Your Type
Your biggest defense mechanism in love is 'Nitpicking and Devaluation'. When you realize you care more and more and feel dependent, fear drives you to amplify their flaws. Subconsciously you feel, if you prove 'he's actually awful', you won't hurt as much if you lose him. This defense is extremely hurtful. If you truly love them, stop examining their flaws with a magnifying glass.
