I have a feeling all my relationships are doomed to fail. Not only romantic ones, even friendships.
I'm an outgoing person, or at least that's the impression I give off. I'm loud, I talk a lot, I'm smart and funny. People tend to like me automatically. But that's not who I am, not really. I've just learned to act like that because my real personality just isn't interesting.
And so while I have no trouble making friends, I have trouble keeping them because, as I get comfortable in their presence, I slip up with the act and act more like my true self. I have accepted on some level that I'll probably end up forever alone, but sometimes, like today, it bothers me a lot.
Wat do?

Just be alone, im exactly the same way OP so ive learned to keep people at a distance so theyll stop hurting me when they leave
I'm similar, although there are a couple of people who like "the real me". The only thing I hide these days are my edgiest beliefs.

I'm honestly starting to think this is my only option.

You're really lucky. As for me, my problem isn't in being edgy (actually those are things I don't bother to hide at all since I can deliver them in an entertaining way), the problem is that I'm just really boring.

Well that's okay too. Some people just are boring. In fact most are. 95% of people I come across bore me to tears. The few interesting people I try to keep around.
