Well, I don't think it's an unusual way to think @BornTired1, put it that way, and if it has been your reality, then there's really no need to doubt that.

My main problem is meeting people at all. And then when I finally do make a connection and start getting to know them better, I begin discovering ways about them - that weren't apparent in the beginning - that make me wish I didn't begin getting to know them in the first place. Because it means I now have to dissolve the relationship in a way that won't hurt their feelings - if that's even possible. I'm in that predicament now with two people I met in a support group type setting.

Yeah, it's very tiring, BornTired1. Very tiring.
