It kind of makes sense.
When I was younger and a guy and I would totally committ, I’d stray off eventually.
I kind of see why I’d do that. At the time I didn’t realize it, but I do now.
I start freaking out.
My mind starts racing and I get such bad anxiety.
In order to put my mind at ease, I’d make myself not care and talk to other people. Flirt here and there, feel powerful…
I’d feel powerful knowing that in my own mind, I had my shit under control.
That way if they left me, I could hold my head high and think, “Well, whatever anyways. Their loss. I never needed them anyways. I have so many other people I could be with.”
It was a non-stop cycle for about 3 years of my life. I’d jump from boyfriend to boyfriend and to a few of them - that was my mindset.
Now, when I turned 19 - everything changed. I had a boyfriend I really liked and was as smart as me. He just knew the games I’d play. So, he went through everything I owned and basically made it IMPOSSIBLE for me to talk to ANYONE. Boys or girls. So then I only knew him..and he left me. Lovely.
Then I moved in with some dude. Yeah. Uh.
He was tall, cute, and funny….that’s the only reason I liked him. But, I stayed committed. But in my own mind… I just told myself… “Ok, well if he leaves me..there’s nothing too emotional to this relationship anyways. Oh well.”And that’s exactly how that happened. He left me, and I was finally single. I stayed single for 7 months, and then I met Luke.
The first four months, I told myself, “It’s whatever. He lives in another state. If he cheats on me…oh well i guess. If it’s not meant to be, it’s not meant to be.”
Now I’ve been here for almost a month and I’m thinking, “Holy shit….”
And that’s it. lol. No other thoughts.
So now I’m feeling complete and total anxiety and I’m freaking in my own mind.
As soon as he calls me though, I’m going to put on the cool..calm…collective show.
Sometimes, I just think I have too much stress and confusion to ever date anyone. I feel bad for people that have had to put up with me and my freaking out.
Now, I’m in a committment and the last thing I want to do is stray off.
