I've heard the term, didn't really know what it meant. I recently reflected a lot on myself and the relationships I've went through and did some searching and came up with this.

It seems to show everything I do. Trying to guess what people are going to do. It takes me a while to open up and talk to people. I can never just shoot the shit with someone I don't know. I never thought I was one with self-esteem issues but it all feels so engraved in my way of thinking. I don't know many people and tend to be a loner in some ways, but when in a relationship I always seem to have same sort of moods that my partner goes through even if it has nothing to do with me. The whole thing just scares me and I want to get rid of it. I think it would change my life dramatically if I could figure out what exactly the core issue is. I remember when my relationships were going well I would be so motivated and happy and doing things to better myself. Now I just feel empty.
Has anyone had to deal with this before and what did you do to overcome it? I feel like it hinders me to be really truly happy and content with myself and being alone. Hinders my social networking as well.
