So i'm kind of at a personal sticking point. Call me a generalist but I associate the negative aspects of previous relationships with other girls out there. This isn't approach anxiety its moreso approaching a girl and associating the negative things of previous partners to girls which are out there. This is cramping me no end.

Case in point, i'd approach a girl who I found attractive and if they had a mannerism, or attitude of similar to said ex and it would irritate me. It would sometimes lead to either me walking away or just developing a confrontative attitude to them. Not the fun, interesting and entertaining environment I want to be in.

I don't want to be like this, I think its a psychological thing that I associate with people. I do believe there are many amazing women out there, with a great outlook on life, but through my own thought processes I can't begin to disassociate them with my personal gremlins and past. Maybe i'm too pensive or reflective.

My ex's are exs for a reason and its not a case of oneitis, I think its an attitude or mannerism which I have which I need to shake.

The problem is personal, and I admit it as a weakness I do have. I was just wondering if anybody out there had any advice on how to shake this unfounded misogenism on my part. I really do feel disgusted because of it.

Just send the ones you don't like my way. You'll eventually get tired of doing all the groundwork for me, and you'll quit being so picky.
