I need help...

I have a phobia. It's Virginitaphobia, the fear of getting raped. I have no reason to be scared, because I live in a veilig neighborhood, and I would never try to get into a situation like that. I can't stop thinking that some guy who is being nice to me is actually going to rape me. I think it's because of my overactive imagination (and partially how many boeken I read). I'm never comfortable around guys, and I don't even like hugs that much, from ANYBODY, just because I think they're 'feeling me'. Do u have any reassurances, ideas on how to get me over this fear, any advice, comforting words, anything to get me over this fear.
Thanks,
%**Jordan**%

Further explanation: I'm old enough to be raped for it to make a 'difference', yet not really old enough to need self defense classes. And, i'm pretty much withing a few steps of another parent/teacher/adult, because I almost live at my school, for my dad is the vice principal. Again, I don't have many rasons to be scared, with my situation, but I am.

I am here for u if u need to talk about anything. It must be hard for you...but if u keep telling yourself that u will not be raped then your mind will start to believe it.
Hope that helps so. If not just send me an emai and we can talk.

Yeah, I mean, allm y guy vrienden are nice to me, and most guys just ignore me (which I'm okay with, actually makes me feel better.). And, at my school, we're not allowed to bring any form of weapon, so that cancels out the knife/spray. And, I practically live at the school, my dad being the vice principal. He's only a few steps away, and I'm still scared. Anyway, thanks for the tips and advice! :)

u should look into a local community center and try to take a self defense class. If u know how to protect yourself you'll feel meer safe.

Yeah, but I don't want to let my parents to know (I don't know why, I just don't), and Self-Defense classes would give that away. But thanks for the advice! :) :)

fears work like this an idea is implanted into your mind and it becomes something ones obssess over. therefore the phrase an irrational fear. but we are human so its perfectly normally. i would say try to focus on other things like think about other things that make u happy. i find letting out your feeling about on paper helps. thats one way. for me when i feel fear like snakes, i just go hyper rational. which its just me. i think the advice above would serve u better. u could try talking to someone about it. a phobia is not something to really take lightly, it a type of anxiety also anxiety can lead to hyperventilation under stressful situation.
i dont really think i helped u much anyways. here u go.
GOOD LUCK!

Ok there is no point in believing it might never happen after all my brothers fiance thought she would never get attacked but she did. So what u need to do is do things that mean there's less chance of it happening for instance never go down alley ways on your own keep to busy places. Get an attack alarm and of pepper spray and get self defence lessons. That way u have done all u can to minimise the likelihood of it happening. Then u can tell yourself u don't need to be worried about it and if necessary u can then get help with your phobia. Hope this helps

I understand. Just think that no one is going to hurt you. If they are,then trust me, you'll know. And if they were going to rape you, they probably wouldn't be nice to you. For the most part, just fake it till u make it. Just act like youre comfortable, and then after a while you'll see that the guys arent that bad.
