Things that I have learned about myself today:
-I have intimacy issues with boys for a reason
1. Partly physical. Will have to get that check out
2. Partly emotional
a. I have always viewed sex and sexual acts as bad. I think that I've always believed that engaging in anything sexual, be it with someone else or alone, is inappropriate. To me sexual urges are things to be controlled or conquered, not fulfilled. So engaging in anything is a weakness and thus inappropriate. I know in my mind that this logic is so wrong. But its what I feel in my heart of hearts
b. Boys are completely sexual animals. For me, an issue has been that if a guy wants to do anything with me, he wants to do so simply because he wants my body. Nothing else. When a guy looks at me in the midst of something or when I look into his eyes during I sense hunger. Like, I'm an animal and I will tear you to pieces. If I had mind power I could make this into something that was a turn on but I can't. I hate that look and its burned into the back of my brain when I recall sessions of intimacy. And I hate how objectifying I think it is.
c. I am insecure. I think that I'm a pretty decent catch. I think that I have a good personality and am capable of keeping someone entertained, if not interested. But even though I believe these things about myself, I doubt that anyone else does. And that is a problem that extends beyond sexuality. But in keeping with the outline, I think that the fact that I can't accept that I might be a cool person, leads me to believe that any physical involvement with the other kind has to be on basis that what I have to offer is the bod and not the awesome personality.
3. History
- My PMS symptoms: Irritability. Right before I start my period I get really irritable and each time I can never figure out why until I ponder over this uncomfortable feeling and I'm like, "oh, right! i'm a girl."
