Does anyone ever go back and forth on liking someone?

I do and its really hard to either move past it and move on or decide I like them. Oh, and It also triggers my anxiety.

And then sometimes I'll leave them and then go back to them and just really mess with their head, which is never what I want to do. I was only that bad once tho, but I'm afraid I'll do it again.

Yes, I have felt ambiguous about people. Are you being triggered by the same things as last time?

The really bad time the situation was a lot more complicated and there was a lot more stuff that was wrong with the whole situation that was screwing with my head.

Yes. I've had a problem where sometimes they put on a facade before we are officially together, and then once we are a couple their true personality comes out and I decide that I don't like them anymore. So then I end up breaking up with them, but kinda miss them once I do, but I know better that things wouldn't have worked and that I'll find someone better in time.

No, but someone (online) is like that with me. He has changed his mind a lot, and can like me a lot and then feel nothing. I'm not sure if that's a bad sign or not. Whenever he says he doesn't want to be with me, he changes his mind back because he feels bad. I don't know if his feelings would last if we were together.

I've never experienced that, unfortunately when I like someone, I like them for a long time, I find it hard to move on, if it's not reciprocal. It takes me a long time to move on before I like someone else. Once i'm attached or like someone, I like them for ages.

No. I'm quite steady in my liking of someone. I don't come across people I develop a feelings for very often and when I do, I do so for a reason.

But if I go off them, that's for a good reason too and I rarely go back, mostly because I rarely get a chance. They usually move on too.

It's a bad sign. They'll always just mess you about. People like that don't change. Better to move on from thus one.
