You have the WHAT but I don't think you have the WHY. The WHY most likely stems from your childhood with your family dynamics.
Hmm. . . Which areas of my childhood is there to look into? Parents, friends, school, neighborhood, country? All of it?
- My parents got divorced when I was two years old, so I don't even remember it. And I don't really 'care' because they are a horrible fit for each other anyway.
- I was bullied as a child because I had a female middle name. My name was my greatest enemy and it was the root of all my insecurities as I was growing up. Later came the acne, but I got over that pretty quickly.
I always felt like I didn't have the friends that I wanted. I started getting obsessed with being friends with the 'cool kids' (which I later on managed to be, because I started pulling myself together at the age of 18). Of course, the cool kids were not nearly as cool as my image of them was and I got disappointed in the whole idea of 'cool' and not cool, so I stopped chasing it.
Or did I . . . ? These drama queens are usually the 'cool' girls, so maybe it is not a coincidence that I am attracted to them. Maybe the old seed of 'wanting to be cool' has grown even bigger, making me want to hook up with 'cool' women to prove to myself that I CAN. Maybe my ego is looking to be proud of me, by wanting me to achieve this so badly that it even gives me a false image of 'love'.

^Another imagined positive to balance out the negative. Drama queens by nature go hot - cold - hot. You've come to identify these fluctuations as 'sexual'. She goes from being an ice cube to 'warming up to you' and you go, "Wow, I really like this." - But why was she cold in the first place?
Couldn't their cold behavior simply be viewed as a shit-test? She wants to see how strongly you can stand on your feet and what the level of desperation will be once she goes 'cold'.

How will your future experience shape your life differently than your former experience?
Yes. . . Never mind what I said earlier about experience. Experience in itself means nothing. What conclusions and lessons you draw from that experience is what matters.
