I know it’s my own fault that I can’t get into a relationship. Every time I meet someone nice and there’s the potential for a relationship, I push them away or pick apart every interaction to find a red flag to cut them off. I don’t know why I do this.

Have you been hurt badly in past relationships? Sometimes it’s a self protection thing

I have been, I really only had three serious relationships and they all ended in me getting hurt some way or another

That’s wild, I’m in a very similar boat. Both with the history and the current issue. So not trying to project here but that’s my guess anyway, that it’s a protective thing

Can I ask how the past relationships ended? Was there a theme or were they all pretty different?

They were all very different. While I won’t go into details, two were because the other person intentionally hurt me and the third wasn’t intentional
