Is it normal to push people away?

8 Comments

An old buddy of mine once advised that if you keep pushing people away, one day you will push someone important away and he wont come back... These words ring in my head often, especially now that I have said goodbye to that special someone I was involved in a long distance relationship with...
Whenever I become upset with someone or confused, I prefer to distance myself from them and even though I cherish my memories and replay them over in my mind, I am still able to separate from those I love quickly. Do any of you think this is a normal reaction? Am I just not connecting enough or am I too lazy to continue the connection?

    Every relationship, romantic or otherwise, goes though a patch where you're just kind of bored and you kind of want to leave. You have to try and work though those. When you do trust me, it gets a whole lot better than it was before.

    Its normal theres plenty of people who do it.

    No worrys i can speak from personal experience that once evryones pushed away youll be all alone and wont have to push anyone away again.

    Though by now i realize i would love to have a do over and just work on my processing skills.

    No guys. There are bored patches but that's not the reason I leave my relationships. If anything I'm the boring one! About trust... I don't trust anyone totally because that's just setting yourself up for disappointment, so it's true... I have major trust issues.

    Its normal human behaviour to get bored in a relationship...no one knows that better than me.But luckily there are some people u meet whether as friends or as gf/bf that give you the urge to fight to sustain that relationship.
