I’m 35 but I feel like I am running out of time to have a successful relationship. Not too many people find true love after age 40, from what I hear. I am afraid to commit to anyone because everyone I committed to in the past mistreated me and I don’t trust myself to pick the right partner because of this. It takes a long time to see some people’s true colors as well. My self esteem is not that high at all so, at this point, in my life I will probably attract someone else with low self esteem which would be a recipe for disaster. I don’t want to wait forever to have another relationship because I’m not getting any younger, ya know? I have been single since 2011

I would start by focusing much more on what you actually want, rather than what is going wrong/gone wrong/will go wrong. Tell a different story!
"It's been a long time since I was in a relationship. Before this relationship vacation, I had some relationships that really challenged me, and those relationships helped me realize with much more clarity what I really want in a partner. I'm still working on myself, but personal evolution is a journey, not a destination, and it's a journey I'll make my whole life. I understand that other people are working on themselves, too, and I'm excited to think about a relationship where we are both growing and evolving. I'm really feeling ready for this relationship vacation to end soon, so I'm going to spend a lot of time focusing on the kind of person I want to be with, and also working on being the kind of person I want to be in that relationship."

Work on your self-esteem first.
Do whatever it takes. Walk like you own everything.
Point in the mirror and with a click of the mouth wink and point like you all that.
Honestly re-evaluate your life and you character, and I am sure you would come to conclusion.
Make a list what you want, what you expect and what you can give. Agree to make changes in your life, if needed.
It usually helps to gain some self respect.

What I want in a relationship is to just be left alone. But that's not what a relationship is about, and most women demand the opposite. So if the OP is anything similar to me, my suggestion to him is to rule out relationships entirely, and like life on his terms. Like I do.

The thing I want is some balance. I don’t want a relationship where we spend ALL our time together. I do need some time to myself. I also don’t want to be controlled and that’s hard to find.
