Is it normal to only push people away that you like?

If I like someone I tend to push them away and I’m not sure how not too....
Especially love interests I get awkward when I know they have a lot of friends and I don’t, I usually pretend I do because I’m too embarrassed to say I only have 2 and don’t go out that much.

I don’t know why I push when I start to like someone... it’s not like I’ve been hurt that much either.

    Same. If I really like someone I become like a dog and become over clingy and I let them know everything about me. It tends to freak them out and they go away. I just wish people were more comfortable with honesty.

      Oh. I doubt that. I love honesty and commitment.

    You are afraid of abandonment, and most likely afraid of being hurt.

      Maybe but I also want to be loved. So it is a vicious circle

        True that. Have you had bad experiences with relationships in the past?

          I have, but it’s not like I’m ‘scared’ as such, I just get distant when I like someone, I don’t know why.

      Are you scared of being hurt?

        I guess you could say that. I would say that I really don't want to get caught up in a bunch of bullshit again to be honest.

          Ok thank you. I love love of that makes sense but you sound older so I guess maybe you've become jaded

            I'm 49. I honestly think romantic, and sexual love can be highly overrated if a person puts it above everything else. One of the WORST things a young woman can do is to drop out of college to get married.

    You have social anxiety.

    Why would you do that?
