I'm more socially awkward and do better with one or two people rather than a group.

I, as well as others I know, feel very uncomfortable around people I don't know. I don't like being the center of attention unless it is with people I know and I. small groups. Is this anthropophobia?

kronik, Xenophobia has deep evolutionary roots in the sense that "fear of others" was a defensive measure that not only protected the group, but strengthened individual bonds and group dynamics. Look at what has happened to every group or tribe who welcomed "the other" with open arms: first, slavery, then extinction.

xenophobia 101. but it's not related to racism, like the Lefties say. it's being wary of strangers.

What women model for their daughters is what they will believe about men, relationships, and themselves. If your actions show her that women are strong, confident humans who are equal to men in every way, you teach her to trust herself to become all the person she can be, all by herself.
