Maybe I just suck at relationships

I’m a romantic at heart, but I hate getting close to people now. It seems like every time I put myself in a talking stage or even enter a relationship with a man, they’re awful to me. They make fun of my appearance, my interests, and my personality. Like everything that makes me who I am is wrong. It’s painful to feel like I’m not enough for anyone. The subtle manipulation and emotional abuse is so frustrating. I know they are negging me but then they deny it and act like I’m irrational. I feel worthless, so I keep going back to these men and accepting the treatment. It's a never-ending cycle of pain and disappointment, and I don't know how much more of it I can take.

Man, this sounds really upsetting. I highly advise you understand it is not you and that you will never change them. It is human nature to want to prove yourself but you will never change these guys. They will work to break you down until you fit between their hands. That's all they seek.

Move gracefully on. I relate strongly to what you're saying and I founf that finding someone who supports you and truly will appreciate you will do you good.

Make the switch and actually go for someone who encourages, guides, and appreciates you. It will do wonders and then you'll finally grasp that for some people, everything you do is wrong. And for others, they'll like you for you :)
