I had a VERY high drive from 12 to 38, and that did cause me some problems, but mainly it was a dearth of quality mates which men are all seeing now, that caused the problems. Not so much poor choices, just poor options and opportunities. I've been comfortable being alone since I was a kid in the 1970s, didn't have much choice living on a farm with a family that was on a scale of indifferent to hateful towards me. No escape without a car and the nearest town is 20 miles away.
Being married or living with someone never felt comfortable to me, but as long as I was getting the drive handled I put up with everything else. The last 12 years have been a lot better, living alone, avoiding entanglements, not having to pay for someone who provides nearly nothing.
The work I had to do on myself was to make the PTSD from my older brother trying to end me several times and dad throwing me into walls and kicking me when he was frustrated. Gained a lot of ground on that 2009 to 2011, it was not fun.
Others have proven themselves to be untrustworthy, everyone gets the same chance to be a trusted member of my circle, but most fail at the very simple requirement of being honorable and trustworthy.
