Here's the order you chose to handle things!
In a moment of crisis, you took care of the burning Rice first, opened the Bell next, checked the important Phone call, and pushed the crying Baby to the very end.
"The person who blocked intimacy with perfect standards."
You look at standards before the relationship. The problem is that you scan people before anything even starts, and the moment they feel below your standard, you shut down your emotions too.
I always evaluated first so I would not get hurt. The problem is that the more I kept choosing perfection, the less I was able to get close to anyone.
Your Love
You are not just a picky person.
You are someone who filters people through perfect standards first in order to prevent disappointment and pain.
The Pattern You Repeat
You try to finish the judgment before the emotion begins.
You quickly scan tone, attitude, level, pace, taste, and lifestyle, checking first whether they meet your standards.
Even small mismatches do not slide by.
Even subtle discomfort becomes an immediate deduction.
At first, this can look like discernment.
But as it repeats, people stop being people and start becoming objects of assessment.
The more used you become to allowing people in only if they pass and shutting down the moment they do not, the safer you may feel, but also the more isolated you become.
At that point, your caution starts reading less like insight and more like blockage.
The Choice You Regret
You may have been trying not to meet the wrong person.
You may not have wanted to waste time on flimsy relationships or face disappointment after your feelings had already grown.
At the time, you may have believed that higher standards meant wiser choices.
But later, the regret becomes unmistakable.
I did not only avoid bad people.
I also shut out the possibility that imperfect intimacy could grow into something real.
MDPL’s biggest regret is cutting off, by your own hand, the opportunity to learn the intimacy that can only be built inside a relationship.
