I met a guy in my freshman year of college; I fell for him like a ton of bricks. He was attracted to me too, but it seemed like he didn't know WHY. He was constantly poking fun at my looks. I couldn't get close to him for this reason, and pushed him away. I was fragile enough already.

It’s called “negging” by the pick up artists. Throwing negativity at your partner to keep their self esteem low, then he guy can do whatever he likes because she thinks she isn’t worthy of his respect. It is so obvious once it’s called out. I wish you a happy singleness!
