My whole life (29 years long) I have pushed people away when they get too close . . . whenever I start to care too much. For example, I'll have a thing for someone and as long as he's unatainable and just a nice idea, I'm completely enamored. I've had crushes that felt like love. But the moment the feeling becomes mutual, I get scared or the feelings will immediately dissipate. Worse, I usually intensly dislike the person I used to revere. I've only had two serious relationships, for the most part I'm just content to have a fantasy relationship. I know this must mean I have intimacy issues, but I don't understand where they came from and why I'm always so much happier with the idea of something than the reality. Please help. I am post tramatic stress, but haven't gone to therapy since I was diagnosed. I believe I may have some kind of attachment disorder or separation anxiety. I don't know . . .
