Overthinking and traumas

Hi, kinda want an advice. I always try to overthink things that won't possibly happen. I have commitment issues or maybe this is abandonment issue, family issue (not sure fr)

2 years ago I met someone online and won't say we clicked instant. We set (kinda) boundaries and he told me that he's not sure that it will turn to serious relationship. So we on a getting to know each other stage. But the thing is I'm vert ubfair to him, he asks about something about me stories to share with him and all about my family etc. I'm not very direct on answering him I actually don't know what to say and shy to tell him. I have a boring life so I'm afraid I might bore him but really i just dont know where to start and what to tell him. He even told me that I'm too 'mysterious' and 'private'.

I have traumatic childhood life. As the 'courtship' went by so does my anxiety. I want to date with marriage in mind and not just for the sake of 'dating'. Overthinking that he might be hurt me emotionally or physically or that marriage won't be possible or what if work will end can i provide our needs or if we will have family soon I might hurt our children (things like I might hurt them emotionally without knowing that will make them hate me) I want to open up to him but I can't the fear and 'what ifs' eats me.

I'm a shut-in btw not really shut in just kinda. School life revolves around school and home, didn't finished college but I'm working from home right now (that's why I'm afraid of working and providing since its a contractual thing) so home is just my destination taking vacation if there's budget for that.

Back to him, I saw my album about our games together. It took me two years to realize how selfish I am to him. I liked him, I just can't face my fears head on he is a good guy. Theres a time i won't feel anything around me then there's a time i want to embrace everything around me.

I'm aware that I'm toxic, back then there's a time i want to talk most of the time i wont at all always ignores him. I really miss him but I can't hold him anymore. I emotionally drained him and pushed him away. I don't know if love is possible for someone who have a lot of issues.

The difference between being right and being understood

My boyfriend and I are 28. We’ve been together for about 1.5 years and recently moved in together. He’s a pretty patient and easygoing person (Type B) whereas I’m more particular (Type A). Of course there are two sides to every trait, and my Type A nature benefits us in some ways too. Like all couples, we have differences in perspective or preference. When this happens, he will usually say something like “I disagree (with your perspective) but fine.” I tend to push the issue in an attempt to get him to understand where I’m coming from. This escalates the disagreement into a fight because he perceives it as me trying to be “right”. I truly just want to be understood (and I want to understand where he’s coming from) so I’m looking for more of a dialogue whereas he avoids conflict and just wants it to be over as quickly as possible. His general approach is “agree to disagree” but that doesn’t make sense to me when it’s an issue that will keep coming up and requires compromise. I’m n...

My (27f) gf (27f) is getting tired of me not sharing intimate/ personal info about me

I’ve always been extremely private and introverted. We have more than a year together and we’ve been living together for like 6 months, we get along pretty good and I’m really in love with her, however I can not seem to open up... and I can tell it’s frustrating to her by the way she tells me it bothers her that she feels she’s the only one committed and the one that’s always sharing... At this point I don’t even know if it is that I’ve gotten too used to it, to the point I’ve became lazy to talk about myself or give any genuine personal opinion... it sucks, really, I need to communicate better... Where do I start? Tl;dr: I can’t be completely intimate with my gf and its frustrating her, I need to communicate better because I really love her... where to start?

My (23M) girlfriend (25F) relationship is confusing to me. I might be the problem, or maybe we are just incompatible.

I met my girlfriend after a few serious breakups that led me to change both intentionally and unintentionally over a few years. For better and for worse. She had just gotten out of an engagement with a verbally and physically abusive man who had a cocaine problem. We have been together about 8 months now. We hit it off and spent a lot of time together but she began to push our relationship as if there were a time clock for milestones. I was pressed beyond my comfort zone and went with it because of my affection for her. My living situation fell apart and I lost a few thousand dollars to shit roommates right around the time she and I met and she offered to let me stay with her. I agreed with some resistance. I pay for food, help her with bills, and throw money toward rent while trying to get back on my feet. As long as we have been together she has gotten more possessive, angry, and irrational. She is dealing with shit from her engagement and I feel shes looking for a level of seriou...
