Scorpio Mirroring.

Correct, in the beginning it is in a way self-preservation and self-containment but all this self-control, is warranted to a degree, to keep ones heart under lock and key, to be aware of red flags as they come but think again, how much of that relentless self-control, in fact comes from fear. A lot. Therefore no worthwhile relationship will flourish under such circumstances, not a lengthy one at that.
It is fear driven, we are afraid to be in a state of vulnerability, to let others in, but the truth is this fear will also eventually drive us away from possible love, love requires us to jump. Let us take diving as an example, we may stand on the ledge of the dive board, we fear, we fear with every molecule of our being, of what may be, therefore to preserve ourselves from, hmm, let us say, embarrassment, we slowly back ourselves down the ladder. When in fact, we should have dived anyways, why? When we took the plunge we are not letting go of the fear, but surpassing our fear, we do not let it rule us, it does not disappear, it does not go away, it will always be there, but we can say we are the ones in control of those very fears that stricken us. Every time, there in afterwards, when we appear on the ledge, we still fear, but every dive, builds our courage up even more so, and 'that' we must learn to tackle and master.
If we let fear rule us, we lose out on the complete depth and breadth that comes with love, there is no guarantee, no security that comes with it, as you have evidently figured out but every loss will only teach us to get up on our own feet again, it should not dampen our hearts and its capability to swim entirely in love. By self-preservation, we are keeping those whom love us at arms length, eventually one will end up pushing those whom matter away.
Love is both selfish and selfless. Love hurts as much as it heals, we should not be afraid of pain but live with the knowledge that we can always strive pass the gates of hell and surpass every summit of the highest peaks, alive.
