Posted by degenerate_ingenuePerhaps you dont want to be exposed. Fear, fear of the unknown. The fear of appearing the fool and perhaps he won't like what he sees. Once your confidence within yourself grows it will happen less. Don't be afraid to show the real you, if they can't accept you for you, then they aren't right for you anyways.
I'm noticing a problem that is slowly increasing in my life. I have extremely flighty behavior in relationships. my interests are vast and sporadic. everyone has me curious about them (unless they're taken because I don't cross any lines- not in my moral values). I am really in a crossover between wanting someone but when I am close to getting them I just run. I don't want to be around them but at the same time I do. it's very difficult. every time I try getting close to someone I hide. it's annoying and definitely something I personally want to work on, but it's almost a natural response. it's the worst. does anyone else have similar reactions?
my friends invited me over and they told me they invited the guy I was interested in, and I just felt like I needed to leave. they made me stay of course, and I did but I was at odds with myself. the odd thing is I do like him. it's very hard to explain and very strange to even express, but it is definitely interesting to deal with. I see people able to fully commit and just enjoy it, and I wish I had that same sureness about myself.

You're probably just going to meet a fun partner next. Not necessarily someone who's relationship material. Just someone willing to dominate you.
Flighty? Planes.

Posted by degenerate_ingenueIt's strange but I get exactly what you are saying. I see you've mentioned previously in other posts that you're a Scorpio and I'm a libra with a Scorpio ascendant and I totally get the feeling. For me it's to do with fear of things not going well or me getting hurt. Being vulnerable. It's almost as though I play out scenarios in my head and then start to recoil a little. I'm not sure if it's the same thing for you but I do understand what you mean.

Posted by justagirlI haven't been on the computer in ages! I wanted to reply from a computer. It was taking too long on my phone, and I am not patient typing on it haha. What you said though. Entirely on point, especially the parts in bold. This guy does accept me for me even on my crusty days when I look like I just rolled out of bed with my hair poofy and crazy with no makeup on. The last guy I was interested in was a Taurus...who was very much the opposite. The last day I saw him, I had been running late for work and everything but he asked me to come over. I told him I had no time to go home but I would come. He had bailed on me the night before because he was tired, but I was all dressed up and looking nice that day. So I go over there in my work clothes and no makeup on...two hours (if that) go by, and he tells me what a turn off I am because I didn't do my hair, makeup, wear perfume, get dressed up, dropped my phone one time on accident, and had a messy car (I have three jobs and go to school full time so I have literally no time to clean it almost), and my nose was a little red because I had a cold. It made me realize how surface-oriented he was. he didn't care anything about the insidePosted by degenerate_ingenuePerhaps you dont want to be exposed. Fear, fear of the unknown.

Least that's my take and experince with this exact thing. Took me time and growing and aging to see what it was.click to expand

I was very quiet. I even stayed a few extra minutes. After awhile of awkward silence because I didn't know how to respond, I quietly said "I think I'm going to go home now" and he just said okay, and I walked myself out.click to expand

Posted by justagirlthat does make sense though. it's definitely something I want to work on. overall this Scorpio season has been boding me well. the taurus situation ended quite some time ago, but I suppose mentally it left some thoughts. it makes me very aware of everything. it is kind of strange that someone can be so accepting of me for being me. it's nice and also strange. my sag mars keeps all interesting, but naturally I am pretty in search of something deeper with all of my Scorpio energy. I am trying to become LESS flighty, but it is almost like a naturally conditioned response. it's really weird. there are some days where i am totally comfortable around him and other days when i want to be alone and away from him. it's so hard to even explain.Posted by degenerate_ingenueGive me his number i am going to go kick his ass!Posted by justagirlLOL no I did not 😢

What a douche. Please do not let how he treated you, play on your insecurites, which is also part of this entire thing.
Not saying that to be hurtful, but your last post about the guy waking up and not liking you is 100% insecurites. A person should never look to another for self value. Again i can relate, i did it for nnay years. i still slip into it sometimes, but i can usually see it when it happens.

Posted by killerwhalemoonThat is quite parallel to my experience. my last "serious" relationship ended in 2011. From there I became more numb as you describe. I still take hits from the occasional rejection, but some short relationships just left me completely indifferent to their endings. One guy said that he just kind of lost interest, I said okay and moved on the next day. At first I had that weird..."dropping" sensation (if you know what I'm talking about) when he said that. Then when I took it in and processed it, I was matter-of-fact about it and moved forward.
I have been really flighty sense i went through hell in a few relationships. I went from getting cheated on to being led on for a year to being lied to and dumped because i went to a rave with a gf. Its all seemed shoved together. Ever sense all that ive been numb inside until i got feelings for my cuddle buddyf but i havent spoken to him for a week because i have feelings. I dont know what to do with them honestly. Guess ive toughy myself the importance of not involving or expressing emotions when they never mean anything to those crappy guys.
Ive been thinking about running. Everytime i do i feel it in my heart. The thought of spending more time leaving feelings in the dust sounda thrilling. Im a sagitarius mars.




Posted by justagirlI love that analogy! that is so true. I can definitely see that. love love and love. we are magnificent 😄
Ever read up on wild horses? They are beautiful magnificent creatures that will run along side you but if you try to cage them or corner them they bolt?
Think about how that applies 🙂
