Lonely, depressed, cornered by bad choices made decades ago.

I struggle with getting close to people. I have for decades for fear of rejection. Then I made some really bad choices, destroyed the family I had. Now I carry that baggage. I have found a couple people I wanted to get close to. One learned of my past and rejected me. The latest I don't think knows but because of her situation (family & personal issues) isn't realistic, and now I fear that I may have made her uncomfortable . Being alone sucks. I now have situational depression and realize anxiety as well. My big hurdle I can not change, my past bad choices, follows me & ruins job opportunities and severly limits pool of potential friend & relationship possibilities.
