Girls make me nervous

Again a question to myself and others.Whenever I am surronded by girls I feel very uneasy and nervous and at the same time excited.Like in gym when girls are around I cannot workout,and when boys are around I have no problem.I can concentrate on work.

In shopping center,when cute girls are nearby I get totally nervous and very awear of their presence and when boys are there,I hardly notice there existance.As my friends do not have slight idea that I am lesbian they consider me very confident the way I deal with boys..hahahaha.

In train,in parks,in office whereever this beautiful sex is , I am totally out of my sense.

Is it normal or my harmones need some treatment.

*****

Public speaking, very tight, confining areas, spiders, heights and the occasional boogey man in the dark make me very nervous, but girls?  Not even close.  Except back in high school when I worried the girls I was attracted to could tell my feelings no matter how much I tried to hide it. 

You sound "normal" to me. :) I think a sense of humor helps a lot.  It can also help break the ice when you want to go past your nervousness and say hello.  However, if she starts to look like she has numerous limbs and very large, black eyes.....there maybe a reason you're uncomfortable.  Just teasing.

i get it

yep, i totally get it. just a complete apathy in regards to the opposite sex. it's not the stereotypical lesbian HATE against men, i can just kind of take 'em or leave 'em. don't ever really look twice. girls on the other hand....i don't think it's a nervousness so much as the hyper-awareness. totally.

They make me nervous too

Me too everytime there are girls around me i get nervous and I tend to forget what Im doing. My hands get sweaty and I feel nervous. And I thougt I was the only one that feels like this.

silly rabbit

i know what you mean,i feel really indifferent when a guy is around unless he's friendly. i get excited around girls, i like making them smile even if its for something stupid just to break the ice. the worst part is if i really really like a girl i tend to get clumpsy and do really silly things to hide my nerves.

too shy to look at them

it happens to me all the time. problem with me is, i can't tell if they are interested.

i'll sneak a peek but then pretend not to look. i'll look whenever they're not looking.

oh did i mention i can't even walk near them? LOL so whose worst?

there's a lot of cute girls in nyc but i assume they are all straight and not bother with it.

yea i'm stupid. what can i say i'm a big geek.

Too shy to think of them

I am the worst case scenario.

Listen more,I use to go to the gym with 80% girls and I changed it and now I go to the gym with 100% males.So hard for me to be with girls all around.I use to work with management team ,70% girls there and now I am in technical field with 2% girls.

I do not want to sit in train where there are girls,so I bought a car and I drive alone till work.The more I try to act normal the more I behave stupidly.

The thing is that I love the way the talk,laugh,smell and many many other things.Here in Sweden the girls are killers.I have been(lived and worked for IT company) to many place around the world like India,USA,UK,Germany but my God Swedish girls no comparison.

I dare not to look at anyone as my eyes are very talkative,so I keep my eyes under cover ...glasses....ahhhhh

Not only I am very shy but a coward little ass.

Well I'm happy to know that I'm not the only lesbian that acts like an awkward 15 year old boy! I'm usually the one who will do anything for the sake of a good laugh. But when I meet new girls that I find attractive I get tongue-tied and just kinda sit there avoiding eye contact - I'm told that I come off as conceited and unapproachable lol. I'm such a fidgety, shifty-eyed dork around beautiful women in public too, but at least I don't have to see them again (sad in a way.) I'm totally fine around guys, and my extra-friendly manner around them is often misinterpreted as flirting! I'm waiting to overcome this little problem any day now lol.

totally.........

like lespaul13 said, i think its more a hyper-awareness when amongst women, its not as easy to get rid of during the intial stages of your acceptance if like me you came out late, and it could also possibly make u more vulnerable amongst women than u realize.

I wuz never aware of how many women i attracted until last year and the main reason they are attracted is because I exude an air of confidence ( which i had to learn to maintain not just amongst my boys and close female friends, but more importantly among women who I was attracted to!)

its only normal to be nervous, but don't let it take over, push it to the side without being sumone ur not :-)

same here

I have the same problem as well....I get extremely nervous whenever I am around cute girls.  I would get all weird and shy and all the sudden my accent becomes very strong (not those sexy english/french accent either).  I am so glad I'm the only female on my team at work.  With behavior like this...I'm not sure if I'll ever find myself a gf...sigh... 
bekksii's picture

guys are just easier to

guys are just easier to hang out with.. none of that attraction stuff..

maybe we just assume girls are gonna be bitchy.. i mean from my school years i definetly grew scared of girls. they were cruel. the guys were easy.. played fotball with em.. hung out...

 

i dunno... just a personal theory...

 

women jsut makes me nervous... i always get scared of my gfs... kinda crapy.

whitneyk's picture

i HOPE that's normal

hah i totally get nervous too and start acting stupid. then i geet this goofy grin on my face and it's like i go back to second grade. it's kinda sad.. really. HOPEFULLy we'll get over it. hha =)

 ya and with the guys i'm like "one of the guys" and it's totally chill. guys can be cute and stuff but it's TOTALLY DIFFERENT WITH GIRLS.

girls makes me hyperventilate

it's ridiculous, i can't even look at a girl without any bad intention in my head..lol..

and then my nose would start to sweat, when i talk to them.. =( my co-workers thinks it's really cute, but it just makes me feel a little immature.. it's SO NOT CUTE ..lol 

the funny thing is i work in retail and maaan, it's not easy, especially, if she's like super hot and asking me if the clothes looks good on her.. mmm yummy..[*my thoughts: YOU LOOK GOOD EVEN WITHOUT THOSE CLOTHES ON.. LOL] lol. but ofcourse i can't say those .lol 

ha! and most of them are straight lol..

however, im really trying hard not to be shy and hit on them, even if they are gay or not ..lol.. i think "some" girl take it as a compliment if another girls were to hit on them and i figure if i don't put myself out there how will they know, right?.. and most of the time, it's really hard to spot a lesbian in steletos and with long hair, unless, if you put yourself out there. .

This makes me feel better

I am sooooo awkward in general, that I'm 10 times worse around girls I find attractive. I act like the nerdy teenage boy and just can't talk to them. I don't even try. I do get obvious--I get nervous, start to trip and start to almost hyperventilate (and all this just trying to WALK past the cute girls) and I sometimes stare though I know better. hah. I got flirted with (sorta) once in a bar, and she bought me a drink that I downed so fast that I got drunk all because I was nervous in her presence. I came off as a jerk, I'm sure, because I couldn't even look at her/talk to her after that. I give up...how can I find a girlfriend if I can't even be in the presence of girls? Much the same as everybody else, guys don't scare me at all. That's why the only relationship I've been in has been with a guy--he didn't make me nervous.  I'm also (as they put it with Dana) "so gay" that the relationship was doomed from the start. Oh well--I feel better now after reading this topic because at least I'm not the only one. I just have to find another awkward girl so we can be awkward together, haha. Damn--that'd be a lot of awkwardness in one relationship. =P

that is exactly what i ask

that is exactly what i ask myself aswell... how can i have a girlfriend if i get so nervous around them... and its not jsut nervous.. its.. extremely nervous and shy...

i've been terrified of all my gfs.. seriously... it is kinda embarasing really.

girlbat's picture

Me Exactly!

Around guys I feel relaxed and comfortable, but women scare me to death!  Especially girls that I'm attracted to.    I think I need a shrink! :\
notastalker's picture

Girls make me nervous, too

I'm really glad to hear that I'm not the only one. It gets so bad that I can't think around them and if talking to them, it is really hard to think of things to say because I'm so nervous around them
E_Frost's picture

Me too

It's horrible I can never go up to a girl and start conversation with her. I couldn't do it even if I knew she was interested. I hate it. It makes me feel like a big loser.

We're Normal!

 

Butterflies (the size of small airlanes), light-headed-ness, sweating, brain...can't.....think...straight (duh, of course not straight - lol) - perfectly normal!

On some random TV show, someone was giving advise about being nervous: "Just imagine them naked" (or "...in their underwear") - OMG! That makes it even worse! ...or "I already am - That's the problem!"

Just thank heaven we weren't cursed with penises! I was so sick of 'boy-bulges' in high school, but then I thought "If I had one, I'd probably be just like that"! If it's any consolation, I think that most people are just like us!

The things that helped me most were [1] realizing that most people get nervous around people they like, and [2] most people think that shyness is 'cute', 'sweet' or 'charming', and they accept the whole thing as a compliment! ;-)

Hugz!
