Is it normal that i don't know how to be in a relationship?

I've never really been in a real relationship. I've had flings but generally I become distant and get very anxious and the flings never become anything other than a fling. I've never been able to let myself be comfortable with someone I'm into. I get scared and leave and even though I crave companionship with another person I get petrified at the thought. I'm so jealous of others and their ability to jump into a relationship when I'm scared at the thought. I'm a very loving person and I want that special someone to give all my love to, & someone to love me and care for me, but I run away before they get the chance.

    Perhaps you should begin with a friendship. No labels like girl or my. Just a friend you enjoy spending time with.
    Don't push for or look for anything more. If something more develops in time, it might be such a gradual change you don't even notice it and it won't freak you out.

    Being in a relationship is like a buttplug.

        It's fun to experience it, but it gets annoying after awhile... but you still don't really want to get rid of it. It's the kind of think you don't just talk about with everyone. It brings great pleasure and pisses you off just a little. It's something you have to get used to, something you learn more about the longer you're with it.

    No one really knows how to be in a relationship because everyone is different.

    Just go with the flow and do what makes you feel happy as long as it is legal.
