AITA for creating “emergency plans” to burn bridges with everyone I love and care about before they ever get the chance to hurt me? I mean, I literally have these plans for everyone. My parents, siblings, friends, girlfriend, etc.

I don’t know if that’s being an asshole per se but I can definitely see why someone may have a negative reaction to finding something like that out

Honestly i do the same thing. But i possibly have bipolar and my birth giver ruined my sense of trust at a very young age. Mental health stuff also runs very strong on her side of the familyz

Not necessarily the asshole but maybe something that should be addressed with a therapist (I say with no intent to shame, as someone who has discussed personal relationships a lot with my therapist)

Yeah, and I wouldn’t blame any of them for it either. I do this sort of thing to protect myself from being hurt. I don’t know why I feel like any of them would though since none of these people have, yet I can’t really trust anyone. No matter how badly I want to build a connection with the ones I love, I just keep myself apart from them.

I understand. I’m sorry I can’t help you more, but you can at least find comfort in knowing that it doesn’t automatically make you an asshole

Yeah, that does make me feel less like an asshole.
