But there is more, something about the way he looks and the way he looks at me......reminds me of something or someone way way back in my past and I just feel creeeeeepy, and ikky in my body and I can not stand being near him.
I think I am weird, strange and odd. I don't think that I respond to men very well anymore, I find that I will be talking to a man and suddenly something clicks in my head and I become weird and feel like they are after something from me, or they like me in a physical way and I become very cold and I think sometimes quite dismissive and rude.
That is so horrible of me, especially because I am sure that in reality they are not in the least bit interested in me......but my head just goes there and I become a cold standoffish person. I must come across very strangely. And then I feel like a really bad person, and worry if I'll ever be able to have a relationship again....and then I remember, I don't think I'll ever trust again in the partner relationship stakes.
I'm not sure if any of that makes sense, sorry. Just trying to understand what the heck is going on for me............

We are all slightly more complex than others. We need more reassurance or more attention. Or more of our own space. Or even the complete opposite . We need listeners and empathy. We are more cautious due to past experiences or we just over analyse things too much. You're not horrible. You're just more cautious and that is a good thing. Because you don't want to be or feel anymore hurt than is necessary. So if he wants to get to know you then he has to know the real you. Not what society expects you to be. Not some persona that others expect you to be, and not to behave how everyone else behaves. We're different and if they don't like it, then they don't deserve to know us.
