Do you think that pushing people away is a way of protecting them? And, if you do... from what?
My opinion? I do see it as a way of protecting someone else. Because... if you've messed up so much before, and you've caused someone so much hurt and pain... you could actually meet someone that you really gave a damn about. And, you wouldn't want to put them through what you've been through.. or what you've put other people thorugh..
Especially if you still carry baggage from your past. And, I do carry baggage from mine. Don't string people along, it's just dumb.
On another note, I'd like to say.. if you have someone, and they love you. AND, you're still out lookin' for more? Don't let me know. I'll just punch you in the face, because that's what you'll truly deserve. You have NO idea how much that fucks somebody up. People can be so stupid.
.. I do not consider myself a person. I am human. =/ And, these are the days of our lives.
