Scared To Get Married Or Speak To A Female. Feel Shy Amd Lost. What Can I Do?
Hi Dr.Samuel ; I am not sure about what I am doing right now but i am sure that i need your help - specially that i am feeling that I am at the edge of critical dangerous decisions and i am really worried about what i am going to do .
Dr.Samuel your advice and guide is really appreciated and thankful i really need your advise - my case is that I am a male - 34 years old - Single ; I am the oldest son for my parents and my younger brother and two sisters are married except me . Actually my issue is that i am really scared from getting married or to have any relations with any female - even when only speaking with any female i am always getting confused and lost and shy . I hate marriage i hate any type of connections and always i am fighting with my parents regarding marriage - even i am saying to them its shame and it has porn and it is bad - really bad even always becoming overreacted when i see married people kissing or loving each other ( either by kissing - speech - ....etc) . I am always getting overreacted when any body do any joke or discussions regarding these matters . The bad thing is that i am arabic and really i am sorry for that with the parents pressure where they were pushing me and telling me since my childhood is that the relations and communications with females is prohibited . Can you advise what I can do i want to live like others by leaving my home country and to live far away from arabs and parents . but i love my parents a lot .

Hi,
The best way to overcome your shyness would be to practice interacting with more and more women. Since face to face interaction may be difficult in your culture, try online chatting. Once you are comfortable with that, proceed to talking over phone and then try to meet and spend time with women. Within a few months, you'll notice a big difference.
Hope this helps. Best wishes.

Hello........
Thanks for your query. Based on your description, it appears more related to your sociocultural context than a psychiatric disorder. I would suggest you meet a clinical psychologist for behavioural intervention, social skills and assertiveness training that are likely to address your problems. If you still experience difficulty, i would suggest detailed psychiatric evaluation for social anxiety disorder. Wish you all the best.
