Thanks for using healthcare magic. I, Dr Abhishek Kapoor, would help you in this query.
I think, that could be due to your personality traits. There is a personality disorder called histrionic personality disorder. It is characterized by a pattern of excessive emotions and attention-seeking including inappropriately seductive behavior and an excessive need for approval. It usually begins in early adulthood and people affected by HPD are lively, dramatic, vivacious, enthusiastic, and flirtatious. People with may exhibit sexually provocative behavior, express strong emotions with an impressionistic style and can be easily influenced by others. Such kind of people usually believe that relationships are more intimate than they actually are. If you have above personality traits, then you have histrionic personality. In that case, you can consult a psychologist for proper personality assessment.
In case, you need further help, you can ask.
