Torn between my craving for companionship and my love for new discovery

Hi all, 28(M) here. The title kind of says it all… I’m unsure of what to do and who I am. I often times feel like it’s a war between freedom and stability

I’ve only been in one serious relationship of 3 years and it was both the happiest and most miserable time in my life. Hindsight being 20/20 as it is, I know picking the WRONG person was the main reason for the misery, but it doesn’t change the fact that I push away anyone that dares to get close to me on a deeper level. I fear the finality of picking someone and sticking with them. Or maybe I fear commitment because it means I can’t just move on to a “better fit” without severely hurting the feelings of another, which tears me apart

I know I’m capable of being monogamous and content… I just don’t know though. I’ve only done it once and I only held onto that relationship because of personal ideals- not feeling. On the flip side, I’m not ugly, but I’m also not a standout stud and my more “temporary” angst stems from the fact that every girl I meet that truly intrigues me usually isn’t interested in me in the slightest, which is a blow to my ego as well

Honestly, I feel like a bad person and wish someone here could just magically tell me how not to be a bad person.
