You have a Pre-occupied Anxious Attachment style.
What does this mean? You attach very easily, want to 'open-up' with anyone willing to hear you out, have very poor boundaries, and become easily consumed in checking in with the person as to how they feel about you AND are almost constantly in fear of being abandoned. These people typically put other people's needs ahead of their own, and will often in time lash-out to their partner or object of affection for not 'returning' the favour/meeting their own needs.
Her style of attachment looks like Ambivalent-Avoidant. What that means is although she wants to feel connected to people, she grew up with the experience that getting too close to anyone is associated with pain and possibly even losing herself.
Both Pre-occupied and Ambivalent-Avoidant have the uncanny way of finding their way to each other's arms and forming very toxic attachment patterns together.
Your behavior would likely have been deemed smothering by a woman who had a more secure attachment style.
I would avoid contact with this person, but much like an addict, you suffer from co-dependency issues and abstaining from contacting her likely won't happen anytime soon unless you find someone else to attach to.
Thank you for your reply! Yeah, I definitely developed a lot since I've met that girl and I do not make some mistakes that I used to. I definitely developed mostly in terms of internal game, I am less dependant on external validation than I used to be and now I would definitely play this very different. But damage was done and for me it is now more about fixing this thing. I have no problem with letting it go after failed pick up nowerdays, but this one case is different, because this is this type of person that is really valuable to me, despite her difficult character. It's no longer about picking up, it's about fixing the mistakes and having such person back in your life, after you said some bad (but true) things to her, after you were too needy and showed to much affection.
Your post was very insightful and I guess you might be right about our personalities. But what's best for me aside, what would you suggest if I would like to fix it somehow? How should I approach person with such personality, especially at this point, when she does not want to resume contact with me, because I was the one who broke it and I was also the one who gave her affection too fast and the one who said some truths about her that she is ashamed of but knows they are true?
