This seems really wierd even to me. But when I am with girls that I don't know (like in public places), or in a place where there are alot of girls I don't know and I'm alone, I feel almost threatened. It's wierd, it's like I have to put this shield over me because I don't trust them, but it doesn't happen with guys (unless it's obvious he hates me or something). I don't feel much fear; it's almost like it's a threat but I can handle it but I don't want to. It's more like anxiety, like I'm in a war zone and there's people out to get me. I try not to look around, just mind my own business. It's not a pleasant experience, but one that I have gotten used to because it happens so much.
I don't know, might be just me having neurosis. What do you think?
I am a woman and I feel threatened by other women.
Common scenarios which happen in the presence of other women:
-they will ask nasty and too personal questions right away. "What are you doing here? Are you married?"
-such questions are the sign that they feel that I am competition, hence the "are you single, married?" question
-then when I am in the middle of a conversation with a guy, they jump in and try to hijack our current conversation
Guy: yeah, so I love tennis
Me: I have recently started playing tennis once again...
The other girl: OMG!!!! (flips hair) You play tennis! (to the guy, ignoring my presence) WE must play this weekend!!!!
-or they will say something totally man hating in a man's presence (leaves me embrassed, pondering what the men think afterwards)
-or they act so needy and clingy that men verbally signal that they do not want them (also embrassing)
On Sunday I went to this classy design fair, and being dumb, asked a female to come along with me. At one stand, there was this really nice and good looking guy who tried to start up a conversation with us. She in return, totally insulted him out of the blue. That totally ruined my chances of getting to know him.
