I’ve been single for 5 years now, and not really in any rush to “settle down” or “find the one”, but I’ve been on a numerous dates, have dated several people for a month of two, but it always seem to fall apart one way or another.

I’m not ugly, and think I’m pretty fun to be around/positive, funny, maybe a bit eccentric, but nothing too bad by any means.

I have no idea why I struggle with dating and maintaining relationships, so I wanted to know if there was any way how I can see what it’s like dating me from the opposite perspective?

      Achshually, CBT is for people that generally have their full mental capacities because it requires them to consciously and directly focus on their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. The cognitive part in particular requires certain mental abilities. Some mental incapacities prevent this type of cognitive introspection, so those individuals would benefit more from therapies that are more indirect in nature, such as ones that fall under the psychodynamic umbrella, acceptance & commitment, values-oriented, solution-focused, or skills training.
