Everytime I feel I'm falling for someone I sabotage it, get scared, ready to run... my brain is like nooooooooo! What are you doing? You're gonna get hurt... quick detour!

At this point either I ruin it or I end up falling and be like fuck it I can't hide it no more...

Anybody else as a female experience this?

Or men did your significant other confess this is what happened?

Yea of course...you have to be pretty special to make me feel anything In the first place...

For me .....its just a feeling of being outta control

Being vulnerable sucks ass ....

Trusting people sucks ass...

Being rejected sucks ass...

Rejecting someone else sucks ass...

It could be attachment avoidant style . Fear of commitment or close relationships because in your childhood your parents, in this case the male/father figure, was distant or detached.

I'm guilty of pulling back when getting close to someone romantically, but I come back. I'm also not prone to committing. I've had many guys want to start up something and pursuing hard, only to give up because their affections weren't being reciprocated. But I see no point in giving anyone a chance if I'm not ready or remotely interested. If I don't feel attracted to you initially, you being with me had a z e r o chance

Yes I have abandonment issues... my father was very much detached... I relate to this.

I feel the age we live in in general makes it harder to create a true committed bond with other humans. We are so use to instant gratification thanks to technology that the second we feel we won't have it our way it must be a negative thing. It's kind of sad really. Humans always depended on each other to make things work which made a level of respect and need for each other. Now that technology does pretty much everything we want other humans aren't really considered as a trustworthy investment.

Okay, if that is the problem then therapy might be better than discussing it online. Because we are talking trauma, unconscious deeply rooted fears, behavior and thinking patterns etc. Get offline, this is too big for

an online forum.

Very interesting analogy! And yes this makes total sense! All of it this is such a good summarization of WHY we feel this way. ❀️

It explains like, all her behavior though, especially the "starved for male attention" bit.
