21 Reasons You’ll Be Forever Alone

13.

To me being alone doesn’t hurt as badly as being rejected.

I’m too scared to voice my feelings for fear of scaring the person away or that they will not reciprocate them.

15.

I feel as though I inconvenience my friends/family/partner. As in I need to ask them if im being at all being a nuisance to know that im not. Ive also always had a habit of trying to end conversations/general hangouts/etc early as I think I’m bothering the person and that they’re too nice to say so.

Broke off an engagement because I realized how selfish I am. I can’t have a child because I like to get up and go. Wouldn’t be fair. Same for a wife. I may want you there at times, but other times I need space. So I’d rather just have space more often. And Netflix.
