Closing doors quickly

I've noticed a newish behaviour, doubt I had it a few years ago.. I feel like everytime I get to know someone new I'm looking for reasons to close the door on them, quick as possible.

It doesn't make any sense really and I do it automatically. I think somehow it's going to make them respect me more, because I "respect" myself by shutting them out when they "Misbehave" and it's a prominent behaviour online, rather than offline where I'm just shy and withdrawing. I can easily tell someone I love them lots one day and the next I can tell them to go away forever and block them. I would never ignore someone however, I always say what I "mean". Does anyone feel like they behave in a similar way? Do I need help? :confused: Sure, I been hurt a few times but I have a very social job that I'm good at.

I would never be able to go back with an ex, simply cos I've told them off so much that they're scared of me.. not that I want to. My ex best friends are also ex best friends, and that's harder because I do miss them at times but I don't really know how to change my behaviour, I feel like they see me as some cold creature

Sounds like you've been hurt and you're putting up a lot of walls to protect yourself. Opening up is always a risk, but without taking such a risk you'll find it much harder to find the right person.
