I do this by default when trying to establish relationships with people and my track record is not good.

Though believe it or not, sometimes it does not turn people away!

    i don't know but the weird thing is when i stopped doing it i'm so distant and bland my track record is even worse than when i came on too strong

    which sounds like something somebody with trauma would say so i'm going with a firm probably

      Part of the problem is that you could do everything exactly right without any trauma responses and it's still miserable to try and establish adult friendships

        Maybe this is a cis thing, I feel like I'm instant friends and have known each other for years with other trans people
