I feel like I cannot control my emotions...?

I get so insecure, jealous, sad, and it happens with every serious relationship Im in...What is it? Is it possibly a defense mechanism because I'm afraid of getting hurt??
When I'm single and dating, I'm great, no jealousy, insecurities, I do as I please and laugh at the jealous guy! But now when things are serious....Im so different.

IMO...these are signs either that you are not ready to be serious with someone yet or you are settling for people you are really not attracted to. If you were ready and/or attracted, you would relish the opportunity to be with these people and would make the most of it.

If you are afraid of getting hurt, it is definitely time for you to step back from any relationship and get to know yourself better. Take it from a person who has been hurt so much in the past, I have practically an iron gate around my heart.

Take some time for yourself. Get to like you for who you are and not what (or who) you have. Find out which type of movies you enjoy, what type of books you like to read, etc. That information will place you in the proper environment where you can meet people with similar interests which will become the foundation for an enjoyable relationship.
