Hi,

I'm new to the forum recently and it's something I'm trying to wrap my head around as well. It's sounds like someone(s) have hurt you in the past which is maybe part of where it all stems from? I know it can definitely cause problems as it's a similar situation to me. I find that there are triggers that will cause me/remind me to start to think about all that's happened and it then compounds itself against me.

Not sure if I can help, but it's good to get it out and off your chest. I know it made me feel better just being able to do that.
