You should also take rejection as an opportunity in self-analysis; there is always a part of you that fails and this causes this misalignment which leads to forming a close bond with someone as damaged as you.

Too much option about anything is definitely bad. But people do not make a decision in choosing based on abundance they make a choice based on popularity (or the opposite - unpopularity but to still the same effect).

You speak about insecurities. It would be nice if you could expand on that topic.

Good post!
