To always sabotage friendships

[Passivhaus]

I feel like I don't have any close friends in my life. However, whenever I get close to someone or spend a significant amount of time with someone I always end up feeling irritated by them or disliking them and almost sabotaging any potential friendship.

What is wrong with me?

Do you actually want close friends? Are you introverted?

I feel like I enjoy the idea of having friends but don't like the reality.

I’m a bit like this, particularly when it comes to romantic relationships. I’m rather introverted and I think I’m just quite easily irritated.

I am in the same position. I am quite extroverted and really want more friends, but when I make new friends they always start to annoy/irritate me or I just feel disappointed. I know it must be me because it keeps happening, but I don’t really understand why.

Wow! This is me! I feel like I’m so used to my own company I have very low tolerance for other people’s ‘quirks’ / annoyingness.

I am like this too, OP

My thinking is very black and white. It takes a teeny thing to tip someone into the 'black'... and I seem to hate them for ages.

Maybe you guys expect too much from friendships/people and then feel disappointed when people don't match to the impossible expectations you have.
