I'm pretty sure a lot of us can relate to at least parts of that. I hope you'll stick around, keep looking at how you experience relationships, and keep posting about it.
Sounds as if your current view of relationships is that (among other things) they're something to protect yourself from. If that's what you need to be doing right now to keep yourself safe, I don't think it's distorted at all. If, in time, you were to decide that there were more important things than protecting yourself, you might then want to call your present outlook "distorted". Right now, though, that would be getting ahead of yourself.
