    Hello anita

    Its so hard for me to accept things that i cant change..feels really bad and hopeless.

    U are right on what u said, we can only calm others to a degree. Cant be responsible for them or them for us..

    Yes i think thats what i do.

    I would just make the other person a little upset/angry but jokingly, nothing too serious, or spark some light/fun jealousy, but not in a toxic way.

    Thats how i felt like and i dont understand why. The truth is, i did feel like she leaned heavily on me regarding her well-being at times, like she depends on me for her happiness and everyday mood, we became too codependant/enmeshed? what is the word i am not sure.

    We are the same age yeah..I have the same experience as you..

    Exactly, that’s how my mind started perceiving our connection after that moment, like an obligation. I know it could be because of emotional burnout but idk for sure yet.
    I think i started feeling like i am responsible for her feelings after that and it pushed me away.

    Idk if that translates to fear? I didnt feel conscious fear, just a sense that now i “have to” response in a way to match that or that i am “responsible” for her in a way. Could this be it?

    🙂

    I feel comfortable giving and giving to my SO, rather than receiving. I feel “awkward” when i receive love/things and sometimes i feel pressure to “perform” or “give back” something that i can’t. How would u describe me fearing closeness? I mean on which point?
    Chaos keeps me from being bored haha

    Hey anita, thank you very much for taking time to search all those things 🙂

    Yes, i did have my mother up to the age of 22, but i cant find the connection between her and my female “partners”.

    I don’t feel pressured at all dont worry, i just really can’t correlate my parents to my partners. I suppose it has an immense effect but i still can’t connect situations of the past to my present ones (for example the one with this girl).
    I make a lot of excuses for my parents and for most people and their behaviours, i know that. I always see their side of the story and be quick to validate them, often leading to neglecting my own feelings and side.I feel like “the bigger person”.
    Chaos feels so natural to me and i often thrive in chaotic work environments, i noticed that in most of my relationships, when things flow easy and calm for too long, i instigate some “drama” to keep the spark alive. Not anything serious though.

    Hello anita

    I dont sleep well in the past 2 months but im trying, i hope u did!

    Hmm, i seem to enjoy emotionally available partners so far, unavailable cause me to lose interest instantly (if it’s in the beginning)

    My sisters are younger so they didn’t experience her like i did. Things got a bit calmer after but they still got into fights with her, nothing like me tho. I honestly can’t connect the two (my experience with her and me growing up)

    I felt responsible as in, not anger them so they won’t fight each other/me.

    Oh that was kinda the same for me with mine. I was always alert regarding her feelings, not wanting to upset her and so on.

    I really cannot consciously relate my mother to any of my romantic interests. Its really weird because people say that u seek in relationships the kind of relationship u had with ur mother but i really dislike conflicts..

    I can’t remember if i ever felt like my love for her was a burden, was yours for your mother? How would you describe it?

    Yes i’d wish that too, but i guess we had karma from previous lives haha

    At times i also felt responsible for my parents feelings.

    I am off to sleep aswell, talk soon 🙂

    I really want to feel again, i am not quite sure yet but i am exploring.

    Hey anita
    No no im not leaving yet haha, if i do so it will be for me to clear my head of all this 🙂
    Tell me, what exactly do u want me to explain further?

    Yes i think that’s exactly how i feel like. When people make me responsible for their feelings i dont feel that good.

    But i didnt feel it consciously, only a little bit perhaps. Do u think it was all a fantasy that blew off for me?

    Hi anita

    Yes because of the connection i felt and i can feel she’s an honest and sensitive person. Even though i started wondering if i have ADHD (because many of my symptoms match) and combined with an insecure attachment style, i got in this predicament.

    No no, it’s a fear in my mind, i think for the most part i was great to her, its just my own insecurities that get the best of me.

    Because i know it’s my thing to “fix” and i feel bad when i turn their love down. I accept it and move on. I think i feel the same with you 🙂

    Hey anita

    I honestly cannot recall any of this about me (my feelings and trust being broken), i think its mostly a fear of being inadequate and not let her down. I was so anxious about hurting her, she felt precious to me.

    Yeah he hugs and kisses us (me and my sisters) all the time. I know many people would long for that, but sadly i cringe with affection. I only want it from my girlfriend and maybe a little bit from some friends.

    @anita

    I didn’t pay much attention to that at first, because i am romantic and i like those things. But the truth is, i have only known how to be the one that is more invested in a relationship, never experienced the opposite. And with her i felt like i am “responsible” for something fragile (her feelings and trust) and i can’t handle such pressure/responsibility (responsibilities drive me away like crazy) because eventually i was afraid i would let her down. Also that being the one that invests more, kinda lets me “control” the situation a bit and if things go south i can’t be blamed. I know it sounds nonsense but i think this is how i feel in a way.

    Weirdly enough, i didn’t feel cringe with my mother/grandma hugging or kissing me. I feel it strongly now with my father (he expresses his love every day, very intensely) and when my sisters hug me, i freeze and feel like i want to push them away. They know that i have this thing so they find it funny haha.


    @Thomas168

    I have never had any issues with going all-in with the previous girls, but it has never been this deep connection like the one with the current girl. I guess going all-in includes being vulnerable with them (which was the first time i did now, never did i share my fears with anyone else). You mean like the shadow self or the inner child? I think thats what they call it. By pulling back u mean ur feelings got suppressed and u became blank/empty like me? I am glad things worked out for you, i wish i could say the same 🙂

    Could also be related with me feeling cringe/ick when anyone of my family expresses affection towards me.
