If you have regretted it, what did you do?
If you naturally push people away and don't want anyone to get to know you, is there a reason for it?
Yep. Pushed away my best friend. I went through a depression after a breakup, and I lived in a fog for the next year. When I came out, I was determined to do away with relationships that were too close. Our relationship was a casualty, and i haven't talked to her in 5 years. We legit loved each other and brought each other out of some bad times, so I regret not being there for her.
She was like clingy and a stalker but now I look back and she was my only friend and I love her now but it's not possible she liked me so hard back then but now I know I can't be in that place so I stand on the side and it breaks my heart seeing her get hurt and I can't help her
i push people away all the time. its just my defense mechanism to keep myself from getting hurt. and i always regret it cos we could've been friends. and i bitch all the time because i have no friends when really its my fault. so yeah, its an ongoing spiral for me
I only regret doing it once, every other time I don't really care about. This one time though, it was the stupidest thing I've ever done and I'd do anything to go back in time and change it but sadly life doesn't work like that
Yes, I pushed him away. It hurts me to see him now. Even though we both hurt each other I was the one who pushed him away. I still think about him but I’ve learned to let good things go.
I was pushed away recently. I don't know why. I was the best girlfriend;loyal, honest, trustworthy, caring, not clingy, understanding, loving etc
Guys are terrible and are idiots.

Of the 3 serious relationships that I had, two of the women who broke up with me told me that they regretted letting me go literally after a few months after breaking it off. I have never been there one to initiate a break up, so I've never regretted letting someone go.
I do that to everyone and I really can't help it. I've regretted it, but I've had the chance of talking to them again and the same thing just ends up happening.
I don't think I've ever pushed anyone away, at least not knowingly or purposely.
I have regretfully lost someone because of my own inaction before. Which is probably what pushed that person away.
If I ever push anyone away from getting to know me, it's because I've had and a lot of loss. I've witnessed real good friends, brothers in arms, severely injured or killed in action, and that kind of thing puts a toll on person. It's the kind of thing you never really unsee.
I also have a relationship /marriage that fell apart, she found someone outside of me, so my ability to trust is broken.
If I'm slow to let anyone close to me it's because of these things. I afraid of losing more, so it's a protective mechanism.
He knew how I felt about him, I don't know why he said those things. One day on the phone I asked why he felt that way and he said he didn't want to talk about it. Actually the last time we spoke wasn't even good because I felt he was being controlling in regards to our friendship. He used me and lead me on for months. Maybe that's him simply trying to get rid of me.
I don't want this to sound wrong or mean, because I understand that you probably still like him, but it sounds to me like he might have an underlying issue he needs to find a way to address. Possibly with professional help.
Obviously I'm not aware of the whole situation so I'm just speaking as an outsider.
I did push away someone I loved... but I don't regret it.
Cz I feel it made their life less difficult.
I wish him well :)
I used to push everyone away and regret it. That's the nature of a self-saboteur.
I'm not talking about a break up but I've pushed "friends" away before and no I do not regret it. If I pushed people aways it was for a reason.
Yes. Pushing people away when they get too close is unfortunately a key feature of my personality 😕
I don't regret it, but I do feel bad; I want to be a bit more nice.
Yeah. There was this girl from my middle school who wanted me so bad and I just completely ignored her. I was so stupid. I've learned a lot since.
Nope !! Cos I always had that moment where I realised whatever I lost I was granted something way better in exchange of them :)
Yup not only once. But I dnt really regret it. I just miss the time we spent together.
I did that to a lot of people in high school, but I don't really think I regret it
Nope. I've never had to push anyone away.
