She doesn't act caring towards me anymore, just indifferent. It makes me so sad because I ruined something really wonderful because my issues were getting in the way.
And this happens literally all the time...I always hurt all the people who matter to me...

That stuff happens. Overreactions happen. Life goes on. Don't give up running because you trip. You got a lot out of that relationship, and are still getting something it sounds like- it's not all or nothing, though it's not perfect. If you worry about your issues getting in the way, consider that by holding yourself back from relationships, they're getting 100% in the way, versus just somewhat in the way when you have relationship ruptures. The good and bad parts of these relationships will give you things, support *and* challenge. Both important.
