A weird feeling, and also, I think I have a problem.

Submitted Oct. 11, 2021, 4 p.m. by LostSoul1911

I rarely fall in love, I've had a crush on four guys in my whole life. It's like, I'm not saying I don't find random people attractive, but that's all, I don't feel things for people just because they're pretty. I'm not like friends who would get into a relationship with someone they just met because they like each other, or another friend who kisses anyone she likes and can, and feels totally fine doing it.

From the four people I've liked, three of them liked me back and every time I find my crush or someone likes me is like a warning sign to scape and cut the talking with them. I used to think my reaction was because I was too young and just not ready, but now I'm almost 20 and I think there could be something wrong with me.

My whole life, people has told me I'm too innocent, too good, too sweet. I tried to change that, it didn't work. What I'm starting to wonder is, what if I'm like this because of my past trauma? like, if somehow there's a part of me that didn't grow to protect myself.

I have daydreamed of a cute relationship when I like someone, but I have never let that happen.

I don’t think this is the sub for this sort of post. Maybe check out r/fearfulavoidant

oh, shit, I didn't know about this, thank you a lot. I mentioned this situation to a psychologist for about 3 years and she never even gave a name to it, stupid therapy. (I'm venting today, sorry)

I cannot blame your therapist for not putting a label on it. There is harm in pathologizing oneself (hence this whole sub lol) but just keep in mind that the label can simply be used as a way to better understand oneself and how to build a strategy towards improving yourself

You haven't related your issue with being detrans. How has that affected your thinking do you suppose? Therapy should be helping, but it sounds like it's probably time to find a new therapist who can really help you.

I related it to my past trauma. Yeah, going to a psychologist again this friday.
