But I realize that I will end up alone if I keep acting like this.

Maybe part of the problem is because you didn't have a close relationship with your parents so you don't know how to be close to others. I grew up being emotionally neglected so I can relate to what you're saying, and think it's why I'm a loner. I'm an introvert but am overwhelmed by extremely close relationships.
A lot of people are like this so unless it's something you feel a great need to change, try to make peace with it.
