I'm fairly small and I've been in an abusive relationship before, so I'm always afraid that they're going to attack me. It sounds totally ridiculous I know, but I'm terrified. I refuse to walk anywhere by myself - I always make my friend Mike (who is one guy that I am not afraid of) walk me home, or my brother. What is wrong with me? I know that all guys (well, most guys) don't want to attack me and rape me or kill me, but I just can't shake that feeling. Especially because they all seem to be so tall, when I'm only 5'2".

Replies jamescoleman Posted at 5:40 pm on May 18, 2008 i've got something good for you to take care of this goto the gym (maybe womens) and get strong and also run alot. take martial arts classes where you can learn to kick guys butts but bewarned...guys and girls both practice with eachother with moves but you'll get some friends. now what will happen is that you know how to kick a guys butt over time and you'll be able to over power a guy over time this will instill confidence in you. lilac Posted at 12:21 pm on May 18, 2008 I'm 5'1 so don't feel bad. And talking to a councellor might help. I'm guessing you've had bad experiences before. Anonymous Posted at 1:03 pm on April 29, 2008 Thanks. I do think I need to talk to somebody - I can't stand that my ex-boyfriend still has this control over me.
