Trust issues or anxiety?

miomiom

This is about the same guy in the previous question. He suffers from anxiety and depression. He pushed me away. While I was very confused he took his ex back. He said that women have rejected him his whole life and he just didn’t believe I wanted him or liked him. It’s a way of thinking he can never escape. I don’t know if this comes from anxiety, experiences or something else. I told him I still liked him and he didn’t reject me. He suggested we start by talking in a relaxed and casual way. I got the impression he isn’t thinking long term about the ex he got back with. I don’t know whether to be friends with him first and gain his trust or simply move on. Has anyone gone out with a person like him? or if you are a person like him I’d appreciate your thought.
