Why am I incapable of feeling right with the world unless I believe what I want is beyond my grasp?

I want to date women, to be successful, to get what I want out of life, and I've tried taking steps. My problem though is then once I get what I want I can't help but have a problem with it, and I always just end up throwing it away. It seems like I'm actively fighting against myself and I just don't get it.

Update:

Thank you, but what do I do about it?
