I just met a new person recently who I'd like to be friends with.  I noticed that I pushed her away in very subtle ways (not texting back, being kind of cold/standoffish).  I do this as a test, subconsciously.  I don't want to be earnest and then get rejected.  She obviously has a high threshold for being treated like shit because she still wants to hang out with me.  

Then I realized - this is why I am only friends with fucked up people.  Healthy people won't put up with my crap, or they read me loud and clear and walk away.

Oh dear.  Anyone else similar?  I am catching little things like this all the time now.
