Not in the sense that I'm literally afraid of them and they give me nightmares, no, nothing like that. More like, afraid of approaching the ones that I'm attracted to because they might think I'm some weird stalker. Sometimes when the ones I'm attracted to hold the door open for me, I don't even acknowledge them because the idea of them being attracted to me seems odd in my mind and I'm afraid if I thank them, they'll regret showing courtesy towards me.

Some other info is that I'm very shy, hold some acquaintances and friends, but very few. I've never been in a relationship before and sometimes my emotions have been played around by girls I've been attracted to, others have just looked at me with disgust for no reason. Other times there have been girls I've been attracted to show interest in me and do no harm but as a result of said past experiences, I shied away and they usually seemed confused and I was just left with another feeling of regret at another missed chance. However I have no problems with social interaction with dudes and feel no fear or anything.

What do I do?
