romance with love issues?

i have been watching romance anime recently and kinda want something more, relatable then the classic “2 people fall deeply in love” trope. in a past relationship it ended badly, and i went from a anxious attachment style to more of an avoidant attachment style. i love hard for a little bit and then kinda lose feelings/get scared and pull away and end things. i was wondering if there are any anime like that? either where the main character(s) either struggle with that and get over it, or even any where its like a failed romance, and the main character gets mentally screwed, kinda like how i went from anxious attachment to avoidant. thanks

just to point out most romance anime has that. Where the MCs struggle with their own feelings of self worth and fears of being usages or rejected by the person they like. the whole point is the wish fulfillment at the end where they finally make peace with all that and confess and then it’s the awkward navigation of how to be in a relationship with each other.

what are some that you like? ive seen people mention fruits basket is good, but so far the only ones ive seen are: a silent voice, your name., rascal does not dream, and i guess neon genesis evangelion kinda has that but none of those really scratch my itch lol

I mean honestly, what I have always done if you have Crunchyroll is go to the “more like this” section of the show I am watching. Netflix has that too. Just pick and see what happens.
