Worth Exploring!: It sounds like you've identified an obstacle in your life - one that might interfere with your ability to have truly satisfying, close relationships. I'd suggest exploring this further. Find a psychologist you can connect with ... Someone to help you explore your experience & trace its roots. Some people are better at reading social cues than others and there may be some skills you can boost.
