Anyone else feel intimidated by specific people and find it hard to communicate/interact with them?
A friend of mine and my Dad both have this response in me where I find it hard to remain eye contact and say more than a few words at a time to them. Its not like they are gonna hurt me physically, I can see they both try to interact with me, but its like my body is so scared that they can upset me that I withdraw completely.
My counsellor told me to try and speak with my friend and tell him he hurt me in the past and explain that its stopping me from communicating with him. But I havn’t been able to arrange that with the friend yet.
Probably worth pointing out, that I have this with most people or even strangers. Its a very specific thing.
