i am not talking about performance anxiety i think
it is something else
i might feel
- being close to someone = danger = EJECT EJECT EJECT
- someone i like shows she likes me = danger = PUSH PUSH PUSH her away
- i am needy therefore i will be exploited
- those who love get screwed. so i must not get close to anyone i love
- i have no support network therefore i will be badly hurt when this ends, and almost everything ends
- she does x or y, so she is not good enough, so i won’t get close to her
