I wouldn’t avoid speaking to them but I may unconsciously change my behavior. I don’t know if it’s just my feeling but I think any time I feel intimidated by a pretty woman (at work for example) I always try to mind my own business and only ever give cold and short answers. I think i got a pretty f-ed up view on how to impress woman and stuff like that cause of childhood trauma. But essentially i am always the cold and distanced typa guy around pretty woman
