I Thought I Was Just Unlucky in Love Until I Discovered What Was Quietly Following Me
For many years, I believed I was simply unlucky when it came to love. Every relationship I entered started well, full of excitement and promise. But just when things became serious, everything would fall apart without a clear reason.
Men would suddenly grow distant, accuse me of things I never did, or leave without explanation. After each breakup, I was left confused and emotionally drained. At first, I blamed myself. I thought maybe I was too loving or too trusting.
Friends advised me to relax, to stop searching for love, or to focus on my career. I tried all of that, but nothing changed. The same pattern repeated itself again and again. It reached a point where I feared even starting something new because I already knew how it would end.
What made things stranger was how similar the endings were. Arguments would arise over small issues, partners would say they felt uncomfortable around me, and some even said they felt “blocked” or restless when with me.
I couldn’t understand how different people could describe the same feeling. That is when fear slowly replaced denial. After one painful breakup, I began noticing things in my dreams. I would see shadows standing behind me whenever I tried to walk toward someone.
Sometimes I felt watched even when I was alone. It was unsettling, and for the first time, I accepted that maybe my problem was not just emotional or psychological.
