Punishing myself for getting attention is something I never considered! Holy crap... one more thing to avoid trying to add to my list of insecurities. ACK!
I've got that knee jerk terror thing. I have a fear that any man who compliments me with any type of innuendo wants a sexual interaction (My rolls of fat are my first defense.) I have the whimpering that I am not worthy, all the time knowing I am absolutely adorable.
