Defenses 自我保护

Most people have been hurt in interpersonal relationships. With time and painful experiences, we all risk building up varying degrees of bitterness and become defended. 

大多数人都曾在人际关系中受到过伤害。随着时间的推移，又考虑到伤痛的过往，我们都不敢冒险增强不同程度的伤痛感，变得很有防御性。

Fear of Intimacy 害怕亲近

The reality is most people can only tolerate a certain amount of closeness. We are defended about letting someone else in.

事实是大多数人只能容忍一定程度的亲密感。在让别人进入我们的生活这件事儿上，我们都有防御性。

Pickiness 挑剔

When viewing the world from critical or distrusting eyes, we tend to write off a range of potential partners before even giving them a chance.

当我们以批判的或不信任的眼光去看这个世界的时候，我们可能还没给人机会呢，就把人家淘汰了。

Low Self-Esteem 自卑

We all possess "critical inner voices" that tell us we are too fat, too ugly, too old or too different. When we listen to these "voices," we engage in behaviors that push people away. 

我们都有“爱自我批判的内心声音”，它告诉我们自己太胖了、太丑了、年纪太大了、与别人太不同了。当我们听到这些声音的时候，就会把别人推开。

Fear of Competition 害怕竞争

When we see that someone else is interested in the person we like, we may be quick to back away. We may feel unwilling to compete, particularly as we get older, and we start to have self-attacks like "Your time has passed, you're too old for this."

如果发现别人对自己喜欢的人有兴趣，我们可能会退却。我们多半不愿去竞争，特别是随着年纪的增长，开始自我攻击，比如“你的好时光已经过去了，你太老了不适合。”

Isolation and Routine 习惯独处

With age, people tend to retreat further and further into their comfort zones. As both men and women get more comfortable, be it financially or practically, it is also easier for them to form a bubble from which it is difficult to emerge.

随着年龄的增加，人们会越来越愿意安居在自己一个人的舒适区。不管是经济上还是实际上，男性和女性都过得更舒服，所以他们会更容易形成一个难以刺破的泡泡。

Rule-making 制定条条框框

As years pass, we often develop rulebooks for ourselves regarding dating. In effect, we put what we have learned "down on paper," but what looks good on paper doesn't always work in real life. When we act on rules based on our past, we can create a perpetual cycle of disappointing relationships. 

一年年过去，我们通常在约会方面会搞出本规则手册。事实上，我们只是“纸上谈兵”，纸上看上去棒棒的规则不一定适用于现实生活。如果只是按照根据过往总结的规则行事，我们可能陷入失望关系无限循环的怪圈。
