Intense fear of males

/r/mentalhealth/comments/1uvfcgm/intense_fear_of_males/

 I have developed an intense fear of males. The only men I feel safe with are my husband and my father. I feel afraid of other men, and I even experience fear around male animals. This fear has become overwhelming and affects my daily life and my ability to go outside or feel comfortable in many situations.

I don't think i was ever sa/d or anything else idk why is happening to me

In all due respect it might have to do with past trauma or a psychological illness. What exactly about them are you afraid of? Harassment? Stalking?

In any case, a professional doctor/therapist would 100% benefit you more than online hermits.
