Is anyone else afraid of intimacy?
Emotional intimacy is the most terrifying thing for me next to feeling stuck.
I have no problem with physical intimacy though so things like hugging, being close, touching, kissing, etc. aren't an issue.

Yeah, but it's not something I want to do. One of my bigger fears is that if I went to therapy they'd try and get me to be more social. I don't want to be social.
My greatest fear in life is a woman seeing my micropenis. This fear makes it impossible to interact with any woman, unless im being served by one in a store.

Both are incredibly hard and I cope very badly with being in the center of attention, it's weird, considering how comfortable I am at giving speeches and being in a leadership position, but I hate being given genuine attention from people that I don't even personally know of. It has led me to cuck myself out of many things in life.

Yup
Like that scene from Wall-E but I'm mentally retarded from the start.

Kind of related, I'm afraid of being open and leaving myself emotionally vulnerable.
Yea, but it's not really a problem. I'd never let anyone that close, maybe mostly because I know if I got used to it I'd start craving it and that'd be miserable once I inevitably won't get it anymore.

Yes I think I know what you mean. It's a strange feeling. Maybe we didn't experience it enough as kids to be comfortable with it.
I remember when I got a job after years of being NEET, my mom gave me a hug. It felt so bizarre being hugged and it made me realize how little physical contact I've had in my life, not just from my parents but in general.
I guess. Emotional intimacy I have no problem with, its the physical side of it. There was a girl who was interested in me. I learned then that physical intimacy will give me crippling depression and I start to avoid the person like the plague.
Thats when I realised that even if a girl liked me, Im just not made for relationships. Such a shame too.
I always try to be at distance form everybody, physically and emotionally. Looking in other peoples eyes makes me nervous or feel cringey/awkward. Same thing happens when I'm making a ''bond'' with someone.

I've heard that it works in a contrarian fashion and that people who long to be in the center of attention are the kind that was never given any and wants to PROVE to mummy and daddy just how wrong they were about him being BAD at video games, or something.
All I want is hugs but even that is too much for a complete loser.
all i want is hugs
but all they want is

intimacy is time-consuming, people start expecting shit from you when you become involved, shit's stressful

I can't even touch people always feel disgusted by that regardless of the person/sex.
