. Excessive shyness. Mention of sex makes people feel awkward. Outwardly, this is manifested by a shy smile, reddened cheeks and strange behavior.
2. Distortion of ideas about sex. The main sources of information are pornographic films, which do not always correctly depict the intimate process.
3. Physiological problems. It occurs when a person experiences unpleasant, painful sensations during the first and subsequent sexual intercourse.

Some people focus on the negative. Instead of enjoying intimacy, they think about their own shortcomings. As a result, sexual intercourse is truly unsuccessful.

Another form is short-term sexual relationships. Orientation towards open relationships, when partners are united only by sex. They also avoid communication on personal topics.

Emotional intimacy is the inability and unwillingness to build a trusting relationship with a partner. Such people prefer complete isolation. Incapable of taking responsibility for others and even for their own lives. Sexual emotions are felt like a drug, so partners often change. Deep relationships are scary, so people try to avoid them.
