Fear over becomimg too close to others.

[Pallf]

Yeah I'm scared of making relationships that are too close for comfort. I think they're always doomed to fail. I don't know how to, you know, keep people happy and want to hang out with me.
Right now I'm pretty content to keep any friendships I have online, but I do get longings and desperation to make irl friends. And maybe date too, but dating frightens me much more.

I don't know how to keep people happy either. Always did my best for the others, yet I was always left behind.

Doesn't mean that you shouldn't try. If you like to be with other people, hang out with then, make friends, date, you should go for it.

Try and you might fail. Don't try and you will fail.

Rejection hurts. Happened to me today, not nearly my first time but it still hurts like it was the first.
But we gotta do our best. Before we ctb, we need to make sure we tried everything.

Yup, I'm scared of relationships, but I really want to be married and have a family. So I kinda have to play the stupid dating game.

All my past relationships have failed so I know better than to try again, now I actively avoid people

I'm pretty sure I have attachment issues. I can relate to what you're saying. Although close relationships are nice, they're pretty scary.

But I like what @Midgardsorm said about trying. I know it's difficult, uncomfortable, even kinda terrifying. Yet you may be surprised at the people that come into your life. There is the risk of having even more relationship-related pain when you put yourself out there, sure… But IMO it sometimes beats the pain of not trying at all.

People never stick around long enough for me to find out.

People are just disappointing and are capable of causing us a lot of pain. I am naturally introverted and I tend to avoid people these days. I have had bad experiences being close to others in the past.

I try not to make any new relationships. I don't want to hurt anyone because of my decision.

I don't have time for people. Opiates are all I need
