I was mostly in dark about men all my teenage life. I did not know how they function. I could not even look them in the eyes and talk. It is so weird how I perceived them. The only men in my life were from family and I used to shut my mouth around other men...I used to watch a lot of romantic shows and movies and even dreamt about getting married but never actually processed the "dating" or "talking" to a man to reach to that point.
It is so embarrassing to think back. If I were normal around men, trying to get to know men, trying to be myself around men, I would not be this confused person.
For me now, I just look at them as a validation bank.
It is not healthy to be overly attached to the image they create for me. I do not know what I am. I only know the person I am based on what they say to me.
One of the reasons, us girls get emotionally attached to a man is because we think what they think is so much important and special. Living in a patriarchal society, our mind has been subconsciously acting against us.
We have to fix this.
Women need to be loved. However, that is not the only thing we need.
