Anxious around men

OK I have this "problem" and I don't really know how to deal with it. But I'm really anxious around men. I don't trust them at all, and would rather not speak to them at all, which is a problem, if I am having a job interview or something like that. I just get really quiet and almost shy (but not really) giving short answers and all that jazz.

I don't trust easily, in general, but I don't trust men like at all. I trust two men in my life: my dad and my grandpa.

I know I don't trust me, and experience tells me that they are not trustworthy and they wanna hurt me. I was bullied by boys only in school, and a guy once tried to strangle me, so I think my "problem" with men started there. But it has only become worse over the years. I don't know how to share anything with men.

I can't have male doctors, therapist or anything like that, bc I can't talk to them, which leads us to the fact that I have gotten a male contact person that I am meant to talk about how I feel and such with, but I really can't. I know I have only "had" him for a week now (met him three times), but I have a hard time talking to him at all. Normally I request walks or something where I don't have to talk about how I feel (like grocery shopping), but I kinda can't keep that up for the next year.

I DO have a female contact person too, a new one as I have moved, but I feel like it's much easier to talk to her. Mainly bc she is a woman. And I don't know... I just keep thinking about all the horrible thing men can do and/or have done to me, and I just want him out of my apartment. And I don't know how to request another female contactperson, as I don't want to give them trouble or more work, just bc I'm weird :S

What do one do?
