Is it normal that i disappear on people to avoid being close.

I have a defence mechanism where I create a wall when I think people (boys mostly) are getting close to me. By that I mean, delete them on every social media, ignore them, block them, disappear like a ghost. It is unfair but it's my go-to combat move. I am fine with being friends but when it progresses or there is a hint that it might reach a higher level I freak. I don't want to even want to talk to them. I cannot maintain friendship after that. I feel bad as I have done it to 5 guys. I just avoid getting too close or even to that friend level with any guys as it's not my intention to hurt them. Most of my guy friends are gay.

    Hmm... this sounds similar to myself. But you can't allow yourself to do this all the time in every situation where someone is getting close. It can be hurtful and there is other ways of getting your point across that you'd rather just be friends then completely dropping off the face of the earth.

    Isn't that what your supposed to do when you're not interested in someone? At last you're not leading them on.

    Basically, out could be your defense mechanism telling you that you don't want to be stuck with any of these dudes.
