I do this by default when trying to establish relationships with people and my track record is not good.

Though believe it or not, sometimes it does not turn people away!

Isn't it super cool when you put people off by repeatedly expressing how grateful you are that they opted to talk to you and what a great person they are yea

And then you get to feel embarrassed for being so effusive! Who needs emotional regulation anyway?

    It is such crap that actually feeling your feelings that way is so stigmatised...

    🥲

    And it’s such an easy problem to solve in theory (find people like you), but I’m starting to think finding people like “you” is harder when you’re different from the average

    Hm, almost like there would be less people different from a majority "average" lea-think

    I have had to look a really long time to find anyone remotely similar to me which is annoying af
