I like guys less if they like me...

So, this sounds kind of ridiculous, but I've found that when guys show interest in me, I kind of... lose respect for them or something. I mean, I'm definitely flattered, and I may very well like them, but if they seem to be interested I kind of wonder in the back of my mind why on earth they do. And I kind of like them less, or maybe start to think there must be something wrong with them, or know that even if they seem to really like me now, some day soon they're going to realize that I am not worth the effort, and feel like they've been wasting their time. And so I maybe tend to push interested guys away, because I don't want to waste their time or anything. And I just feel like this is not quite healthy... But I'm not sure what to do or if I'm just whining about something that's not going to change and doesn't matter. Anyway, thanks for your time, any input would be much appreciated.

It sounds like you have low self-esteem and you don't value yourself very much. This plays a role when you see a guy showing interest in you because you wonder what it is about you that they are interested in. With low self-worth, you don't see yourself in a positive light and you don't expect others do view you positively either. You believe there is nothing about you to be worthy of dating someone, and when someone shows that you are worth dating, you react quickly and push them away. I suggest that you work on your self-esteem and believe that you are a worth-while good person, and any guy would be lucky to date you.

I would agree with the first poster. Bc, you could easily find yourself in a relationship that the guy treats you like dirt but you keep coming back for more. You are worth-while.
